The Engineering Council (EC) is the UK regulatory body for the engineering profession. Its Engineering Accreditation Board (AB) is made up of all the professional engineering institutions that are licensed by the Engineering Council to accredit academic programs for both Chartered Engineer and Incorporated Engineer status. The aim of EAB is to encourage consistent accreditation processes and practices as well as to provide a single point of contact to facilitate joint accreditation visits, where appropriate, for member PEIs.

The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers promotes the professional standing, interests and technical standards of local engineers across a broad spectrum of engineering specialisations. HKIE has developed accreditation criteria for engineering degree, higher diploma, and computer science programmes. Programs are accredited for a period up to five years.
