I can't disagree, the Engineering Council are clear the competencies of CEng subsum those of IEng. My general point is that IEng has become an irrelevance. You can 'goggle' rare and limited examples of where IEng is stipulated in job adverts (typically when a junior engineer is being recruited), but in the real world the 'incorporated engineer' category of professional registration is rarely seen as full professional . At the moment the number of incorporated engineers of working age (or not approaching retirement) is in the 5,000 to 10,000 figure. Perhaps much less than 1% of those in the UK who are operating in a technical field who could register.
