Honorary Fellowship

Mark Curtiz
That William Adams (a.k.a Will.i.am) was made an Honorary Fellow for his outstanding contributions to engineering is fantastic - it also intrigued me as to the process involved. Does anyone know?

And I also wondered why the process is not invoked more often to reflect the contribution of the many noteworthy individuals - for example people like Elon Musk whose contributions to engineering and technology are very visible and exceptionally impressive. Is there a nominations process?

    I have to agree with Roy's view regarding casual snobbery,

    As I have discovered this would probably include the a majority of older Incorporated Engineers.  My experience of the wider Engineering Council family is that if you are not a Chartered Engineer then you are considered  "inferior".  This manifests itself in casual snobbery, but is also institutionalised in many other ways.

    On the Engineering Council website there is a press release with a list of registrants recognised in the 2018 New Years Honours List. All are chartered engineers. I thought is a bit odd as in other professions or walks of life people receive honours at all levels. A little googling and up pops some registered engineers below CEng who received honours but are not included on the Engineering Council press release!
