regulatory bodies have developed or are in the process of developing competence-based standards for registration. Educational and professional accords for mutual recognition of qualifications and registration have developed statements of graduate attributes and professional competence profiles. This document, which is a revised version that takes into account the present-day state of engineering activities, presents the background to these developments, their purpose and the methodology and limitations of the statements. After defining general range statements that allow the competences of the different categories to be distinguished, the paper presents the graduate attributes and professional competence profiles for three professional tracks: engineer, engineering technologist, and engineering technician.
