Accreditation
Chartered Engineer CEng is the highest professional qualification for engineers. The qualification process to become a professional Chartered Engineer has three stages:- Stage 1: The Educational Base (MEng, or BEng with MSc);
- Stage 2: Initial Professional Development and
- Stage 3: a Professional Review.
Degree programmes can be ‘accredited’ by a professional institution. This means that all graduates from such programmes are accepted, automatically, as having satisfied the educational base in the qualification process.
Educational Base
For a Chartered Engineer the benchmark academic qualification (educational
base) is an accredited degree of Master of Engineering, MEng. Those graduates
with an accredited BEng degree can satisfy the academic
base through an approved
or accredited MSc, or other further learning such as part of a structured training
programme in the workplace.
If you obtain a qualification that is not ‘accredited’ then you have to make an individual application to an engineering institution to see if the qualification can be ‘approved’ as meeting the minimum professional requirements. This process normally involves a fee payment. If the qualification is not approved then you will have to seek out and obtain further learning.
