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
Resounding agreement with both of you on that. Also with Andy's point that he's only commenting on what employers are allowed/entitled to do by law, but on whether he (or we) agree that it's right. In fact I believe that the very fact that so many employers so misunderstand the registration distinctions is at then very nub of the issue that this whole thread is discussing and without a doubt, trying to adjust those understandings and perceptions of undoubtedly where I believe the key effort is needed if we are to try to support/promote the whole spectrum of professional engineers.
