ARE CENG AND IENG EQUAL IN STATUS

There are dedicated PEI's " Home" for different fields of Engineering.

Mechanical Engineers have their Institution, IT has their BCS, Water Engineers have theirs etc.

Whats left for Electrical and Electronics Engineers? IET. So no surprise that majority of EE's are IET members.


The IIE was generic for all fields. Now IET is generic for all fields.  

Its inclusive for Engineers who have multiple specializations or one. So in this aspect it mimics or continues the approach of IIE.


I don't think there is any kind of issue with P.E recognition of CEng.

The confusion is usually due to the international agreements that are focused on the education the degree and not the level of registration.

If a person immigrates from UK to USA and they have EngC accredited (IET or similar) Engineering degree then usually based on Washington Accord and their experience most of the US States will allow that person to take FE and PE exams to get registered as Licensed P.E in USA.

That person can be I.Eng, CEng or unregistered in UK.

Same for Canada if you have appropriate Engineering degree you can take exams do additional requirements such as a year under P.Eng and get your P.Eng in Canada.

IET has agreements with Australia Engineers as well.

Again if you read the requirements the important part will be the degree.
