I think Moshe is right. The IEng 'brand' lacks appeal to the vast majority of potential registrants. The IET could create its own 'technologist' register to complement institute membership. I think that in recent years the Engineering Council has been more aligned to the competencies of Civil Engineers (where perhaps the IEng/CEng distinction makes sense). In other engineering sectors such as advanced manufacturing and software engineering having a chartered category and a lower incorporated category does not make sense. Hence the small numbers registering at IEng level.
