Who are we?


“ For any design engineer hoping to pursue a career in industry, membership and registration shows commitment to continuing professional development, and promoting good practice in those with whom we interact on a daily basis. The IED provides a natural home for those whose roles encompass a diverse range of skills.” BH, Chartered Engineer


The IED – who are we?


This journal is produced by the IED for our members and for those who have an interest in engineering and prod- uct design, as well as CAD users.


‘The IED is a licensed body of both the Engineering Council and Society for the Environment and we register our suitably qualified members as Chartered Environmentalists (CEnv), Chartered Engineers (CEng), Incorporated Engineers (IEng) or Engineering Technicians (EngTech). We also offer professional recognition to Product Designers, CAD technicians and those who teach and lecture in design or CAD.


We represent our members interests at the highest levels and raise awareness of the professional standards of our members, whilst providing a resource and information service and a friendly and approachable route to assessment and registration.


www.ied.org.uk How do you join?


We have made the application process as simple as we can. To maintain the high standards of membership, we need all prospective members to:


Complete an application form


Write a professional review report detailing what you do in your role in design. All applicants are assessed by a Committee of members and via an interview.


If you are a designer who would like to gain formal professional recognition, or work in an organisation which employs designers and would like to have your employees gain membership and professional recognition, contact Sue at the IED on 01373 822801 or send an email to: sue@ied.org.uk to discuss your next step.


Why become a member of the IED?


Membership of any professional body gives you professional recognition and status and an acknowledged code of conduct to work to. Membership of the IED gives you the added cred- ibility of being acknowledged for the role you play in Design and Innovation, and helps to develop your skills and knowledge in these areas.


As well as registration with the Engineering Council, membership of the IED gives you the opportunity to meet with other designers and discuss issues particular to your field of expertise or interest. Many of our members prefer to communicate primarily through the discussion forums on our website, as this lends itself to the busy work schedules – however we also run seminars, meetings and events where members can carry out CPD and meet one another.


The IED is the only Institution that represents designers in all Engineering and Product Design fields, plus those who teach these skills.
