*
. CNI states that it would be against the Italian law to bear the EUR ING title in
Italy. Indeed, the EUR ING being a professional title, would introduce a confusion with the Italian professional title which
can only be delivered by the Italian administration for education.

Consequently, an engineer with an education from Italy and professional experience in Italy only cannot introduce a
request for EUR ING through the Italian National Member.
However, if an engineer with an education from Italy exercises his profession in another European country and is a
member of the FEANI National Member in that country, he may send his application to that National Member.
An application sent directly to the FEANI Secretariat General cannot be considered.

2. Who Can Apply for the EUR ING Title

Application is open only to individuals if they are members of an engineering association represented in FEANI through a
National Member (see section "Members").

3. What is the EUR ING Title

The EUR ING title delivered by FEANI is designed as a guarantee of competence for professional engineers, in order

to facilitate the movement of practicing engineers within and outside the geographical area represented by FEANI's
member countries and to establish a framework of mutual recognition of qualifications in order to enable engineers who
wish to practice outside their own country to carry with them a guarantee of competence
to provide information about the various formation systems of individual engineers for the benefit of prospective
employers
to encourage the continuous improvement of the quality of engineers by setting, monitoring and reviewing standards
The EUR INGs are listed in the , a database maintained by the Secretariat General in Brussels. Currently
over 32.000 European Engineers are listed in the register (May 2013). The "Guide to the FEANI Register" (see section
"Guide" gives the details on the purpose of the Register and how it is managed.

The European Commission, in a statement to the European Parliament, has recognized the FEANI Register and the EUR
ING title as valuable tools for the recognition of national diplomas among member states.

3.1 Criteria for the EUR ING Title

The criteria for the EUR ING title are described in detail in the "Guide". The basic principles are presented hereafter.

Principles and structure of the educational and professional systems in Europe vary considerably. Their value is judged
by FEANI according to the potential competence of the engineer who emerges from them.

The qualification of the engineer, which falls into two main categories of different but equally important competencies -
more theory oriented and more application oriented - first requires an approved engineering education. But full
professional competence is only reached after gaining valid professional experience.

After a at a high level validated by one or more official certificates, normally awarded at the age of
about 18 years, a minimum total period of - education, training and experience -is required by
FEANI for the EUR ING title. This formation consists of:

Minimum three years of successfully completed by an official degree, in a

discipline/programme and given by a university (U) or other recognized body at university level, recognised by FEANI
(see FEANI Index).
Minimum two years of valid (E).
In case the education and experience together is less than the minimum seven years' formation required, the balance
to seven years should be covered by education (U), experience (E), or training (T) monitored by the approved
engineering institutions, or by preliminary engineering professional experience.
In addition to these formation requirements, EUR INGs are required to comply with a Code of Conduct respecting the
provisions of the FEANI Position Paper on Code of Conduct: Ethics and Conduct of Professional Engineers.

An Engineering Education must provide a thorough knowledge of the principles of engineering, based on mathematics,
physics and computer science appropriate to his or her discipline. Any engineer listed in the FEANI Register is
guaranteed to have had such an education.

The duration of professional engineering experience shall be at least two years and include the following:

The solution of problems requiring the application of engineering science in the fields such as research,
development, design, production, construction, installation, maintenance, engineering sales and marketing, and
Management or guiding of technical staff or
The financial, economical, statutory or legal aspects of engineering tasks, or
Industrial and/or environmental problem solving.

3.2 How to know if the school/programme is recognised by FEANI?

In case a EUR ING candidate wants to know, before applying, if the school she/he graduated from as well as the
programme she/he followed to achieve her/his degree is recognised by FEANI, she/he may ask this question to the
relevant National Monitoring Committee directly.
