[Q]Which one [Chartered Physicist or Chartered Engineer] is best? [A] None of the standards are better or worse than any other. They are just suitable for different people.
'When I set the chartered science teacher up, I linked it to chartered scientist, which is exactly the same as chartered physicist or chartered engineer, so that nobody could turn round and say, "What you are doing is below the standard of any other chartered status."' (Professor Derek Bell, College of Teachers)
Since engineering covers a multitude of disciplines and professions, several different professional statuses exist to reflect the extensive array of skills and competences within them all. The main chartered qualifications are Chartered Engineer (CEng) and Chartered Physicist (CPhys). Engineers can also register as an Engineering Technician (EngTech), Incorporated Engineer (IEng), or ICT Technician (ICTTech).
