2. International engineers
Differences with licensing process internationally
US – PE, regulated by state, but no cross-state transferability
Latin America - Ing. based on studies, in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Uruguay, Venezuela.
Africa - Pr.Eng. in South Africa for engineers holding a B.Eng., B.Sc. or B.Sc.Eng. plus experience
Asia
C.Eng in India Institution of Engineering under Royal Charter
P.E.Jp in Japan
Engineer in Pakistan
IR in Malaysia
MHKIE for qualified professional engineer members of the Hong Kong Institute of Engineers
Singapore just introduced C.Eng
Oceania - CPEng in Australia and New Zealand

3. International engineers
Differences with licensing process internationally
Europe – Many countries have no formal regulation or registration of “engineering” – it comes with a job description.
Europe - EurIng (European Engineer) and Ing.P.Eur (European Professional Engineer)
UK - CEng (Chartered Engineer) and IEng (Incorporated Engineer). May also carry post- nominal letters specific to their specialist engineering institute (MRAeS, MIET, …). Regulated by discipline-specific professional body, then licenced by ECUK. Not compulsory
Germany - Dipl.-Ing. and Ing. based on degree.
Italy - Ing. (Master's degree) or Ing.jr (Bachelor's). A state exam is required.
Norway - Siv. Ing. (Sivilingeniør, M.Sc) and ing. (Høyskoleingeniør, B.Sc). The title is used by persons holding degrees from accredited engineering colleges and universities.
Sweden - Civ. Ing. (for engineers holding a Master's degree in Engineering)
Romania - Ing.
Czechia - Ing. for engineers holding a Master's degree

4. International mobility
The Engineers Mobility Forum (EMF) agreed between the Washington Accord signatories aims to explore mutual recognition for experienced engineers.
The Washington Accord recognizes equivalence of engineering academic programs by each signatory organization.
The EMF has resulted in an International Register of Professional Engineers, which is intended to be used as a secure benchmark for arrangements which provide mutual recognition or exemption and/or streamline access by professional engineers to licensing or registration in economies other than that in which they first gained recognition.

5. International mobility
The 14 signatories are Australia, Canada, Hong Kong (China), Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, United States of America, Chinese Taipei, Russia and Singapore.
The signatories agreed to create and maintain a decentralised EMF International Engineer Register and to grant entry to that Register only to those practitioners who can demonstrate that they have:
Reached a level of academic achievement substantial equivalent to the terms of the Washington Accord;
Been assessed within their own economy as eligible for independent practice; and
Gained a minimum seven years practical experience since graduation; and
Spent at least two years in charge of significant engineering work; and
Maintained their continuing professional development at a satisfactory level.

6. International mobility
Applicants must agree to be bound by the codes of professional conduct established and enforced by each economy within which they are practicing. Such codes normally require that practitioners place the health, safety and welfare of the community above their responsibilities to clients and colleagues, practice only within their fields of competence, and advise their clients if and when additional professional assistance becomes necessary to implement a programme or project.
Applicants must further agree to be held individually accountable for their actions, both through requirements imposed by the licensing or registering authorities in the economies in which they practise and through legal processes. By applying for registration, applicants authorise the signatory organisations to exchange such personal and other data as may be necessary to ensure that the application of a sanction or penalty in any economy in which an engineer is registered or licensed to practice will be taken into account in deciding upon their continued designation and will be appropriately recorded in the Register.
Use of the IntPE title may be restricted in some countries for legal reasons. International Registrants are required to comply with domestic laws and should use the title in accordance with any restrictions or requirements to which nationals of the host country must submit.
