The Pelinese All-Engineering Union (Stelossian: Пелинский Всеинженерский Союз, Pelinskiy Vseinzhenerskiy Soyuz), often referred to by its Stelossian language acronym PVIS, is a partially state-funded federation of Pelinese professional associations and research organizations in the fields of engineering and closely adjacent sciences. Its stated purpose is to facilitate academic research and the dissemination of technical knowledge in Pelinai, as well as to ensure the proper and orderly practice of engineering professions.
Significant activities of the PVIS include the coordination of activities and research-sharing between member organizations, the issuance of engineering certifications in Pelinai, the evaluation and accreditation of university engineering education programs, and the distribution of Pelinese state-funded grants provided for research and other purposes. Member organizations under the PVIS receive access to Union-held umbrella conferences, large amounts of taxpayer funding for research, publishing, and training activities, and other significant financial and prestige benefits in exchange for compliance with a battery of public access requirements and CPI-bound price caps on certain products and services.
The Pelinese All-Engineering Union is a member institution of the Pelograd Accord on mutual recognition of academic accreditation for engineering and engineering technology programs.

Activities
The primary tasks of the Pelinese All-Engineering Union are to distribute state research & other funding, to administer licensing for engineers working in Pelinai, to organize interdisciplinary activities between multiple professional associations, and to perform accreditation functions for Pelinese university courses in engineering disciplines. Beyond these core activities and its insurance of member organizations’ compliance with the requirements applied to state-funded professional bodies, the PVIS generally leaves functions such as the operation of professional and academic journals, the creation of technical standards, and the production of continuing education courses to the organizations under it.
Accreditation and certifications
The Pelinese All-Engineering Union is the Pelograd Accord-registered organization responsible for performing accreditation of university engineering courses offered by Pelinese universities and for managing Pelinai’s engineering licensure system. Within the framework and requirements set by the Accord, it manages content and academic rigor requirements for degree programs, the evaluation system for providing engineering licenses, and the continuing education requirements for maintaining an engineering license.
Conferences
Funding
One of the basic purposes of the Pelinese All-Engineering Union is to relay government-provided research and other educational funding from the Pelinese Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology to the many professional associations under it. PVIS members agree to a substantial number of conditions in exchange for this funding, primary including:
- Open access release of all research papers, technical reports, and other documents published by or through the professional association
- Open access release of all technical standards created and set by the professional association
- inflation-pegged price caps on certain services, such as continuing education courses
Publications
The Pelinese All-Engineering Union possesses its own publishing house, the All-Pelinese Engineering Press, which is responsible for publishing and printing materials produced by both the PVIS and its member associations: this primarily includes engineering textbooks & reference books, technical reports & position papers, engineering case studies, and printed copies of PVIS-affiliated academic journals & conference proceedings, as well as various other types of miscellaneous materials. It also prints the professional magazine Pelinese Engineer, which covers technical advances, regulations & standards, business climate changes, and other topics relevant to engineers in Pelinai.
