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

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

    Hi Roy,


    My degree shows on the current link (under Mehmood's post above) as accredited by the IEE. I assume that if a degree programme ceased to exist before the IET was created then that's all the EC can show as the accreditation. So it's quite likely the OP is in the same position.




    The History of the IET shows that it was established in 1871. But in 1871 they were established as 'The Society of Telegraph Engineers'. So therefore the IET has 'taken responsibility' for its history dating back to 1871, and that includes the existence of the former IEE. Any degrees that were accredited by the former IEE, should therefore be recognised as being accredited by the IET without any question.
