The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is a long established and well respected organisation, and an affi liate of the Engineering Council (ECUK). This means that the SAE are officially linked to the ECUK, but are not licenced to register their members.
The IED, being an ECUK licenced body, has worked with the SAE to develop a scheme to enable SAE members to register with the ECUK as Chartered, Incorporated and Engineering Technician levels. This ‘joint’ Membership scheme enables SAE members to apply to the IED to be assessed for the appropriate level of registration.
The applicants follow the same assessment proceess as IED members, submitting an application form and Professional Review report, and attending an interview. On sucessful completion of the procedure, the candidate becomes a ‘joint member’ of both the SAE and IED, paying half annual membership fees and full ECUK annual registration fees to the IED. The applicant must remain a member for the IED for as long as he or she wishes to remain registered.
Engineers on the Joint Membership scheme receive many of the benefits of full IED members, inclulding the bi-monthly journal but are not eligible to use the MIED designatory letters.
