The Finnish National Committee for FEANI (SFNC) has representation of four Finnish engineering organizations: Union of Professional Engineers in Finland, Academic Engineers and Architects in Finland TEK, Tekniska Föreningen i Finland and Driftingenjörsförbundet i Finland DIFF. The SFNC Board met four times, in addition to this an annual Degree Committee meeting was organised. These organizations represent a majority of engineers with bachelor, master or doctoral level education in Finland, two of them represent particularly the Swedish speaking engineers in Finland.
