The EUR-ACE project summary

The EUR-ACE project aims at setting up an European system for accreditation of Engineering education, with the following main aims: provide an appropriate “European label” to the graduates of the accredited educational programmes, improve the quality of educational programmes in engineering, facilitate trans-national recognition by the label marking, facilitate recognition by the competent authorities, in accord with the EU Directives and facilitate mutual recognition agreements. The system will be based on a set of common European standards that will be proposed, tested in a number of countries, refined and tuned, and then tested again in order to achieve the largest consensus. Also, a detailed proposal will be formulated on how to set up and run the system that must become self-supporting within the five years. The project will thus interest several target groups, from higher education decision-makers at the European level to governing bodies of HE Institutions (Higher Education Institutions), from national and local HE authorities to engineering teachers, from professional organisations to employers of engineers. It will be a significant contribution to the harmonization of the European higher education, and possibly pave the way for analogous initiatives in other professional fields.
