Progress and Future Development of Environmental Engineering Professional Engineering Education Certification
The major of environmental engineering mainly focuses on the prevention and treatment of environmental pollution,which is a complex systematic project.To ensure the training of qualified talents in the field of environmental engineering,engineering education certification should be vigorously promoted.This paper first analyzes the current setting situation of environmental engineering in China.Secondly,it systematically analyzes the current situation of the certification of professional engineering education of environmental engineering in China from the perspectives of provincial distribution,annual certification change,number of certification rounds,and whether the two first-class universities/disciplines are established.The research found that the certification of engineering education of environmental engineering specialty in China has been valued and vigorously promoted in the past decade,and the current certification ratio has reached 28.8%.The promotion degree of engineering education certification in all provinces(province-level municipality,autonomous regions)is affected by the number of environmental engineering specialty colleges and universities and their comprehensive strength.In addition,the engineering education certification of environmental engineering in China is currently facing problems such as a low overall certification ratio,an extreme imbalance between regions,and slow progress in the certification of non-double first-class construction universities.It is suggested to formulate corresponding incentives and preferential policies for non-double first-class construction universities in remote provinces in the central and western regions and open up mutual recognition between the environmental protection engineering system and engineering education certification.
