Thanks for the information. Giving that a little more thought, I think the real problem here is that, no doubt, the term engineering technologist is still a meaningful term that had credibility and esteem in other countries internationally, still deemed to be a professional on a level with a middle tier manager/project manager, but in the UK, it's difficult enough getting recognition for C.Eng as being on a par with a solicitor or Doctor, which, of course, it should be. Engineering employers may, possibly, get it, but the public at large, many non-engineering employers, and sometimes it would seem even the government have difficulty in perceiving even Engineers (taking from those replies that only a C.Eng would be afforded that title in other countries) as being anything other than oily rag/screwdriver/hammer wielders. So what chance for someone labelled as entering technologist. Though, given the perverseness of society, I suppose there's a slight chance they would think it actually sounds of higher status than engineer! :)
