IEng should be only for Technology Graduates whereas CEng should be only for Engineering Graduates. UK should allocate their titles IEng and CEng according to the discipline and should declare them at par.
Gentlemen, do you agree with me or not........ Thank you.
That would be very strange. An Incorporated Engineer would be a technologist, while a Chartered Engineer would be an engineer.
It would make more sense to bring in something like CTech for technologists.
But all this is quibbling about terminology that is not even consistent between countries. In the UK, the term "engineer" has never been protected, and is used by almost anyone who designs, makes or fixes things (unless those things are big and oily, in which case they are a mechanic). Meanwhile, "technologist" isn't widely used, but would mean someone who deals with technology.
So someone who designs bridges isn't really a technologist, but someone who designs digital cameras could be.
