    Five years for a Master degree now, used to 4.5 years.
    Three years for a Bachelor, I think.

    The United Kingdom:

    A minimum of 4 years (straight to Masters undergraduate course) followed by around two years work in an appropriate field to gain Chartered status. A three year BEng degree is no longer sufficient to gain Chartered status.

    It would be advisable to contact the appropriate body for your field, prior to applying for a course:

    When I graduated (1985) it was 4 years to a BSEE in the U.S., and I don't think that's changed. There were also 5 year programs which get you a BS and MS, and 5 year programs which get you a BS and include work experience. I think that those last have been less popular lately.

    As of 1985, a student could take the Engineer in Training exam; after graduation and five years of increasingly responsible experience, he could take the Professional Engineer exam for his field and become licensed. Graduation may not have been required for licensing (can't remember), but the EIT and PE exams were. At least one state did NOT have the experience requirement. Again, I don't think any of this has changed.

    Depends on the style of Engineer!

    Most marine engineers take about as long as Welly takes to eat a peking duck!

    Real Engineers take longer (gotta find it under all those fish scales first)

    Not necessarily. The institutions seem to be getting alot more open minded on the subject. I have recently been in contact with IStructE, and believe ICE will be relaxing their rules in the near future. If you have a bachelors degree, you do need to supplement that with either a post-grad masters or you can do a "technical report", which can be completed whilst fulfilling the CPD for chartered status. This comprises a comprehensive report on a suitably technical subject, which is assessed by the institution. Not sure what the situation is with RINA though.

    Academic achievement isn't the be all and end all anymore, quite rightly so IMHO.

    Depends when you graduated. As a 2000 graduate, I could gain CEng status (IEE) via professional work only. From '02, the graduates of my course (and every other Liverpool course) would need further study for chartered status.

    Quite the contrary, most of the Institutes have strengthened their academic requirements since the ECUK common review of registration in 2000.

    As far as RINA is concerned Bachelors' courses post 2004 entry require further study, including those Bachelors' courses that are of 4 years duration.

    (Full listings of courses are on the link in my previous post)

    The date cut-of also applies to IStructE, however there is no requirement that you have to do further academic study. If you did a bachelors before the cutoff then all's fine and dandy. If not, your technical report can be linked with any job you may be doing which is suitably related to structures, and you don't need to take any time out for study, so can still be fulfilling the IPD requirements.

    I'll stick with IStructE I think ;)
