Incorporated Engineer (IEng)

Becoming an Incorporated Engineer allows you to use the post-nominal letters “IEng” after your name, highlighting your level of knowledge and expertise to your employers, colleagues, and customers.

Incorporated Engineer (IEng)

Incorporated Engineers consistently sustain and manage the applications of new and current technologies and may also manage engineering development, design, manufacture, construction and operation. 

 

Registration is open to anyone who can demonstrate competence to perform work to the necessary standards, commitment to maintain that competence, work within professional codes and participate actively within the profession. 

“The Institute were fantastic in helping me through the application process and I got great support from my sponsors and colleagues with my report and interview preparation.  In gaining my IEng I have a renewed confidence and proven to myself and peers that I am capable of this and more and it has already opened up new challenges to progress my career”.
