The paper is dedicated to engineers' emotional competency (EC) assessment examined through emotional intelligence (EI). The aim of the work was to provide learners with self-evaluation tools for life-long learning, represented by qualimetric instruments to evaluate EC. The research focuses on engineers' EC components factor value in relation to future or experienced work. Firstly, the data were collected via Hall's EI questionnaire based on the Emotional Intelligence Model. The respondents were will-be engineers (N=47) at higher educational institutions and engineers (N=12) with working experience employed in the electric engineering business sector. Secondly, the differences between future engineers' levels of EC as well as experienced' engineers' levels of EC were analyzed. Thirdly, the study proposed the qualimetric instruments to evaluate engineers' EI in relation to the perceived importance of EC components. The respondents were future engineers (N=15) specialized in electric and power engineering. In order to justify how the factors in the whole model of engineers' EC are distributed, the assessment of the factors was calculated with the conformance index value. The study implications and limitations can be used as a perspective for future research. © 2023 IEEE.
