Prof. XXX (Engineer)
I agree with all the comments so far, but as the point of the list is to show that some of the lecturers are architects, and other engineers or whatever, if you remove that detail the list loses some of its purpose.
Also, in this part of the world people tend to be quite title sensitive, and it does no harm to "promote" then a bit, unless you are quite sure they are just lecturers. Hence my suggested solution.

: Probably a good compromise. I am an architect myself. Here in the US, we might add RA (Registered Architect) or AIA (American Institute of Architects) or PE (Professional Engineer), after our names, but only if we have indeed passed the necessary exams.

Prof.
Since engineers and architects are "Mr." in English, and since being a professor is considered higher up the ladder, I would suggest you simply forget about the "Ing." part. His degree no doubt appears elsewhere in the document.

I have re-read your question. Even if there is no other reference to his being an engineer, we simply do not have an English equivalent. My husband was an engineer, an architect, and a professor (in Brazil). In the U.S. he was almost always referred to as 'Mr.'.

: Yes, just Prof. for US English. In the UK, probably nothing at all, not even "Mr", though if his degree is known it could be added here to compensate for the loss of the title. Of course if he has a doctorate, then "Dr" (in UK), but he presumably doesn't.

"232.5 Foreign titles in English. There is no English equivalent of the Spanish title Arq. (Arquitecto), Ing. (Ingeniero), or Lic. (Licenciado). The correct title in English for a person with the corresponding degree is Mr. or Ms. (see also par. 144.5)" (The Spanish words and abbreviations are displayed in italics.)
As a more general comment, I would be wary of the term 'Professor' in academic circles. A ‘catedrático’ would be a full blown Professor of an academic dept. while a ‘profesor’(in Spanish) is more likely to be university lecturer or school teacher.
