Get Chartered knowledge and understanding

Demonstrating knowledge and

understanding
The purpose of a technical report is to assess your knowledge and understanding against the high standard
expected of a Chartered Member (MIChemE).
When you submit a technical report for review you are providing an illustrative sample of your underpinning
knowledge and understanding of chemical engineering principles through the specic context of your chosen
project (addressing an objective, problem or development aim).
The subject of the report is left open for you to choose. You do not have to undertake a new piece of work for the
purpose of your technical report. Typically it will be based on a chemical engineering project you have completed
recently, as you will be required to expand on the detail and context of the report at interview.
You must ensure that the report includes an explanation of the chemical engineering principles you have applied
and is not simply a commentary or description of the work completed.
If you have been advised through the self diagnosis tool or by an IChemE sta member to focus your technical
report on further learning or on design, please read the guidance specic to the relevant report type.
Further information
The criteria IChemE refers to when assessing an individuals knowledge and understanding against the
level required for a Chartered Member are those used to characterise a degree for accreditation to Masters
level, where we look for attainment of knowledge and understanding against dened standards. IChemEs
expectations for delivering this standard are set out in our accreditation guide.
