  2. Fellows are the highest class of membership of the Society. Fellows are senior members of the Society who shall have achieved a position of high responsibility and have contributed significantly to the advancement of the field through research or practice, or both. Fellowship is by conferment by the Council based on proposals made by the Executive Committee of the Society. Fellows are entitled to use the letters FSHMII after their names.

  3. Full Members shall have a serious interest in the field, support the aim and objectives of the Society and hold at least an acceptable bachelor degree in structural, material, mechanical or electrical engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent. Full Members are entitled to use the letters MSHMII after their names.

  4. Associate membership is open to all those who support the aim and objectives of the Society but do not qualify for full membership. Associate Members are entitled to use the letters AMSHMII after their names.

  5. Honorary members may be selected on the basis of their field of research and of their work related to the association.

  6. Organizations with a serious interest in the field and which support the aim and objectives of the Society can be accepted as Collective Members. Each Collective Member shall nominate one representative to exercise the rights and receive the privileges of the Collective Member.

  7. The method of election to the membership shall be by application to the Secretary of the Society for consideration and approval by the Executive Committee.

    (a) by a member through a written notice to resign to the Secretary of the Society;
