ENAEE was founded on 8 February 2006, at the end of the first EUR-ACE® project, by 14 European Associations concerned with engineering education.

It stemmed from ESOEPE, the “European Standing Observatory for the Engineering Profession and Education”, that had been established on 9 September 2000 with the purposes of:

  • building confidence in systems of accreditation of engineering degree programmes within Europe
  • facilitating exchange of information
  • developing voluntary agreements on accreditation of engineering educational programmes and recognition of engineering qualifications and
  • the development of standards for competency requirements of graduate engineers.

Members of ENAEE are agencies and professional organisations with an interest in the education and formation of engineering professionals.
