U.K. ENGINEERING 2016 REPORT

event (I wander if the report addressed)

This is a time of change for the IET.

There was much debate about the recent re-organisation and an extraordinary general meeting for a vote, which confirmed it would go ahead. How has this progressed and what more is there to do?

There will be political changes with the UK and Europe which could affect the recognition of qualifications and memberships, and thus alter the ability to work in Europe. We may not have any answers to this as yet but the IET will have to operate in the new environment.

Over recent years the IET has rebuilt itself and should have a good future ahead of it. Dr Peter Bonfield, a Trustee and the Vice President of the IET, will present a brief update on the reorganisation and his view of the future of the IET. He will also look at how local and technical networks fit into this and the benefits it brings for the engineering community.
