Qualifications required for registration
According to Engineering Council UK, chartered engineers "are characterised by their ability to develop appropriate solutions to engineering problems, using new or existing technologies, through innovation, creativity and change. They might develop and apply new technologies, promote advanced designs and design methods, introduce new and more efficient production techniques, marketing and construction concepts, pioneer new engineering services and management methods. Chartered engineers are variously engaged in technical and commercial leadership and possess interpersonal skills."

For registration, it is necessary for candidates to demonstrate that they are professionally competent through education, training and professional practice. Most chartered engineers have honours degrees in engineering, science or mathematics, and the latest regulations require new registrants to have a MEng degree or complete a postgraduate "matching section". Candidates are also required to demonstrate an appropriate level of professional competence through training and responsible experience: over a period of at least four years, candidates must demonstrate that they have acquired specific competences that they will need in professional practice. The final stage of assessment is a "professional review" (interview) conducted by two chartered engineers at which the candidate's competence will be assessed. A bachelors degree is usually an undergraduate academic degree awarded for a course or major that generally lasts three or four years. ...

When a chartered engineer has more than one institution membership conferring designatory letters, the institution through which the holder is registered as a chartered engineer appears immediately after CEng, with other memberships following in order of the institutions' foundation dates. Engineers with "chartered" titles awarded by professional institutions (such as "chartered electrical engineer", awarded by the Institution of Electrical Engineers prior to 2002) are only entitled to call themselves chartered engineers and use the CEng suffix if they are registered accordingly with Engineering Council UK. Post-nominal letters also called Post-nominal initials or Post-nominal titles are letters placed after the name of an individual to indicate that that individual holds a position, educational degree, accreditation, office, or honour. ...
