One of the most important steps on Europe's way into the next century is the realization of the European Single Market. In order to become successful, companies will increasingly need mobile, flexible, responsible engineers, who are excellent in their fields, who think on a European scale and who can operate in a different Member State. Due to the differences in educational and professional systems in Europe the mobility of university graduates from one European country to another is rather low. In order to achieve a non‐restrictive labour market for Engineers throughout Europe a system of minimum standards for mutual recognition of university diplomas has been established. The European dimension in engineering education must be given increased attention.
