ENAEE Agency
ENAEE or European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education was founded in February 2006 with the following objectives:
ENAEE is the European organisation in charge of granting the authorisation to the accreditation agencies to award the EUR-ACE® label in the first and second cycles of accredited engineering programmes. The members of ENAEE are agencies and professional organisations interested in the education and training of engineering professionals.
EUR-ACE® system implementation began in 2007, with first labels awarding. Since then, ENAEE has accredited nearly 2,000 programmes in more than 20 countries.
EUR-ACE® Label
EUR-ACE® system includes the main stakeholders' opinions and perspectives: students, higher education institutions, employers, professional organisations and accreditation bodies.
To ensure engineering education programmes educate graduates who can demonstrate these competencies, these programmes are subject to accreditation by their professional associations or other accreditation body that carry out the programme-based accreditation.
