U.K. ENGINEERING 2016 REPORT

Former Community Member
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.

    Hi Mark,


    Interesting post. My previous employer tried to create separate career paths for specialists and generalists, to ensure the essential specialists felt they had a way forward in their career and were not forced down the generalist route. Too early yet to see how well this worked, I'm still in touch with them so will watch with interest.


    I'm definitely a generalist with a few (rather obscure) deeply specialist niches.


    And it's not much off-topic: I have seen several times in my experience that specialist engineers find it tougher filling in the application for CEng/IEng than generalists. The way UKSpec is worded can seem to favour generalists if it's not read carefully.


    Cheers,


    Andy
