  1. ICE Membership & Professional Qualification Presented by Tom Foulkes Director General 15 October 2007

  2. ICE Membership • 3 Grades of Professionally Qualified Membership for civli engineers and technicians: • Technician Member (TMICE) • Incorporated Member (MICE) • Chartered Member (MICE Chartered Civil Engineer) • These Grades are closely aligned to Registration with the Engineering Council of the UK: • Technician Member: Engineering Technician (EngTech) • Incorporated Member: Incorporated Engineer (IEng) • Chartered Member: Chartered Engineer (CEng) • Senior Grade of Membership: Fellow (FICE)

  4. Becoming a Member - Professional Qualification Stages

  5. Professional Qualification Stage Requirements

  6. Stage 2: Initial Professional Development – Development Objectives • IPD is defined by 15 Development Objectives which incrementally guide the Graduate through an Appreciation of, Knowledge of , Experience of , and an Ability to satisfy each objective: • 1. Broaden and deepen engineering knowledge • 2. Identify engineering problems and define possible solutions. • 3. Conduct appropriate engineering research and analysis relating to engineering problems • 4. Implement solutions to problems and evaluate their effectiveness • 5. Plan for effective project implementation • 6. Control budgets, tasks, people and resources • 7. Develop people to meet changing technical and managerial needs • 8. Bring about continuous improvement through quality management • 9. Manage contractual issues • 10. Communicate with others at all levels • 11. Demonstrate personal and social skills • 12. Comply with relevant codes of conduct • 13. Manage and apply safe systems of work • 14. Contribute to sustainable development through engineering activities • 15. Manage your own continuing professional development, and assist others

  7. Stage 2: Initial Professional Development - Completion • ICE recommends that IPD is completed via a Training Agreement with an employer offering an ICE Approved Training Scheme • ICE has approved approximately 300 Training Schemes both within and outside the UK • Approved Training Schemes identify companies who have demonstrated the ability and commitment to offer fully supported training to Graduates • IPD can also be undertaken and completed on a “self-managed” basis – the Graduate completes the Development Objectives without the support of formal training. This is the option for those who have not trained under Agreement. • There is no set time for IPD. Typically civil engineers complete their IPD in 4 to 5 years

  8. Stage 3: Professional Review - Attributes During the interview the Reviewers assess the candidate against the following attributes • 1. Engineering Knowledge & Understanding • 2. Engineering Application • 3. Management & Leadership • 4. Independent Judgement & Responsibility • 5. Commercial Ability • 6. Health, Safety & Welfare • 7. Sustainable Development • 8. Interpersonal Skills and Communication • 9. Professional Commitment

  9. Admissions to Membership • ICE routinely undertakes Professional Reviews each year in the UK (8 centres), Hong Kong, Shanghai, Chennai, Dubai, Brunei, Australia and New Zealand • Approximately 760 sit their Professional Review in the UK each year • Approximately 260 sit their Professional Review in Hong Kong each year • The UK pass rate is 80% • The requirements for Membership are closely allied with the Registration requirements of ECUK and are reviewed in line. The last major ECUK review was completed in 2004, and ICE refinements to the Membership process were made in 2006.

  10. QUESTIONS

  11. Royal Charter – Institution of Civil Engineers “…many important and public and private works and services in the United Kingdom and overseas which contribute to the wellbeing of mankind are dependent on Civil Engineers and call for a high degree of professional knowledge and judgment in making the best use of scarce resources in care for the environment and in the interests of public health and safety it is accordingly of importance that there should be a ready means as heretofore of ascertaining persons who by proper training and experience are qualified to carry out such works.”

  12. Registration • The titles Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and Engineering Technician (EngTech) are regulated and controlled by the Engineering Council of the UK (ECUK) • ECUK controls these protected titles and awards them through 36 Licensed Engineering Institutions in the UK of which ICE is one

  13. Grades of Membership

  14. Professional Qualifications - the 3 Stages to Qualification • 1. Educational Base – the underpinning knowledge and understanding to support professional competence • 2. Initial Professional Development – the period when knowledge and understanding is applied in the work environment leading to the development of competence and independent engineering judgement. • 3. Professional Review – a peer review by practising engineering professionals assessing a candidate’s competence and commitment against competence standards

  15. Stage 1: Benchmark Educational Base Requirements

  16. Stage 1: Degree Accreditation - Joint Board Of Moderators • The Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprises ICE, Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), Institution of Highways and Transportation (IHT) and the Institute of Highway Incorporated Engineers (IHIE) • Undertakes accreditation of degree programmes for IEng and CEng programmes • Undertakes10-15 visits each academic year • Accreditation is normally granted for a 5-year period

  17. Stage 2: Initial Professional Development (IPD) • IPD is the stage when aspiring Members learn to apply knowledge and understanding and begin to develop independent judgement in the workplace • It comprises the acquisition and development of the special skills and professional approach needed to practise • It bridges the gap between the educational base and professional qualification

  18. The Professional Review comprises three stages: 1. Submission of: one 2,000 word Experience Report one 4,000 word Project Report CPD record 2. An Interview undertaken by 2 Reviewers of 75 minutes duration, commencing with a 15 minute presentation of the project report by the candidate to the Reviewers 3. A Written Assignment – 2 hours, supervised under exam conditions and subsequently marked by the 2 Reviewers Stage 3: The Professional Review

  19. Stage 3: 2000 Word Experience Report Introduces, and set the background of the candidate. It describes: • Tasks • Positions • Responsibility • Project Size • Project Value • Personal experience • Personal contribution • Special problems • Unusual experience • Extensive experience • Lessons learned

  20. Stage 3: 4000 Word Project Report Written with the attributes in mind, the report starts to establish the candidate’s: • Level of competence • Leadership skills • Role(s) in project development and management • independent engineering and professional judgement

  21. Stage 3: The Written Assignment (WA) • The WA is a test of the candidate’s written communication • It provides an opportunity for the candidate to develop and marshal their thoughts, and present a clear and concise piece of written communication. • The candidate selects 1 of 2 questions set • The WA is not an additional test of technical knowledge

  22. Registration… • On successful completion of the 3 stages, the individual is recognised with Professionally Qualified Membership • Many are then entitled to Register as either an Engineering Technician (EngTech), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) with the Engineering Council of the UK (ECUK )

  23. Chartered Environmentalist - CEnv • ICE is also licensed to award the Chartered Environmentalist title to professionally qualified Members (MICE and FICE) who satisfy the requirements of the Society of the Environment (SocEnv) • SocEnv is the independent body that regulates the award of the Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) qualification through 15 Licensed Professional Institutions. • SocEnv was launched in 2002

  24. Chartered Environmentalist - CEnv • Chartered Environmentalists are drawn from no one profession. They work across industry, government, education and the public sector • Chartered Environmentalists share a commitment to environmental best practice and a high degree of expertise in their field. • Registration sets Chartered Environmentalists apart from others working in their field. It establishes proven knowledge, experience and commitment to professional standards, and enhances employability.
