EUR ING Application via 5.4b Special Cases

Hi All,

I had read through the EUR ING application guide and found on section 5.4b Special Cases as below:

"There are cases where the professional engineering performance required for registration has been developed on the basis of a type of education not covered by 5.3 and 5.4a). This case also applies for applicants whose education took place in the FEANI area (=FEANI member countries) but with programmes that are not listed in the FEANI INDEX. Nevertheless it is possible to consider such alternative routes. Very strict procedures, however, have then to be followed, (see 7.1), and the applicant must have at least 15 years of Professional Engineering Experience recognized by FEANI: 15E"

https://www.feani.org/sites/default/files/Guide_to_the_Register_FINAL_approved_GA_2013.pdf

Based on the above, possible for an IEng with more than 15 years of professional engineering experience to apply for this route? If yes, why EC / IET never promote this route for senior IEng?

Like to hear other opinion regarding this?

Thanks,

4. Have you considered that you might be just as well (or more) clever, educated, and experienced enough to represent yourself, without asking for approval from others, and their rules and regulations?

Great question...

I'm quite comfortable with who I am... and I don't (as a rule) use pre- or post-nomials except where they are relevant!

However, other people - especially Regulators and Assessors, but not forgetting HR peeps - like to know that I know what I'm talking about, and there are certain benchmarks that are now accepted as indicators of Competence. Holding those credentials helps with my job.

Someone with no pre- or post-nominals is not necessarily less-qualified than someone with loads of them... they may simply be choosing not to show them!

As for business cards, absolutely Andy, I used to carry a business card portfolio in my briefcase (another thing that's in the past) and consulted it regularly, but that's now replaced (as is so much) by the phone. I don't have them myself, these days, and when people give me theirs, I frankly don't know what to do with them, especially when I already have their contact details in my phone. It feels superfluous. I accept them out of courtesy. If I don't already have the contact details on my phone, I enter them if I think I'm likely to contact them again. And then...... well, I somehow can't discard them as it feels discourteous (which is daft, I know), so they end up in a general pile that, realistically, is just junk.

Having worked a fair bit with Japanese suppliers, partners and customers of late, I have had to learn the Protocol of business-card swapping!

It is very ritualized... and cards are treated respectfully!
