In the United Kingdom, a Chartered Engineer is an Engineer registered with the Engineering Council (the British regulatory body for Engineers). Contemporary Chartered Engineers are degree-qualified and have gained professional competencies through training and monitored professional practice experience. This is a peer reviewed process. The formation process of a Chartered Engineer generally consists of obtaining an accredited Master of Engineering (MEng) degree, or BEng plus MSc or City and Guilds Post Graduate Diploma in an engineering discipline, and a minimum of four years of professional post graduate experience. The title Chartered Engineer is protected by civil law and is a terminal qualification in engineering. The Engineering Council regulates professional engineering titles in the UK. With more than 180,000 registrants from many countries, designation as a Chartered Engineer is one of the most recognisable international engineering qualifications. ==Qualifications required for registration== According to the Engineering Council, 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." CEng requirements Designation as a PE in the U.S. or PEng in Canada is a licence to practice based upon core qualification elements of technical practice and education. CEng is an international qualification brand and a benchmark. To receive designation as a CEng, it is required in addition to engineering education on MEng level or equivalent UKSPEC training and experience to also demonstrate significant technical (design competencies) and commercial leadership and management competencies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.engc.org.uk/professional-registration/standards/uk-spec )〕 For registration as a CEng, candidates must demonstrate that they are professionally competent through education, training and professional practice. Although many current Chartered Engineers have Higher National Certificates and Diplomas, honours degrees in engineering, science or mathematics, since 1997 it has been necessary to demonstrate further learning most commonly by completion of a four or five-year (in England and Wales) or five or six-year (in Scotland) integrated MEng degree, or by gaining an appropriate master's degree following completion of a three or four-year (in England and Wales) or four or five-year (in Scotland) honours baccalaureate degree in engineering or a cognate subject. The details of these engineering degrees are available on the Engineering Council website. Candidates are also required to demonstrate an appropriate level of professional competence to practice. This is accomplished through evidence gained from years of professional development, and by a professional review, interview and technical presentation in front of a professional board. The candidate's competence is further assessed during the final stage of assessment (professional review interview), conducted by two Chartered Engineers and a chairperson. A full description of the requirements for registration appears at the Engineering Council's website.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.engc.org.uk/ )〕 Overall, it takes a minimum of eight years — but most often at least 10 years — of university education and postgraduate training to achieve the Chartered Engineer qualification. Chartered Engineers are recognised in Europe as regulated professions, by the Directive 2005/36. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chartered Engineer (UK)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
