The European Engineer (EUR-ING) title is delivered by the European Federation of National Engineering Associations (FEANI), and is designed as a guarantee of competence for professional engineers.
This title is based on those graduating from an INDEX listing the institutions of engineering higher education in European countries represented within FEANI, and their engineering programmes, which are all recognized by FEANI as fulfilling the mandatory education requirements for the EUR-ING - which encourages trans-European mobility – a form of skills passport. Mobility is important for engineers, because of the demand for flexible deployment on an international basis, and the different availability of engineers across national borders. Engineers and Employers require a tool that shows a comparable educational profile whose recognition is based on international standards and is easy to use for professionals and employers.
