Becoming a Chartered Engineer
Chartered Engineers (CEng) develop appropriate solutions to engineering problems, using new or existing technologies, through innovation, creativity and change. They promote advanced designs and design methods, introduce new and more efficient production techniques, marketing and construction concepts and pioneer new engineering services and management methods. If you have suitable qualifications you can apply using the "Standard Route", if not you may still be able to apply by the"Alternative Route" which involves submitting an additional Technical Report showing that you are working at a suitable level.
- Note: Qualifications must either be accredited or subject to an international recognition agreement. Exemplifying qualifications include integrated MEng degree; Bachelors degree with honours in engineering or technology, plus either an appropriate Master degree or Engineering Doctorate (EngD) accredited by a licensed professional engineering institution, or appropriate further learning to Masters level; Bachelors degree with honours in engineering or technology, started prior to Sept 1999; International agreement (Washington Accord) overseas qualifications; European qualifications recognised under FEANI; Engineering Council Examinations (up to 2011).
