Is IET suitable for Mechanical Engineers?

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
I have a friend who has a BEng(Hons) and MSc in Mechanical Engineering.

I told him IET may suit him.

He told me IET is for Electrical Engineers.

I told him IET is Institution of Engineering and Technology, IET is multi-disciplines.

He still not believe it.

What should I tell him?

    That is a good tease!  Each PEI is independent, and I think each is a charity accountable to the England and Scotland Charity Commissions.  They come together in Engineering Council to agree joint policies and issues.  The PEIs do collaborate, to varying extents, in areas of mutual interest, but I am afraid that we have a long way to go to achieve a single PEI.


    The IET and IMechE, for instance, work very closely together on education 5-19 programmes.  And, the PEIs are working together with the Royal Academy of Engineering on developing advice to the UK government where solutions are needed to minimise the impact of Brexit on the scientific and engineering environment.


    So, collaboration is the approach for the time being, as far as I can see!


    On including scientists, some PEIs have done that (IMarEST - the Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology) have diversified to include scientists (including being licensed to award Chartered Scientist, etc), but the IET has not, as far as I know, followed suit, yet.  Scientists are, of course, welcoem to join the IET as I think some have, for the benefits of our wide range of technical networks and activities.
