Facts at your fingertips
The Ordem dos Engenheiros (OE) is the professional association of all Portuguese engineers. It has 31,700 members. It is the successor of the Association of Civil Engineers which had been founded in 1869. Legally it is a not-for-profit association.
The members are those who have obtained an engineering degree in a
five-year university course that has been approved by OE. The OE also
gives other qualification titles (senior, specialist, etc.) to its
members, according to their experience. Awarding these titles is
performed by internal technical groups of OE.
The organisation of the Ordem dos Engenheiros comprises a national
council and several regional representations including the islands of
Madeira and Azores.
The OE is also divided into colleges according to the engineers’
specialisation. The Civil Engineering College represents around 40% of
the total members of OE. The participation of OE in the ECCE is
performed by the Civil Engineering college.
The activities of OE include the evaluation of the university courses,
activity in preparation of legislation related to engineering,
organisation of scientific and cultural activities, consultant
activities related to professional and technical problems, etc.
The OE has also a department (Caixa de Previdência) to provide social
and medical help to its members.
The Civil Engineers activities in Portugal are connected with the
Ministers of Public Works, Housing and Environment.
