U.K. ENGINEERING 2016 REPORT

Former Community Member

​I have noted in another discussion, several comments of my own, but there seems to be a lack of interest or it takes too long to read and digest the report.

​Apart from Roy's original comments and direction to be able to read the report, it would be great to find out if IMechE, ICE and the IET have had any official comments on the report and if not, when can we expect any.?

P.S. Just had to get away from CEng v IEng status discussion.

    The report is clear that the current system does not engage with the majority of practising engineer and technicians. No other countries have made a success of the 3 levels of engineer (technician, technologist, engineer) so change is necessary. I think that implementing the report findings should be the number one priority of all PEI's.



    First, I don't see that it solves any problem.  The engineering institutions aren't properly promoting the current EngTech and IEng, and just replacing it with a new name won't help.  That's going to be especially true if it's not clear just what level a new Registered Engineer is working at.


    Second, it would effectively downgrade everybody currently on IEng to EngTech status.  I cann't see how that would encourage anybody with a BEng to apply, or for anyone currently on IEng to retain their registration.
