Officially an Engineer

With all the paperwork completed, I am now officially a Chartered Engineer.

So the letters CEng now get added after my name, which means my CV gets updated again, just like when I acquired the post-nominals CITP.

This doesn't mean that I can now go around saying that I can build roads and bridges - in fact it means that one of my professional duties is to not say that I can do things which I am not qualified to do. What it does mean is that I am recognised by my peers as a professional engineer who applies engineering discipline to the practice of software engineering.
