STAREDUCATION on July 20 reported comments made by the president of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) about the UK Chartered Engineer system. I would be grateful if you would allow a UK Chartered Engineer (CEng) of many years standing to clarify the situation a little.
In the UK, two types of professional engineering degrees are offered: the three-year Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) and the four-year Master of Engineering (MEng). Both are accredited by the UK Engineering Council.
