What is Fellowship?

Alex Barrett
I'm not sure which forum this belongs in, this seems to be the closest?


A question, what is Fellowship in the context of the IET? Is it the recognition by the profession of somebody who stands out in their field, their profession and in general as an engineer and character? Or is it just a "supersize" membership.

As the only route to Fellowship of the IET seems to be by applying on your own behalf, it looks like the latter. There doesn't seem to be any scope for recognising those engineers who really do stand out, but aren't self-seeking enough to look for recognition. I know personally some engineers who in my opinion are natural Fellows but would never put themselves forward for this recognition.

    There is a category of Hon Fellows. They are invited by IET.

    Honorary Fellows are elected by the IET Board of Trustees. Honorary Fellows are:   



    • Persons distinguished by their work in any engineering discipline falling within the objects and purposes of the IET, or

       

    • Distinguished individuals whom the IET desires to honour for services rendered to the IET or whose association is of benefit to the IET.

    Ordinary fellowship application will be evaluated based on your last 5 years significant development in your career.


    For senior members that may be a problem.
