U.K. ENGINEERING 2016 REPORT

​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 also deals with formation, training and education of current and future Engineers.

    It mentioned that current trends are such that require Engineers to be much more versatile and cross functional.

    Mechanical Engineers are expected to be Electrical and Electronics Engineers as well and at times vice verse.

    The single specialization can be advantage but also disadvantage in rapidly evolving High Tech., 


    Employers need to see value added when they hire IEng or any other registered Engineer.

    PEI membership and professional registration offers such value and some employers value it, this is why I see job adds that require an Engineer to be CEng or IEng.

    But in UK out of some 3,000000 Engineers only 220,000 approximately are registered.

    This sends message that millions of Engineers in UK  choose not to register because in their view they can do without it, its not tied to their employment requirement or

    some other reasons that makes them not to get PEI membership and EngC registration.
