Thanks for the reply.

I've done two consultancy projects so far, well I'm about to finish my second one in a couple of weeks, but I've never heard of anyone getting credit for them. I will definitely be looking into this one.

Thanks again.

If you click on the 'Insert' tab it should be on the right hand side next to symbol. If you just click on the button the equation tools should come up too. Hope this helps.

Hi folks,

I'm doing an engineering/energy conversion project and I'm a little frustrated by my perceived lack of recognition from my professional bodies (CIBSE, EI and IEI). Some of them don't acknowledge a doctorate as anything more than a period of postgrad study and couple of days of CPD and the maximum I think I can get from any of them is two years of IPD which would leave me in the roughly the same position as a masters graduate with one years work experience. I can understand the reasoning behind why they do this but it will delay my application for CEng status by about two years.

I know this is a common occurrence for engineers but I am curious to find out if anyone has found a way to squeeze the most of their PhD with their professional body?

Thanks,
V
