15 Dec, 2020 The ICE Trustee Board has approved a new ICE qualification descriptor for non-civil engineers wishing to become professionally qualified with the Institution. At their October meeting, the Trustees recommended that changes are made to the Royal Charter and bylaws to introduce a protected title of Chartered Infrastructure Engineer. They agreed that these changes will be put to a Member ballot in 2021. This decision follows years of discussion among the membership about the changing nature of engineering. It recognises that successful infrastructure projects need a broad range of professionals to ensure their effective delivery. Not all infrastructure professionals have formal civil engineering qualifications, and so cannot apply to be chartered civil engineers, even though many seek professional qualification and recognition.
