Title :

Author_Institution :

Abstract :
The lack of a clear definition about what constitutes a requirements engineer is problematic. Companies trying to establish clear RE responsibilities don´t have clear standards on how to train their people, define the role, or choose the right people for the job. The Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering initiative (http://certified-re.de/en) has established a syllabus and a certification framework to improve this situation in industry.
