Incorporated Engineer (IEng)

Incorporated Engineers (IEng) maintain and manage applications of current and developing technology, and may undertake engineering design, development, manufacture, construction and operation.

Incorporated Engineers are able to demonstrate:

• The theoretical knowledge to solve problems in developed technologies using well proven analytical techniques
• Successful application of their knowledge to deliver engineering projects or services using established technologies and methods
• Responsibility for project and financial planning and management together with some responsibility for leading and developing other professional staff
• Effective interpersonal skills in communicating technical matters
• Commitment to professional engineering values

If this sounds like you then you deserve to see your professionalism recognised by gaining the IEng title.

Eligibility for IEng

The IEng title is open to anyone who can demonstrate the required professional competences and commitment, as set out in the professional standard UK-SPEC. Individuals generally develop this through education and working experience.

The application process for IEng registration is more straightforward for those with exemplifying academic qualifications.

For IEng this is one of the following:

• An accredited Bachelors or honours degree in engineering or technology
• An accredited HNC or HND in engineering or technology (for programmes started before Sept 1999)
• An HNC or HND started after Sept 1999 (but before Sept 2010 in the case of the HNC) or a Foundation Degree in engineering or technology, plus appropriate further learning to degree level
• An NVQ4 or SVQ4 that has been approved for the purpose by a licensed engineering institution, plus appropriate further learning to degree level
  • See www.qaa.ac.uk for HE reference points

Please note:

• Applicants holding the exemplifying qualifications are automatically eligible for Interim Registration
• To check whether your academic qualification is accredited for IEng please, visit our Course Search
• You can still become an IEng without these academic qualifications. Further information about the individual, work-based, assessment process can be found in UK-SPEC and from your Licensed PEI
