(8) Coupled with additional recruitment the PEIs should undertake, through the Engineering Council, a review of all registration and membership grades with the objective of creating new grades which better suit the demands of members. While Chartered status continues to hold value there is clearly little appetite for registration at either Incorporated or Technician level. The review
of registration grades should therefore consider the replacement of the present three grades with two, namely “Chartered Engineer” and “Registered Engineer”. In addition the institutions should review their internal membership grades and consider the introduction of a new grade of engineering members, to be known as “Engineers” and intended to be available in particular to new members who have had no previous connection with the PEIs and who are engaged in signi cant engineering work.
