Germany GermanyDeutscher Verband Technisch-Wissenschaftlicher Vereine (DVT)Contact: Mr. Kruno HERNAUT C/o
Dr. Jörg Debelius
Declared
Engineers:
250.000
The German law system does not plan an official or normal relationship to governmental authorities. Our member associations and DVT itself have good relations to the relevant authorities and governmental authorities who frequently consult DVT and VDI on general engineering matters. A very good example are the "Ingenieurgesetze der Länder", which were drafted by VDI and DVT together. In special technical fields the government will seek advice from qualified organizations. For example if the government plans decisions in the field of nuclear energy they would ask Deutsches Atomforum or Kerntechnische Gesellschaft for relevant advice.

Engineers:
80.000 The Polish National Member of FEANI, i.e. the Polish Federation of Engineering Associations (PFEA) as well as its Member Associations function on the basis of and in accordance with the Polish Law on Associations (Act of April 7 1989). In addition, the Polish Federation of Engineering Associations (PFEA) functions on the basis of its Statutes and according to its provisions which among others clearly defines PFEA's and Engineering Associations position with regard to professional rights and interests of engineers, as well as contacts with national authorities (presenting opinions and suggestions on matters pertinent to technology, science and economy, etc), representing the engineering community in front of those authorities. Polish Federation of Engineering Associations is a non-governmental and self-financing organization, which does not get subsidies from the government. Member Associations of PFEA have the status of legal persons, have their own statutes, their membership in PFEA is voluntary. One of their statutory duties is to protect professional rights and interests of engineers within the branch of engineering they represent. The Engineering Profession, the professional titles "Magister Inzynier" (Mgr Inz.) and "Inzynier" (Inz.) are protected by the Polish law (Act. n° 385 on Higher Education of September 12, 1990).

Adhesion: 1959
In
discussions about engineering education, international
recognition of engineers, the promotion of engineering and
technicians they frequently present their views to government
and parliament, and are frequently invited to do so.
Representatives of the organisations take part regularly in
meetings about the afore mentioned subjects which are organized
by government. They play an active part in the 'Bèta
Federation' of organisations for Science and Technology. This
federation repeatedly held informal discussions with ministers
of Education and Economic Affairs and their main advisers. The Royal Institution is one of the participants in the realization of the 'Regulation for the relationship between consulting engineers and principals'. The other one is the Netherlands Council of Consulting Engineers ONRI. Thus the engineering organisations affiliated to FEANI and the 'ONRI' are fully representative for the engineering profession in Holland Finally it should be emphasized that in Holland the engineering profession is not a regulated one according to the European Communities' Council Directive of 21 December 1988, except in rare cases. This means that Dutch legislation according to this directive does not imply any formal role for the engineering associations.

TURKEY– Istanbul Technical University
SEFI Contact person: Prof. Dr. Gülsün Saglamer Rector Ayazaga Campus 80626 Maslak - Istanbul Turkey
ITU was established in 1773, during the time of the Ottoman Sultan Mustafa III. With its original name "Muhendishane-i Bahr-i Humayun", The Royal School of Naval Engineering, its responsibility was to educate chart masters and ship builders. In 1795, the "Muhendishane-i Berr-i Humayun", The Royal School of Military Engineering, was established to educate the technical staff in the army. In 1847, education in the field of architecture was also introduced. Established in 1883, the School of Civil Engineering assumed the name "Engineering Academy", with the aim of teaching essentials skills needed in planning and implementing the country’s new infrastructure projects. Gaining university status in 1928, the Engineering Academy continued to provide education in the fields of engineering and architecture until it was incorporated into ITU in 1944. Finally, in 1946, ITU became an autonomous university which included the Faculties of Architecture, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical and Electronic Engineering. With a history stretching back over 227 years, providing technical education within a modern educational environment and strong academic staff, ITU is strongly identified with architectural and engineering education in Turkey . Since its inception and foundation under Ottoman rule, ITU has constantly lead the way in reform movements, and in the latter era of the Republic of Turkey, ITU has assumed pivotal roles in the reconstruction, modernization, and administration of the country. The efforts and expertise of ITU graduates have been major contributors in the planning and construction of Turkey’s roads, bridges, dams, factories, buildings, energy plants, communication networks, villages and cities. ITU is a state university which defines and continues to update methods of engineering and architecture in Turkey. It provides its students with modern educational facilities while retaining traditional values, as well as using its strong international contacts to mould young, talented individuals who can compete in the global arena.

CLAIU Rue
Hobbema 2 Type
of institution: ‘Association de fait’
CLAIU, the Liaison Committee of the Associations of University Graduate Engineers of the European Union was founded in 1988 as a de facto confederation aiming at being a platform for consultation and collaboration between the Associations of University graduate engineers from all the member states of the European Union. Today, 8 associations representing 8 countries ( Belgium, France, Luxembourg , Italy, Ireland, Spain , Portugal, Nederland) are members of CLAIU, i.e. in total more than 400.000 University Graduate Engineers are represented. In 1995 CLAIU has created a Register which is the formal presentation of the European Union’s Engineers represented by CLAIU, with their academic and professional formation. Engineers are enrolled in the CLAIU Register if they have an Academic Title issued in a Union country after long duration scientific studies (generally 5 years) and awarded by a European University or a High Level Education Institution listed per member country. CLAIU
will contribute to the project by making its knowledge and
expertise of the engineering education and profession in the
European Union available in order to formulate accreditation criteria. For example, CLAIU
will bring in the conclusions of the International Seminar on
“Increasing the competitiveness of the engineering education
and profession in the European Union” which it organized in Leuven,
Belgium
on April
11-12, 2003
with support of the European Commission. |
