Time to Knock IEng on the Head

IEng registration in terminal decline

    Simon,

    We know that IEng is not an Engineer assistant.  It's clear that IEng is a highly qualified Engineering professional. 

    Also, I would argue that EngTech (first tier) is recognized designation and has a lot of value to the registrant with increasing registrations at that level. 

    When I read UKSPEC for IEng I see highly demanding Engineering professional designation.  It's in my personal view more of an Applied or as some call Practical Engineer.

    My colleagues call it more junior Engineer yet an Engineer.


    Some countries have separated professional bodies handling registration of first and second tier vs the final third tier.

    Canada is one such country. All provide recognition and value to the registrants.
