ARE CENG AND IENG EQUAL IN STATUS

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.

    Nouman,


    All have to meet Science councils specifications and competencies I call it UK Sci SPEC.

    I was registered as Registered Scientist. WHen I changed jobs my CPD was ore toward Engineering and less toward Sciense lab work so I resigned my registration as RSci.  
    Registered Science Technicians work in technical roles

    Registered Scientists can be found in a huge variety of scientific and higher technical roles

    Chartered Scientists represent the best professional scientists working in the UK and abroad. Leading teams and departments,   

    Going back to our discussion, WHen IEng qualification was recosidred the title Chatered Technologist was considered but Engineer prevailed. 
    During the period following relaunch of the Engineering Council in 2002, as EC(UK), there were a number of initiatives that bore on the understanding of the description, Incorporated Engineer. The original specification for UK-SPEC envisaged Chartered Engineering Technologist as a new title for Incorporated Engineers. However the proposal met with widespread opposition from existing Incorporated Engineers, who believed it indicated a watering down of their engineering competence. A working group was set up by the new Board to look further into the adoption of the term “technologist”. This responded to an initiative by the Institute of Marine Engineers10 to widen its role to cover scientists and technologists working in the maritime industries, and their decision to create a title “marine technologist”, aimed at those with an applied science background. The academic standard was set at masters degree level. It was therefore not directly related to the standing of Incorporated Engineer.
