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

Former Community Member over 3 years ago

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,

It's only a simple matter about an administrative anomaly found on the EC database with regard to IEE accreditation of degrees.

When the IEE changed its name to the IET, all MIEE, FIEE,and HonFIEE - as well as MIIE, FIIE, and HonFIIE - transferred over to MIET, FIET, and HonFIET respectively. In addition responsibility for degree accreditation and EC registration under the IEE (and IIE) as well as the annual payment of membership and EC registration fees would have transferred over to the IET. In another words, Andy Millar's degree accreditation and CEng registration can be traced back to the IET, (and not the IEE). I know that to be true, because he (or his company) pays his membership and CEng subscription directly to the IET (and not the IEE).

The only thing that requires change is to the EC database to reflect the fact that the IET, (and not the IEE) is the responsible administrative body for degree accreditation and CEng registration by the former IEE (and IIE), as well as under the IET.

Amending to 'IET (formally IEE)' simply provides traceability back to the IET (and not the IEE) for degree accreditation, and CEng registration. You cannot have a non-existent body (IEE) stated as the responsible body for accreditation, because then traceability is broken.
