The Engineering Leadership Institute
is built around the
Engineering Competency Model
The Engineering Leadership Institute's Success Enabling Skills™ Performance Certification System is built around the Engineering Competency Model (ECM).The ECM was originated through a partnership between the US Department of Labor Education and Training Administration and the American Association of Engineering Societies (AAES). The curriculum was selected by the Engineering Leadership Institute because it:
-
Defines essential skill competencies to enter, advance, and succeed in the Engineering industry
-
Provides a model to identify gaps in skill competencies and performance
-
Utilizes the Competency Based Education (CBE) model
-
Provides resources for career exploration and guidance
