Sorry, what I meant to say is that the IET are seen by decision makers as a leading voice on Engineering in this country, and anything that raises the profile of engineering can only be good. Looking at the wording of the petition, I personally do not think it is ill-conceived - the "message" is good! However, I don't underestimate the effort required to elevate the perception of engineering, but we must keep on trying.
Surely we don't give up with something we believe in just because it has failed to get anywhere in the past. Engineers should be recognised for what they do, and my belief in this is one reason I'm a PRA.
