My degree hasn't been accredited by IET have I joined the wrong Institution?

Former Community Member

I am looking to start applying for CEng and joined the IET as my work place is advising on this institution. But when I searched for my MEng degree it doesn't appear to have been accredited by IET. However other institutions IMechE, RAeS and IEE have accredited it for CEng.

Does this mean that I need to leave IET and join on of these three institutions instead?


Finally I am confused on what exemplifying qualification means. In the UK SPEC, the competency and commitment for CEng A to E. Does the MEng exemplify an applicant from any of these or does it just give you the ability to simply apply?


Thanks

    The IET used to be IEE, so any IEE accreditation was before 2006. The IET values all degrees from reputable universities throughout the world. When assessing for professional registration (eg CEng), any degree accredited by an Engineering Council licensed institution is treated in the same way.

    Academic Accreditation shows a strong relationship, between professional institution (s) and the course. This provides any prospective student greater confidence about the content and is also an additional quality assurance mechanism.   

    An accredited MEng removes the need for any additional assessment of underpinning knowledge and understanding when applying for CEng. Competence is demonstrated in the workplace. This can include within an academic environment, because some engineers pursue academic type careers.
