Engineering qualification

[davhill]

Just a v. quick question. Does anyone know what is denoted by the suffix MIMI T. Eng?
It looks like an engineering qualification but I can't find it on Google, apart from the MIMI
part.

I just want to know what sort of teaching programme/level of education is involved.

thanks.

Based on a quick google, I'd guess those are two independent suffixes ... i.e. he's a member of IMI and independently he's a T.Eng

I thought the Eng Council only have three quals - Eng Tech, I Eng, and C Eng. http://www.engc.org.uk/professional-registration/

T Eng is a new one on me. Might be the ancient version of Eng Tech, I Eng but things have moved on considerably.

T.Eng stands for Technician Engineer, basically the predecessor of I.Eng (Incorporated Engineer)

As you've already figured out, MI MI is Member of the Institute of Motor Industry

Thanks gents,

It appears that around 1983, T. Eng was inherited into The Institute of Egineering and Technology and made into I.Eng. To
achieve the atter, you need one of these....

An accredited Bachelors degree in engineering or technology;
An HND, or Foundation degree in engineering or technology, plus further learning to Bachelors level;
An HND or HNC started pre Sept 1999 (subject to it meeting certain criteria);
other formal qualifications, e.g. those gained overseas, assessed by the IET as equivalent in the context of your overall application;
work-based learning, assessed by the IET in the context of your overall application.

It seems to me that it isn't exactly top flight (no offence intended).

It shouldn't be so much a qualification as evidence of competency. An I/t.Eng would likely be more hands on, a C.Eng more office / paper based so it depends what they're doing. To have either is more than most people in similar roles.
