What is a Chartered Engineer (CEng)?

Chartered Engineers (CEng) develop solutions to engineering problems using new or existing technologies, through innovation, creativity, and change, and/or they may have technical accountability for complex systems with significant levels of risk.

How to become a Chartered Engineer (CEng)?

First, individuals typically complete an accredited Master’s Degree in Engineering (although other academic qualifications e.g. BEng with Further Learning (FL) may also be suitable). Individuals should check the suitability of their academic qualifications at the earliest opportunity to identify any further learning requirements.

Then, individuals join a suitable Engineering Institution at a relevant grade e.g., student, or graduate.

Next, based on an individual’s academic qualifications, they follow their appropriate Professional Registration route, which will be either:

• ‘Standard’ Route (no further learning required)
• ‘Alternative’ Route (further learning required)

Then, individuals in their Professional Registration application must demonstrate to the required standard their:

• Academic Background
• Relevant experience
• Commitment to Professional Development
• Commitment to Ethical Practice
• Commitment to the Engineering Profession

Lastly, upon successfully demonstrating their ability to meet the required standard, individuals are admitted to the Professional Register and awarded the use of relevant post-nominal titles.
