Fellowship is a significant honour.[2][3][4] Up to 60 engineers are elected each year by their peers. Honorary and International Fellows are those who have made exceptional contributions to engineering.[5]

The criteria for election are stated in the charter, statutes, and regulations document.[6] The essential attributes of excellence in engineering include:

  • Organisation and department leaders: those with full responsibility on technical decisions, those who have demonstrated significant personal engineering achievements
  • Top Engineers, academics or researchers: whose work have resulted in new products, important processes or practices, those who have made outstanding contributions to major projects.

Fellows are entitled to use the post-nominal letters FREng; prior to the Royal Charter in 1983 FEng was used.
