SOE: Classes of Membership, EngTech, IEng and Ceng

Find out what's happening round the SOE regional network.

One of the primary aims of SOE is to help its members develop and so the membership classes are intended to reflect the achievements of members at each stage of their career. The classes reflect the Society’s inclusive ethos, and range from Student to Fellow. This also reflects the broad-reaching and multi-disciplinary nature of the industry and differing levels of industry experience.

You will be awarded post-nominal letters according to your class.
