About us
Established in 1945, Incorporated by Royal Charter in 2012, the Institution of Engineering Designers is the only organisation in the UK to represent those working in the many fields of engineering (and product) design.
Our members enjoy a number of benefits, from advice on professional codes of conduct to a helpful advice line. We host regular events which offer our members the chance to network with other professionals. Members also receive the Institution’s bi monthly journal – Engineering Designer.
We are committed to encouraging CPD for all our members, and support ongoing training and skills development.
We are licensed by the Engineering Council to assess candidates wishing to join the EC's Register of Professional Engineers and Technicians and we also accredit its training courses. Those members who achieve the appropriate academic and competence standards receive Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineer or Engineering Technician status.
We welcome members from any organisation that has a design function and employs design engineers. You can find out more about becoming a member of the IED here.
