ARE CENG AND IENG EQUAL IN STATUS

Dr.Georgios


Our discussion is encircling about the professions Engineering and Technology, hence about the professionals Engineers and Technologists.  UK is giving same title, for example IEng to both Engineers and Technologists, likewise CEng to both Engineers and Technologists, which means that according to the title, both Engineers and Technlogists are Engineers, according to the UK.  I am not strongly convinced by this scheme.


Therefore, i suggest that Bachelor of Engineering Degree Grads may be entitled as IEng and Master of Engineering Degree Grads may be entitled as CEng (it will already according to the UK-SPEC).  But for the Bachelor of Technology Degree Grads may be entitled as ITech and Master of Technology Degree Grads may be entitled as CTech.  This suggestion covers the competencies level also.  Both IEng and ITech should be at par.  Likewise both CEng and CTech should be at par.  


I think, by doing so, both professions of Engineering and Technology may be justified.  Otherwise mixing and mixing and mixing.


If someone does not agree with above suggestion then i further suggest that the profession Technology and professionals Technologists may be terminated.  Only Engineers and Technicians should be existed.  On the other side, the profession Science and professionals Scientists are already well defined and recognized (no conflict).


Replies would be highly appreciated.  Thank you.
