FEANI

The Fédération Européene d'Associations Nationales d'Ingénieurs (FEANI) was formed in 1951 to:

Secure the recognition of European engineering titles and to protect those titles in order to facilitate the freedom of engineers to move and practice within and outside Europe.
Safeguard and promote the professional interests of engineers.
Foster high standards of education and professional practice and regularly review them.
Promote cultural and professional links within the engineering profession, especially in Europe.

FEANI maintains an Index of courses at higher education institutions in its 25 member countries as well as those in France and Norway. These courses are recognised by FEANI as fulfilling the education requirements for the EUR ING title. The Index also contains brief descriptions of the education systems of these countries.

The Index contains approximately 14,000 engineering courses, each of which details its title, award and duration. The Index can be purchased on CD-ROM from FEANI for €100, with 5 updates available at the reduced price of €35. More information including how to purchase the Index CD-ROM can be found at www.feani.org/euring.html#Purchase

Registration is open to engineers who are registered with the National Member organisations. (For example, in the UK, this means that applicants must already be registered with the ECUK.) Applicants should have minimum qualifications exemplified by a secondary education validated by certificates awarded at about the age of 18 and a minimum of an approved three-year degree. All the university courses accepted by FEANI as qualifying for registration are listed in the FEANI Index, an extensive reference document which also includes descriptions of the education systems in each FEANI country. A certificate of registration is issued to registrants, who may use it to prove their European credentials when necessary.

The UK Privy Council has approved the use of the title EUR ING as a prenominal, in front of the name and before all other ranks and titles. It does not replace the title Chartered Engineer (CEng), which should still be used as a post-nominal. Chartered Engineers are generally eligible for the EUR ING title, and over 12,000 British Chartered Engineers have already achieved the qualification.
