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
Hi All, I don't think we need to create new professional registration for Engineering Technologist as per the title suggested. We already have IEng which is also an Engineering Technologist as per define clearly by International Engineering Alliance (IEA) under Sydney Accord.
I think the way forward is to intensify the effort to register more IEng and more marketing awareness campaign for IEng both candidate and employer. I also like Moshe post regarding the job advertisement where more employer put IEng/CEng for job requirement.
I would like to make another note that very few IEng actually go for International Register Engineering Technologist (IntET) in IET, I not sure about other PEI. When I received my IntET(UK) back in 2015, I did ask back IET how many IntET(UK) in IET and the answer is less then 20 if I can recalled back properly. I think IET and EC should put more effort to increase the number of IntET(UK).
Can anyone in IET membership provide us the number? How many IntET(UK) in IET to date?
I also had brain storm that perhaps we need to redefine the title and post nominal in order to better define Professional Engineer (PE) status both IEng and CEng level. I not sure PE is really acceptable way for UK system for their registration structure. Let say if it is ok below my random idea: Professional Engineer IEng Professional Engineer CEng PE IEng PE CEng But the PE CEng sound very confusing. I guess it didnt went well.
By the way some member ask me what is AET? AET is ASEAN Engineering Technologist.
