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.

    Hi Suha,

    This is rather an old thread - the previous post which you are responding to is from 2016. Regarding becoming a Fellow, there is information at https://www.theiet.org/membership/types/fiet/ which may help you, but I would suggest that if you think you need guidance there is a good chance you are not yet ready to be a fellow. But I have to ask also, are you a member, as your profile doesn't seem to indicate that you are. Details on becoming a member are at https://www.theiet.org/membership/types/designatory-letters/

    If you have specific questions I am sure you will be able to get answers but remember that people are only posting answers here in their spare time and do not have enough of that to give a lengthy description/guidance.
