The EUR-ACE framework and accreditation system provides a set of standards that permits to identify high quality programmes in Europe and abroad. The EUR-ACE system incorporates the views and perspectives of the main stakeholders (students, higher education institutions, employers, professional organizations and quality accreditation bodies). It has been conceived with the aim of increasing readability and transparency of engineering education, which results in benefits for the whole academic and professional community.

• An additional verification of high quality engineering education –it meets the quality standards set by the engineering profession
• Reliable information on the quality of Second Cycle programmes for admission to doctoral programmes
• Benchmarked against other European engineering programmes
• Reliable information on the quality of First Cycle programmes for admission to Second Cycle programmes
• A means of promotion and an incentive for prospective students to choose a EUR-ACE® labeled programme

• Assurance that the EUR-ACE® labelled programme meets high European and international standards and is recognised by employers in Europe
• Facilitates application to EUR-ACE® Master and doctoral programmes in other HEIs
• In countries where the engineering profession is regulated, EUR-ACE® labelled programmes meet the educational requirements for becoming a professional or chartered engineer
• The EUR-ACE® label facilitates graduate mobility as required by the 2005 EU Directive on Recognition of Professional Qualification
• Regulatory bodies accept EUR-ACE^® labelled programmes as meeting requirements for becoming chartered engineer

Successful completion of EUR-ACE^®labelled programme assures:

• Candidate‘s knowledge, understanding  and practical capabilities meet international standards

• Their complementarity with the ECTS Diploma Supplement
• Reliable verification of the high quality of the engineering degree programme of candidates, (above the generic minimum standards set by laws), as well as relevance to the engineering profession

• It offers an additional quality label to customers (Higher Education Institutions)
• Certification of quality of accreditation agency according to European Standards and Guidelines (ENQA*) and employers’ requirements
• Integration into the European network of engineering professionals
• Dialogue between ENAEE and the International Engineering Alliance with the objective of facilitating worldwide mobility of engineers
• Possibility of accrediting in other European and countries worldwide

• Reassurance that graduates meet educational requirements for admission to their registers (if organisation  has set its educational standard at EUR-ACE level)
• The EUR-ACE^® label is the educational standard for the professional card
  
• FEANI automatically includes the EUR-ACE^® accredited programmes in its Index which lists educational requirements for the EUR-ING titel
