A very interesting discussion on professional qualifications and titles.
The recognition of professional qualifications in different countries is rather completed and I will not comment on that.
However the CEng ,IEng and Eng Tech professional qualifications are granted if the candidate meets the requirements (have gained the competencies) specified in the UKSPEC (the Engineering Council standard for professional registration). Although the academic qualifications are relevant to the registration level, they are not the deciding factor. Even if somebody is in a possession of an MEng or even a Phd and is working as a technician the competencies gained can help in registration to Eng Tech category. On the contrary if he/she works as an engineer, according to the competencies gained can either register as CEng or IEng.
