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.

Thanks Roy for your latest comments and attachment to find the "Engineering 2016 report".

I started to read the introduction, but I could'nt hold my curiousity and jumped right to the" Executive summary and conclusions".

Many engineering reports have been produced during my memberships of the IMechIE, IIE and the IET and didn't surprise me to find after many years, some things have'nt changed since the following reports:-

- 2 DTI'S -ACTION FOR ENGINEERING INITIATIVE-1999 AND CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE ENGINEERING"-1997.

Reports from the Engineering Council namely, THE FAIRCLOUGH STUDY, ENGINEERING INTO THE MILLENIUM - 1992-1993,

THE ENGINEERING PROFESSION - 1999-2000 by Sir James Hamilton, and I also point out that Prof. UFF referred to the FINNISTON REPORT-1980 and the SAINSBURY REPORT-2001 which had followed on a year after the HAWLEY REVIEW- 1999-2000.

In point (17) of the Executive summary Prof. Uff states, "The system is still hampered by much historical baggage, not least of which is the dichotomy between university courses and employment based or apprenticeship training, a dichotomy still attended by ill-informed prejudice and snobbery, despite many of the most influential members of the profession having qualified by the latter route. It needs to be recognised that engineering requires a combination of theoretical knowledge and its practical application, coupled with many other skills."

Three cheers for that conclusion. And I also note that the CEng/IEng is once again discussed.
