Who are we?
This journal is produced by the IED for our Members and for those who
have an interest in engineering and product design, as well as CAD users.
The IED, established in 1945, incorporated by Royal Charter in 2012,
is a licensed body of both the Engineering Council and Society for the
Environment and we register our suitably qualied Members as Chartered
Environmentalists (CEnv), Chartered Engineers (CEng), Incorporated
Engineers (IEng) or Engineering Technicians (EngTech), Chartered
Technological Product Designers (CTPD) and Registered Product Designers
(RProdDes). We also offer professional recognition to Product Designers,
CAD Technicians, and those who teach and lecture in design or CAD.
We represent our Members’ interests at the highest levels and raise
awareness of the professional standards of our Members, whilst providing a
resource and information service, and a friendly and approachable route to
assessment and registration.

Why become a member of the IED?
Membership of any professional body gives you professional recognition
and status, and an acknowledged code of conduct to work to. Membership
of the IED gives you the added credibility of being acknowledged for the
role you play in Design and Innovation, and helps to develop your skills and
knowledge in these areas.
As well as the various registrations, membership of the IED gives you the
opportunity to meet with other designers and discuss issues particular
to your eld of expertise or interest. Many of our Members prefer to
communicate primarily through the discussion forums on our website,
as this lends itself to the busy work schedules – however, we also run
seminars, meetings and events where Members can carry out CPD and
meet up.
The IED is the only Institution that represents designers in all
Engineering and Product Design elds, plus those who teach these skills.

the high standards of membership, we need all prospective members to:
