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

    Same for me, where possible (employers have differing policies on this) I just put CEng CMgr - I suppose because I see these as my current registration levels (and therefore relevant to readers), whereas my other post nominals are mostly either degrees I picked up several years ago, so not necessarily relevant any more, or institution memberships which I’m eligible for through having a degree so ditto! I am quite proud of my MIRSE, as that’s rather harder to get, but it either wouldn’t be relevant to readers or they’d assume I’d have it anyway.


     I think it is worth getting this right, too many post nominals on a card looks like arrogance, but I also thought it was daft when a previous employer refused to let us put any on our cards - that seems like trying to reduce everyone down to the lowest level, and anyway (as I pointed out) was silly given that they paid our membership fees so that they could say their engineers were registered!


    Mind you, how many people use business cards anyway now? I mostly just swap LinkedIn details.


    Cheers,


    Andy
