    In October 2014 the Federation of European engineering associations joined and Ukraine. Today FEANI implements three areas of accreditation of engineering specialties and certification of professional engineers:
- FEANI INDEX, ie for engineering programs (majors) that meet the standards of education; accredited or officially recognized at national level; with European standards and are recognized in the Union;
- Engineering Card («Passport" or "Card" engineer), each owner who introduced the common European register of FEANI, which is located in Brussels;
- EUR ING («European Engineer") - an honorary title for which the candidate should have a good engineering education, years of experience engineering research, analysis and design, as well as adhere to professional ethics.
    Consideration of these two areas were devoted separate sessions of the international seminar - "European passport engineer" and "European accreditation system engineering specialties."
