CEng or IEng - which is more prestigious?

Simon Rollason

I have just received my renewal subscription notice.  I noticed that CEng fees to the Engineering Council are £45.91 and that those for an IEng are £38.96 pa.  

I thought that the whole idea of IEng was that it was to give recognition to IEng that they were of an equivalent rank as CEng, but worked in a different sphere to CEng - equal but different.  The Engineering Council's discount rate of £7 pa seems to indicate that an IEng is ~85% the worth of the CEng.  

Any thoughts?

    In the office where I work, you can't move for tripping over CEng's.  They are everywhere.  I like to think that IEng is a much more exclusive club.

    But in reality, when you look at the requirements in UKSPEC, there's an obvious progression from EngTech to IEng to CEng.  So most people don't even bother with the lesser IEng, and apply straight to CEng.  The whole "equal but different" is meaningless really.
