Gaining IEng or CEng status is just as straightforward for engineers who are teachers or researchers in HE as it is for an engineer working in industry.  Evidence of competence can be provided in many ways, such as course development, involvement in research, managing research projects, an industrial placement, working independently on consultancy or voluntary engineering work.

To help spread this news to engineers working in academia, the Engineering Council has worked with HE and FE staff and the Engineering Professor's Council (EPC) to produce a leaflet, outlining the ways in which this group can achieve professional recognition and explaining the benefits it will provide.  A downloadable version of the leaflet is available from:  http://bit.ly/d4c6PX or in hard copy from info@engc.org.uk
