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 title of the thread as set out by the OP indicated their understanding that the EC database showed that their MEng degree was accredited by three PEIs  (IMechE. RAeS, and IEE); and this meant that the IET (their preferred choice) wasn't included; and therefore asked if they needed to join the IMechE or RAeS (since the IEE nolonger existed) to register as CEng? The answer is no. They can register through the IET as it is responsible for all of the previous IEE administrative decisions made, including degree accreditation. If the EC database were amended to replace IEE with IET, then other engineers who find themselves in a similar situation to the OP, won't have to go through the same situation, unless of course experienced members here prefer to be asked such questions on a repeated occurrence, perhaps in order to keep their minds active?


    With regards to EC wide accreditation, they should clarify this on their website so that potential registration candidates have a clear understanding of the opportunities available to them.
