Guidance on Responsibility and
Experience Acceptable for Corporate Membership of the Institution
of Engineers
Entry or Transfer to Member (MIEM)
The Bye Laws specify at least 4 years of practice, with 2
years in a position of high responsibility including at least
1 year in design and/ or planning and 1 year in construction
and/ or management. Teaching engineering at graduate and postgraduate
level is acceptable on the basis of 2 years of teaching as
one year of responsible experience.
Entry or Transfer to fellow (FIEM)
Applicants should hold at least 10 years of engineering practice
with at least 5 years in a position of responsibility in major
engineering works (design, execution, promotion, and practice
of engineering), and to have made noteworthy contribution
to engineering, and to have occupied a prominent position
in the profession of engineering.
When completing Section 9 (of application form) applicants
should bear in mind that the membership committee will be
looking for experience at a very high level of responsibility,
such as obtainable by engineers holding very senior positions
(heads of department or divisions) within large organizations,
or even those directing smaller technical business with very
significant positive technological and economic impact on
society and the environment.
Entry or Transfer to Fellow Technician (FTechIEM)
Applicants should hold an aggregate of 10 years experience
in a post of high responsibility, 5 years of which in a position
of direct responsibility for installation and maintenance.
Membership Committee's Approach
In its assessment of the experience requirements towards
deciding the nature of experience acceptable for admission
or transfer to the Corporate Membership Classes, Council draws
guidance from both the Statements and Directives of the Council
of Registered Professional Engineers (Mauritius), as well
as those issued by Engineering Institutions of International
standing for overseas for admission to similar classes of
their membership.
The current reference qualification for practicing engineering
in Mauritius remains, under the CRPE Act No 49 as subsequently
amended, the UK degree and the Corporate Membership of a Chartered
Engineering Institution of the UK and Northern Ireland. Council
draws guidance from the experience requirements for Corporate
Members and Incorporated Engineers specified by the UK Engineering
Council's to set the standards, after appropriate adaptation
to suit the Mauritian environment, for admission into corporate
Membership classes.
Experience requirement for Fellow Technicians
Bearing in mind the above, and considering that IEM does not
have an Incorporated Engineers class, Council's has adapted
the criteria as appropriate for entry into Fellow Technician
class.
IEM requirements in relation to those of CRPE (Mauritius)
a. The requirements of I.E.M extend beyond those of the CRPE,
which concern itself primarily with the two years of satisfactory
practice of engineering, IEM requirements for corporate Membership
should facilitate registration of the Corporate Members with
the CRPE.
b. CRPE lays major emphasis on the functions of advising
and reporting on engineering designs, as well as on actual
designing and approval of engineering designs. CRPE requires
applicants to demonstrate that they have ability to put into
practice their engineering knowledge.
