What is Fellowship?

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.

Ian, this question applies to both registration & fellowship, we are often told we are assessed by our peers, but when this is queried, things go very quiet. Who determines an appropriate match to a particular applicant, and upon what basis? From my own experience I do have concerns in this area.

they will be assessed by their peers and we have well over a hundred trained Fellow assessors drawn from all aspects of engineering to ensure a reasonable match
