For years, there have been two ways to qualify. First is proof of a relevant, accredited engineering degree at the right level: BSc for IEng, MSc for CEng. Second is completing a technica report, 8,000-10,000 words that dive deep into engineering knowledge.However, neither takes into account an applicant's experience gained through work. As Society professional standards manager Robin Bates observes: "You shouldn't have to ask company directors to have to prove their knowledge by doing a technical report."A third option is now available for lEng and CEng. This so-called 'experiential route' requires applicants to map their on-the-job experience over the last five years, in an engineering context, against a set of standard learning outcomes. Although definitely not the easy option, its report is shorter: a maximum of 500 words are required for self-reflective statements in each of six different learning categories (3,000 words in total, plus up to eight pages of supporting evidence in an appendix). Costs are the same: £250 for the initial application, then £150 for lEng or £250 for CEng at the interview stage. |
