  • Chartered Status
    Chartered Status The chartered title can be held by those eligible people in the Member and Fellowship categories of Institute membership. The title Chartered Physicist is exclusive to the Institute of Physics. Chartered Engineer is maintained by the Engineering Council UK and Chartered Scientist by the Science Council. Chartered status stands for the highest standards of professionalism, up-to-date expertise, quality and safety, and for capacity to undertake independent practice and exercise leadership. As well as competence, the title denotes commitment to keep pace with advancing knowledge and with the increasing expectations and requirements for which any profession must take responsibility. Chartered status is the aspiration of members engaged at the leading edge of all fields of physics and its applications. Why Become Chartered? Physics is an integral part of our culture, providing the foundations for many scientific disciplines including chemistry, biology, the geo-sciences and engineering. The increase in wealth, economic globalisation, living standards and the quality of life in the 20th century was largely based on technological progress which in turn relied heavily on innovative research in physics. These trends are anticipated to continue and, indeed, strengthen in the 21st Century. As part of this the Institute has strengthened the standard for Chartered Physicist and made it a valuable tool for all employers (whether major multinationals on a recruitment cycle, SMEs or start- ups.). Chartered Physicists agree to be bound by a Code of Conduct that reflects best practice. The Code requires our members not only to show a high level of professionalism, but also to continually advance their competence through continuing professional development.

  • Bringing STEM Experts Into Your Classroom a Teaching and Learning Guide
    Bringing STEM Experts into Your Classroom A Teaching and Learning Guide Information and advice for primary schools, and scientists and engineers, wishing to develop a partnership to support primary science and technology Bringing STEM Experts into Your Classroom This Teaching and Learning Guide begins with an overview of some local programmes enabling upper primary pupils to interact with STEM practitioners from industry, academia and government. These programmes include Civil Engineers in Primary Schools (supported by the Institution of Civil Engineers), Science Expressions (supported by the Astra-Zeneca Science Teaching Trust, and W5), STEM Experts in Primary Schools (supported by the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT), and Sentinus), Physical Scientists from the World Around Us (supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the Institute of Physics in Ireland), Primary BioSciences and Primary Life Sciences (supported by the Wellcome Trust), Primary Food Sciences (in association with the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast). The essential feature of these programmes is that they provide continuing interaction between a working scientist or engineer and a primary school teacher and pupils over a period of time leading to a specific outcome or event, and provide a foundation for pupils to make appropriate course and career decisions later. As each section of this Guide is self-contained, there is some repetition between sections The programmes described in this paper were supported by: the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast, the Institute of Physics in Ireland, the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Primary Science Teaching Trust (formerly the Astra Zeneca Science Teaching Trust), the Royal Society of Chemistry, Sentinus, the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences at Queen’s University Belfast, W5, and the Wellcome Trust.
