Incorporated Engineer

Incorporated Engineers (IEng) maintain and manage applications of current and developing technology at the highest efficiency. They provide independently and as leaders a significant influence on the overall effectiveness of the organisation in which they work.

Incorporated Members are entitled to use the letters IEng MIGEM after their name.

INITIAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

IPD may be expected to take at least 3 years and it is a requirement to demonstrate competence and commitment applied in the gas industry by means of a Professional Review Report.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

The process will be more straightforward if you hold particular academic qualifications, these are:

• An accredited BEng/BSc engineering degree, or equivalent; or
• A Foundation degree, HND or HNC in an engineering discipline that satisfies the criteria listed below, plus appropriate further learning; or
• Successfully completed the Technical Report Option; or
• Be registered as an Incorporated Engineer with a UK Engineering Institution (see Dual Registration)

You can check if your course is accredited on the Accredited Course Search database.

Higher National Awards(not Applicable to PRC)

Qualifications that satisfy the criteria listed below will not require further learning.

• EdExcel/BTEC/TEC/SCOTVEC/SCOTEC Engineering HD/HNDs started before September 1999 satisfy the academic requirements for IEng registration.
• BTEC/TEC HC/HNC courses in a specified engineering discipline started before September 1987 satisfy the academic requirements for IEng registration.
• Scottish HC/HNC courses in a specified engineering discipline started before September 1989 satisfy the academic requirements for IEng registration.
• The academic requirement for BTEC/TEC/EdExcel HNC courses started between September 1987 and September 1999 is a minimum of 8.0 H units (or level IV and V), including 1.0 H units project, 1.0 N/H or H units computing and 1.0 units N/H level (level III) mathematics. Where the candidate completed an ONC prior to the HNC, the mathematics requirement may have been satisfied in an ONC. The same applies to the computing requirement, and may be comprised of different units, e.g. computing for engineering, introduction to robotics, CAD, etc.
• The academic requirement for SCOTVEC/SCOTEC/SQA HNC courses started September 1989 and September 1999 is a minimum of 12.0 HN credits, including 1.5 HN credits Project, 1.5 NC credits mathematics at the level of M2, and 1.5 NC credits computing. The computing requirement may be comprised of different units, e.g. computing for engineering, introduction to robotics, CAD, etc.

Where a Higher National qualification does not satisfy the profile, the missing units required to satisfy the profile may be taken.
A HND completed after September 1999 would require further learning to ordinary bachelor degree level to be completed.
A HNC completed after September 1999 and before 1 September 2010 would require further learning to ordinary bachelor degree level to be completed.
