EUROPEAN MONITORING STATEMENT 17

COMMITTEE (EMC)

The EMC Chair – Eli HAUGERUD

considering the decrease of the awarded Engineering Cards
and the countries issuing them, it has been decided to keep
the Engineering Card and EUR ING separated and to rather
focus on improving the value of the latter, the possibility of
introducing a validity period and the demonstration of CPD
and by assessing learning outcomes. This ongoing work on
the EUR ING criteria is closely linked with the challenge, long
discussed in the EMC, to revise the EUR ING special cases
and to evolve towards competence-based assessment. The
CALOHEE project, in which FEANI is an associated partner,
has also been of long interest to the EMC, who supported
FEANI’s involvement in its different phases. The TUNING
CALOHEE framework could also be a valuable reference in
the revision of the EUR ING title. The EMC will from now
on send representatives to the CALOHEE project meetings.
Another important task endorsed by the EMC these past two
years was to ensure the updating of the new EEED since the
convergence of the FEANI Index and the EUR ACE database,
in order to have a tool as complete as possible, considering
that it represents a unique selling point for FEANI. The EMC
has also considered and supported the Engineers for Europe
etween 2018 and 2019, the European Monitoring project, initiated by FEANI and submitted to the European
BCommittee (EMC) has regularly met three times a year in Commission under the Erasmus + program. The EMC will take
different countries in Europe. It has awarded 207 EUR ING in an active part in designing and implementing new innovative
2018 and 232 in 2019, in a quite stable trend. During the past tools to better connect the world of academia and the world
two years, the EMC has addressed several topics of great of work in the engineering field. Overall, the Committee has
relevance for its activities. There has been a long discussion investigated new potential paths to improve the value of the
on whether the three FEANI products – the EUR ING title, the FEANI products and initiate new collaborations with external
Engineering Card and the European Engineering Education partners. In the coming years, the EMC will pursue its activ-
Database (EEED) – should be brought together. However, ities with the same prospect for openness and progress. 
