APPLIED COMPUTER MODEL FOR CALCULATING THE PARAMETERS OF A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER CERTIFICATE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Abstract

Certification of engineering personnel is one of the effective systems for assessing the compliance of engineers' competencies with international requirements. The result of professional certification of engineers is a certificate. This article presents an applied computer model for calculating the validity period of a certificate depending on the applicant's level of knowledge, length of service, and level of responsibility of the profession. According to the results of computer modeling, the specified input parameters affect the validity period of the certificate and differ from the existing approach by 20%. The research results can be applied in certification centers for certification of professional engineers.
