Abstract
The article discusses the review of the state of professional competence art, presenting a compilation of indexed research in the two most comprehensive multidisciplinary databases: "Scopus" and "Web of Science" from 1950 to 2012. By analyzing scientific domain of research literature the existence of eight approaches of professional competence is shown, some related to the corresponding international system of competence certification which are supported by different philosophies with a common base. These theoretical and visually positions presented are compared with each other and serve to approach the competence analysis for higher education in engineering. From the presented approaches, it is emphasized that the holistic approach is the most appropriate for coding competence for higher education in engineering. In the analysis of competence in engineering the Tuning Project in Latin America is described and two competence encodings are presented: CDIO and IPMA, both are compared to the Tuning Project for Latin America in order to answer the question of what would be the most useful to cover professional competence needs in Engineering in Latin America.
