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 declared 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; as such, degrees awarded by PVIS-accredited programs retain their full validity in other signatory countries.
