Can we say that the CEng and IEng be considered equal titles in professional status or IEng is inferior than CEng.
As the Application Form for both CEng and IEng is same.
Couldn't agree more with you Moshe.
I was part of a 4 man team selected in 2007 by OACETT here in Ontario and approved by the CTAB (Canadian Technology Accreditation Board) to visit a local Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning for accessment of their Mechanical Engineering Technician and Technology (Design and Drafting) Curriculum profiles in order for them to gain national accreditation.
I obviously was very interested in their curriculum profile and facilities compared to that which I had taken while studying for ONC /HNC and was nicely surprised with what I saw of their facilities and also after comparing the program course material with CTAB requirements.
The CTAB Technolgy profile in 2007 for Engineering Technologist was as follows:-
"Technologists are innovative thinkers and creative problem-solvers, with broad understanding of the principles underlying their respective disciplines, and aptitude for mathematics, engineering and scientific principles. They are required to exercise independent judgement and take responsibiliy for their work."
A technologist may be called upon to undertake a varity of duties, including:
* designing equipment, process and systems.
* preparing specifications, technical drawings or instructions.
* specifying and conducting tests.
* troubleshooting complex equipment.
* evaluating data and preparing estimates
* devoloping protypes and operating pilot plants.
* resolving production or construction problems.
* managing projects, recommending and planning activities.
* supervising, training and administration.
* estimating and diagnostic evaluation.
The description of the Technologist and their possible duties here in Canada appear quite substantial, however, in my opinion ,many of the described duties over the years, have been claimed by the Professional Engineers (PEng's) in major companies, but still may be performed by Technologists under the supervision of PEng's in small and medium sized companies.
