    well done kearnsr, what was the interview like? did they mainly focus on the " extended version of the cv" or did they focus on the essays you have to do. did you have many projects under your belt that you led / were a part of - were they short term projects or parts of long term projects?

    Im working on keeping a record of projects im working on but im not sure if they are substantial enough to acceptable.

    Cheers

    I'm working on my application right now for a Friday submission. It's quite a lot of work if, like me, you didn't keep any records over 10 years work experience.

    That sked me about anything that was in the report.

    I had big stuff and small stuff. I had stuff that I lead and was a team member

    The important thing is that you give them what they want to here. ie show your competent to be a chartered engineer

    Are the IEI regulations designed to it make impossible for engineers working for Foreign Multinationals to gain chartership. All my supervising engineers are foreigners therefore cannot support my application, my role is purely design/ R&D and therefore I have no commericial responsibillity, because of the commericially sensitive nature of my work I am forbidden disclose of disscuss my work without prior approval of head office . Academically I am better qualified than the majority of Chartered engineers.

    While Engineers working for Civil companies or semi state bodies can probably meet the requirements easily, The vast majority of engineers working in high tech sector/manufacturing will never meet these regualtions because of the nature of their employment. Is the IEI out of touch?

    Have you asked the IEI, because when I did, they were fine with foreign engineers signing off.

    They are more guidelines than requirements.


    The important thing is that you can show that you meet the key abilities of being a chattered engineer

    Speak to people in the IEI. they are decent enough to deal with
