EUR ING Application via 5.4b Special Cases

Hi All,

I had read through the EUR ING application guide and found on section 5.4b Special Cases as below:

"There are cases where the professional engineering performance required for registration has been developed on the basis of a type of education not covered by 5.3 and 5.4a). This case also applies for applicants whose education took place in the FEANI area (=FEANI member countries) but with programmes that are not listed in the FEANI INDEX. Nevertheless it is possible to consider such alternative routes. Very strict procedures, however, have then to be followed, (see 7.1), and the applicant must have at least 15 years of Professional Engineering Experience recognized by FEANI: 15E"

https://www.feani.org/sites/default/files/Guide_to_the_Register_FINAL_approved_GA_2013.pdf

Based on the above, possible for an IEng with more than 15 years of professional engineering experience to apply for this route? If yes, why EC / IET never promote this route for senior IEng?

Like to hear other opinion regarding this?

Thanks,

Parents

My opinion the 5.4b Special Cases can be used for CEngs who achieved the registration via Experienced professional, Mature rout etc.

So far it is communicated that Eur Ing registration via EC UK national member of FEANI is only for CEng.

In my opinion, IEng, as defined today in UK SPEC, is not equal to CEng and such a move can be seen as bypassing CEng and eventually equate both registration levels.

Some IEng's may have a degree that qualifies for a standard route in FEANI but they can't apply via UK member because their registration level is not of the CEng and at that time so until they become CEng under EC UK SPEC standard. I think internationally like it or not it seems like a technologist applying for Eur Ing.

IEng is a registered Engineer in the UK but internationally it's viewed/equated to Registered Engineering Technologist or an Associate Engineer.

I think officially there is no Senior IEng or Senior CEng, no such standard.

A case can be made for IEng FIET. Maybe this can have weight?
