ARE CENG AND IENG EQUAL IN STATUS

John,


I was IEng and later became CEng.

I'm well familiar with the info you provided. 

In my view the better designation is Engineer Technologist and I view IEng as such.  I was proud to be IEng and felt great achievement to be registered as such.

From my observation for very long time, the HNC, HND was the starting credential for the Engineers in UK. Even today I see that some positions for Engineer start at HNC/HND.

As to how IEng is equated overseas then in Ireland its an Associate Engineer, In Germany its State-certified Technician/Engineer, In Australia Engineering Technologist etc etc.

I think what is written and the actual treatment in the industry is different.
