Presentation
ENAEE, the “European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education”, stems out of ESOEPE, the “European Standing Observatory for the Engineering Profession and Education”, which was established on 9 September 2000 with the purpose of "build[ing] confidence in systems of accreditation of engineering degree programmes within Europe", and facilitating "exchange of information", "voluntary agreements on accreditation of engineering educational programmes and recognition of engineering qualifications" and "the development of standards on the competence requirements of graduate engineers".
To pursue these aims, ESOEPE took the initiative of proposing to the European Commission (DG Education and Culture) the EUR-ACE® (“EURopean Accredited Engineer”) project, approved in August 2004. Between September 2004 and March 2006 EUR-ACE® has elaborated a proposal for an European system of accreditation of engineering programmes at the First and Second Cycle level (including programmes leading directly to a SC degree): in the envisaged system, “national” engineering accreditations agencies should continue to award their certificates, and the common EUR-ACE® quality label be added to them.
In order to contribute more effectively to the development of quality assurance and accreditation policies in European engineering education, ESOEPE had decided to transform itself into a formal International Non-profit Association, denoted ENAEE (European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education), as ratified by two ESOEPE General Assemblies (October 2005; March 2006).
ENAEE has been formally established on 8 February 2006 by 14 associations concerned with engineering education throughout Europe (see the list of founding ENAEE members and the Statutes).
The first ENAEE General Assembly took place on 30 March 2006 and elected the first ENAEE Administrative Council, the first ENAEE President (Prof. Giuliano Augusti) and the first ENAEE Treasurer (Mr. Philippe Wauters).
General Assemblies have then been held regularly every year. The 2009 ENAEE Assembly took place on 21 January and re-elected Prof. Giuliano Augusti and Mr. Philippe Wauters respectively as President and Treasurer for a second 3-year term from 01/04/2009. Dr Iring Wasser and Prof. Sebastiao Feyo have been appointed Vice-Presidents.
The Permanent Secretariat of ENAEE has been entrusted to FEANI.
