EUR ING Application via 5.4b Special Cases

YungYaw Lai
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

    As this is an engineering and technology forum, I thought I would just "throw a provebial spanner in the works", and see what your reactions are?


    1. For those who are registered - CEng and IEng, but especially IEng - members:


    Do you believe that you are as well as, if not, more educated, and competent as engineers today then your teachers and lecturers were, even if they were CEng?


    2. Holding onto those thoughts above: 


    Do you think that the people (assuming they're engineers) who draw up the rules and regulations, that make up the EC UK Spec; FEANI EUR ING; PEng; IntPE; and all the other engineering qualifications available; are more educated and/or clever than you are, such that they can dictate what you represent as an engineer?


    3. Do you desire recognition so much that you seek approval from superiors (if they exist at all), who must be so much more educated, experienced, and clever or intelligent than you; that you welcome being compartmentalised or pigeon holed into their categorised titles of CEng, IEng, Eur Ing, etc.


    4. Have you considered that you might be just as well (or more) clever, educated, and experienced enough to represent yourself, without asking for approval from others, and their rules and regulations?


    Apologies if I have repeated myself.
