Can IET Offer back charted mechanical/electrical/manufacturing engineering?
Former Community Member
I remember IEE time, the Institute offered its member Chartered Electrical Engineer, I think this is good since The IET is a multi-disciplines organization, people outside don't know our specialist. If IET can offer Chartered Electrical/ Electronics/ Manufacturing/ Mechanical Engineer titles would be good for us to let people know our discipline. Now either people still think of us as Electrical Engineer or nothing, don't know us. I met people who are engineers who either assume I am Electrical Engineer or don't know my discipline. I always need to explain. I have experience in a job interview asking me that you are not an Electrical Engineer why you join IET, not I Mech E? If we can have a Chartered XXXX Engineer then no need to explain.
With the IET accepting all disciplines of engineers - you are right it won’t be assumed you are an Electrical Engineer which is a shame because that means us sparkies have no individual representation in the PEIs - the only discipline in that position - good? I don’t think so.
