U.K. ENGINEERING 2016 REPORT

Mr. Barker, 

 

I personally think R.Eng its a good designation for the Engineer.

I compare it to Science Councils Registered Scientists, RSci, It requires Bachelors of Science degree and additional 5 major areas / standards in UK SPEC style.

The Science council has Chartered Scientist (CSci), Registered Scientist(RSci) and Registered Science Technician (RSciTech).

I seen RSci PhD's.

In my humble opinion R.Eng is better sounding designation then I.Eng. Its clearly a designation of an Engineer.

I think the EngTech should remain unless it will move under a Technicians Council.(didn't really work in the past)  This way EngC only registers Engineers.
 "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 significant engineering work. "

Memberships as an Engineer in interesting concept but it may compete with registration, some may opt to be "Engineer" of the IET. or "Member Engineer", actually this has potential to increase member base.

Should R.Eng with appropriate degree be allowed to register as Eur Ing?  Will Brexit affect UK representation in FEANI is yet to see.
