Presented at International Division (INTL) Technical Session #4: Global DEI

After more than four years of work by various experts in engineering education worldwide, it was possible to create an independent international registry, with worldwide coverage, that allows the evaluation and certifies the level of professional competencies of engineering educators.
This registry, which is already taking place on all continents by thousands of voluntary engineering educators pioneers, will allow the quality of engineering education to increase throughout the globe and finally will allow recognition of the dignity of the profession of Engineering Educator.
In this paper, the international credentialing functioning is described as well as the roadmap of competencies development to the systematic improvement proposed to the engineering educators to build up as faculty to achieve the profession high-level quality global recognition. The bridge with the recognized international accreditation of engineering education programs is also shown to have a symbiotic effect with advantages for the universities and their faculty.
