Membership
Membership of the IED is open to all those who study, practice, manage or educate in engineering and technological product design. Our members come from a diverse range of backgrounds and disciplines, but all have an interest and expertise in design. Benefits of membership are very wide ranging, most members join to gain professional registration and recognition of their expertise, to network with other designers and to continue their professional development.
Members also benefit from our ongoing commitment to influencing the development of standards and practices in engineering and technological product design.
Suitably qualified and experienced members of the Institution can apply for registration with the Engineering Council and the Society for the Environment.
Registration for both organisations is based on assessment of educational qualifications, training and competence and can be carried out alongside an application for membership. Further details can be found on the ‘becoming a member’ page.
