Whether you are starting out or already in engineering, our range of memberships means that there is a level to suit everyone.
Grades of membership are awarded on a combination of experience and qualifications. The designatory letters after your name demonstrate where you are in your career. And, as you progress, you can apply for a membership upgrade to ensure your level always reflects your current position.
Member MIPowerE
For those whose qualifications, training and experience meet the requirements of the IPowerE. If qualifications are insufficient individuals can still be considered for membership if they demonstrate sufficient experience and responsibility in a related industry.
Associate Member AMIPowerE
For those not attaining the full qualification or experience required to become a full member or company member. Associate Members enjoy the same benefits as Members.
Student Member
For those undertaking a recognised course of engineering study or technical training and who are not in salaried employment. Student membership is normally limited to a total period of five years (not necessarily a continuous period).
Young Engineer
Persons applying to join IPowerE as a YE will need to meet Member entry requirements. Essentially YEs are expected to have completed their full-time education (distinguishing them from Student members) and would pay their annual subscription on a sliding scale dependent on age (up to 35 years of age).
Fellow Member FIPowerE
For those who have been members for a minimum of three consecutive years and who are able to meet stringent and advanced requirements.
Company Member
For any company who wishes to support the IPowerE. This class of membership allows for up to five memberships (which may be either Member, Associate or Student) at least one of which must be a Member.
Academic Partner
A cost-effective route to membership for University/College engineering faculty staff and students with a single subscription. This class of membership allows for four engineering faculty staff and an unlimited number of named students.
Retired Associate Member
This category is aimed at allowing and encouraging retired persons with an interest in IPowerE to join, without the need to fulfil the “Retired Member’ requirement of having previously been a Member or Associate Member.
Subscriber
For universities, public authorities, libraries and other organisations associated with the energy industry. Subscribers are entitled to copies of our journal, Power Engineer.
