Time to create a new professional registration for Engineering Technologists

Peter Miller
The number of newly registered incorporated engineers continues to decline. The strategy of the Engineering Council is clearly not aligned to supporting the engineering technologist professional. Given the governments commitment to technical education the IET should create their own professional register to provide a relevant standard. It is obvious the current UKSPEC standard lacks credibility in terms of the IEng grade

    Peter,


    I respectfully disagree, IEng is a registered Professional Engineer and I think the people who achieved this designation are proud of it and majority at least contained with it.

    It's possible when IIE existed there was a higher level of focus on the IEng.

    When I was IEng I felt I had added recognition to when I wasn't registered. 

    I see Jobs in the UK that request or prefer a candidate who is registered at the level of IEng or CEng.

    The logic can also be that if you have candidates who are equal, given all equal but one of them also a registered IEng then there is an increased chance the IEng will get the job.
