I believe Prof Spence and Prof Banks of Strathclyde fame decided to muck around with the CEng requirements a few years ago.

It was rumoured that there would be minimum Secondary level quals required as well as a MEng. Funny enough there would have been only about 16 Uni's in Britain who had high enough entrance standards to allow acredited degrees strathclyde being one of them. And the amusing situation that someone could pass all the MEng degree exams with distinction and not be allowed to go for CEng because they left school at 16 for an appentiship. And some little wasock could scrape through with a 41% average could get one because they a couple of extra B's in media studys and sport science

I don't know if the changes were across the board of Engineering perversions or just for IMechE or for that matter if they got completely adopted.
