  • Abstract
    The article compares three characteristic quality assurance models of USA, UK and Germany, analyzes their features and influences to the formation of innovative engineers under globalization. The paper then points out that the Engineer Registration Institution of UK is more flexible and more effective to encourage more innovative engineers compared with USA´s, and easier to harmonize compared with the decentralization of USA´s. Germany has no Engineer Registration Institution now; the new Engineer Registration system is on the process of construction. The paper finally proposes that China may found the top organization of engineering to harmonize the ongoing establishment of Engineer Registration Institution, and may ponder over and design carefully the systemic institution under globalization, which not only assures the quality of engineer formation but also cultivates more innovative engineers, and is flexible and effective to regulate the formation of engineers.
