ARE CENG AND IENG EQUAL IN STATUS

Nouman,


The underlying degree is only partial requirement. I seen Technology degrees that have same classes as Engineering degrees issued by Technical Universities, not overlap but basically the name of degree is different but classes are the same.

And I seen Technology oriented degrees that are more applied with overlap but different in some upper division classes as well, some had applied calculus 1 and 2 etc.

This is why a lot of times the supplement / transcript is provided with the degree certificate/diploma.

I actually earned a degree called Bachelors of Electronics Engineering Technology.  Early in my career I worked as a technician, technologist and engineer.

Last 26 years as engineer, senior engineer, lead engineer, principal engineer, consulting engineer etc etc.  So the competencies for last 20 years are of the person who did engineers job even if the degree is of the technologist.  There is overlap.  So I changed (in my view progressed)  from IEng to CEng only 3+ years ego. My piers at EngC PEI recognized that I meet the UKSPEC for CEng.

The second part is what is the function and how the competencies match UK SPEC.

I have a coworker who is really good as an Engineer but his degree is in Music.  


I clearly understand your point, to make a Technologist its own vertical, just like Chartered Accountant, Chartered Engineer you also propose to have equal in standing Chartered Technologist for people who earned Masters in Technology degree. This can be also MScIT or other technologies.
