Applying for Incorporated Engineer?

It is an important career milestone for engineers, scientists and technologists. Additionally it represents the achievement of professionalism and technical competence and is highly valued by industry.

Incorporated Engineers maintain and manage applications of current and developing technology, and may undertake engineering design, development, manufacture, construction and operation. They are involved in technical and commercial management and possess effective interpersonal skills.

What are the benefits of professional registration?

Higher earning potential, better employment prospects and career mobility

Acknowledgement of professional standing by peers and colleagues

Access to a vast network of qualified professionals in your area of expertise, making sure you are up to date on the latest developments

Recognition by employers of your internationally renowned professional standard.

What do I need to do next?

Education

You need an accredited Bachelors degree in engineering or technology, or a Higher National Certificate or Diploma or a Foundation Degree in engineering or technology, plus suitable further learning to degree level.

Applicants who do not have qualifications to show the necessary knowledge and understanding may do so in other ways, but must clearly demonstrate they have acquired the same level of knowledge and understanding as those with the qualifications.

Professional Development

A significant number of employers have graduate training programmes developed specifically to facilitate progression from graduate engineer or technologist to registration as an Incorporated Engineer.

However, applicants in organisations that do not have accredited training schemes will need to prepare evidence of competence and professional activity. If this is you, then seek guidance from your professional engineering institution.

Professional Review

Applicants seeking to register as Chartered Engineers or Incorporated Engineers must have their competence assessed by a professional engineering institution licensed by the Engineering Council UK (ECuk).

Applications must comply with the requirements of your professional engineering institution. Claim of qualifications, experience or training will need to be supported by formal documentation.
