6. What is chartered Engineer (CEng)?
• In the United Kingdom, a Chartered Engineer is an Engineer registered with
the Engineering Council (the British regulatory body for engineers).
• Contemporary Chartered Engineers are degree-qualified and have gained
professional competencies through training and monitored professional
practice experience.
• Chartered Engineers (CEng) develops 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.

7. The benefits of CEng
Professional registration as a CEng not only recognizes your proven commitment,
skills and experience as an engineer, but also identifies to employers that you
have the competence, expertise and work ethic that they value. The benefits are;
• Improved career prospects and employability.

44. Which should youapply for?
For most people the following factors will almost certainly influence your decision:
• Assessment methods – would you prefer to sit a 7-hour exam?
• The tasks you do in your job – Are you primarily managing other consultants/
contractors, or doing the engineering calculations yourself?
• Your skill set – The competence levels at ICE are somewhat broader than
IStructE, with management, commercial and legal skills substantially higher.
• Which institutions your supervisors/mentors are registered.
• The average time of the Initial Professional Development stage of each
institution – people tend to sit the IStructE exam 1-2 years ahead of those going
for ICE.
• Costs and benefits of membership.
