- European Engineer
European Engineer (Eur Ing) is an international professional qualification for
engineer s used in many European countries. The title is granted after successful application to a national member ofEuropean Federation of National Engineering Associations (FEANI) which includes representation from many European countries, including much of theEuropean Union . It allows a person who has anengineering degree and usually an engineering professional qualification in one of the member countries to use the qualification in others, but this depends on local legislation.Academic qualifications alone have limited value. In providing an acceptable common & highly professional standard, the European Engineer requires proven experience in the application of knowledge, level of skill, safety and environmental consciousness, sense of responsibility, ability to communicate and level of supervision received.
The title Eur Ing is "
pre-nominal ", i.e. it is placed before rather than after the name as in the case of apost-nominal title such as that foracademic degree s (however, in some EU countries, academic degrees are also pre-nominal). Names are also placed on the "FEANI Register" maintained by FEANI in additional to national member registers.A minimum total period of seven years formation, consisting of an accredited engineering degree, further training and responsible experience is required by FEANI for the Eur Ing title.
The title is equivalent to national engineering titles. In countries where the title of a
Chartered Engineer is used, theRepublic of Ireland and theUnited Kingdom , the Chartered Engineer title is a prerequist requirement for an application for the Eur Ing title. Recognition of the qualification and title are generally not specifically incorporated into national law, however in the United Kingdom thePrivy Council has approved the use of the title; however in all cases approval is only afterpeer review by the appropriate nationalengineering society , in addition the EU Directive 89/48/EEC generally exempts a bearer from additional examination in the Union.ee also
