(1) Not yet, but it looks like OU is within a year or so of having a combination of modules with a good chance of getting RAeS accreditation - and they already have IMechE accreditation (as of this year).

(2) Moderately - we all know they're there and probably a good thing, but there are so few ERAU graduates in the UK that there's no real track record.
