200-481: The EUR-ACE label Framework Standards and Guidelines (EAFSG) as a set of quality standards for the outcomes of the engineering degree programmes, the training institutions and the accreditation agencies. EAFSG's are intended to be applied to all branches of engineering and to qualify graduates to enter the engineering profession and to have their qualifications recognised throughout the area. ENAEE has established
220-649: The EUR-ACE label for engineering degree programmes which fulfil the EAFSG standards requirements for student workload, programme outcomes and programme management; as of mid-2019, more than 2 000 EUR-ACE labels have been awarded at Bachelor and Master Level within the European Higher Education Area and beyond>. ENAEE does not accredit directly engineering degree programmes; after evaluation of their policies and procedures, it authorizes accreditation and quality assurance agencies to award
SECTION 10
#1732776217160240-672: The EUR-ACE label to the engineering degree programmes which these agencies accredit. As of mid-2019, 15 agencies are authorized by ENAEE. They signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement, known as the EUR-ACE Accord , whereby they accept each other's accreditation decisions in respect of bachelor's and master's degree programmes. As of end 2018, more than 2 000 EUR-ACE labels were awarded to engineering degree programmes in 300 universities and other higher education institutions, in countries both within and outside of Europe.
