how do i become a chartered engineer?

Answer 1

Find a study programme over the net, you may even find one in your local or nearby area and sign up. While your looking look for courses also look for jobs that may allow you to progrss to such qualification at fully or partly thier expence.

Answer 2

In the UK there are various 'organisations' which oversee the activities and interests of certain fields of engineering.

Stage 1 Is to become a full member of the relevant 'organisation'.

Stage 2 Find a 'mentor' (most common name but others are applied). You present your current professional status with relevant supporting evidence. Some organisations will accept both academic and 'on the job' or continuous development programmes.

Stage 3 The mentor will assess the evidence supplied and present back to local groups or main assesment board.

Stage 4 The group or board will assign a weighting to your current situation dependant on experience. (again this may be purely academic or could involve on the job or just on the job varies by organisation). This weighting will then be removed from the current level required for a charter ship or other level applied for. this difference will then become the basis for your programme.

Stage 5 Your mentor will work out a programme with you which will mean you ability as an engineer will surpass the required weighting for the level applied for. This programme can be in the form of on the job projects, thesis’s or viva's.

Stage 6 Pay a ridiculous sum of money out of your own pocket and hope your boss signs it off and then it doesn't get lost in accounts and paid to some random waster.

Stage 7 Realise that if you are good enough to get a cert. then usually you would get through the interview any way and thats the time you use it unless your the kind of jockey who leaves his business cards every where.

Stages 6 and 7 are optional but happen

Answer 3

to become a chartered engineer in electronics you need to be a member of the IET and then do the relevent Industrial experiance and learning, some universitys are IET accredited and any work done there go straight towards earnng chartered-ship. As i am an Electrical engineer i only know about that proccess but i would think it would probably be the same in other engineering subjects.

Answer 4

First, you have to qualify academically - degree or equivalent (HND + extras), then you apply for membership of the relevant institute, depending on your discipline, then you pay the fees (when I qualified these were an entrance fee and a yearly subscription). You may also have to write a dissertation relevant to your subject and demonstrate that you are )or will be) employed doing what you've learned. At least, this is the case in Britain.

Answer 5

First thing you'll need to do is complete the minimum schooling - a Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline.

Then you'll have to work (in an engineering capacity, under the tutelage of registered professional engineers) for several years - the exact duration is dependent on the area where you're employed.

Then you'll have to write a "knowledge-based" test that is specific to your particular branch of engineering AND the area in which you are employed, and a separate "law and ethics" test that is specific to both engineering and your geographic location.

Assuming you've managed to accomplish all this, THEN you can become a registered professional engineer. (There's no such thing as a 'chartered' engineer!)

Answer 6

You generally need a Bachelors Degree in some engineering field. An Associates Degree will usually make you a technician.

Answer 7

well you have to stick in but you must have knowledge of physics and any more qualifications that you can get

Answer 8

study many many many many years
