Reasons why academics should become Chartered Engineers
> Recognition of practical competence as well as academic ability
> Highly respected by research partners in industry
> Access to technical publications and research facilities of the IMechE library
> A key factor in the RAE 2008 assessment criteria

Reasons why many academics have not become
Chartered Engineers
> Previously unsympathetic approach by some Institutions
> Perception that academics may not able to demonstrate all the competences fully
> Perception that the application process is long winded and cumbersome

What has the IMechE done about this?
> Implements a much more flexible approach
> Focus is on how academics can meet the competences within their day to day responsibilities
> Simplified UBR application process
