Can anyone explain why people still use these. If you moved over to IET from IEE can you still use these. I see it all the time and I wonder why they do not use MIET and FIET
And many members at the time were very grumpy about the IEE changing it's name (for all the reasons above, but also because they didn't feel consulted - long story), and keeping the old letters could be a bit of minor protest. Like our Uni lecturer from the north-east who always insisted that he came from County Durham, not from Tyne and Wear, and refused to put T&W in his address.
And, more practically, because hardly anyone outside the profession knows what the IET is, a few know (or can at least work out) what the IEE is.
Personally the only time I still refer to it as the IEE when I'm talking to my mother about it!
