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

    Some of my colleagues asking me why in my opinion the UK they need two registrations of Engineers?


    I reply the following way, you know at times you hire or your company uses an accountant but at times you need a Chartered Accountant.

    Maybe it's similar.

    But then there is a void created if both are Engineers who will fulfill the void between Technicians and the Engineers?

    Some other countries have Associate Engineer or Engineering Technologists.
