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, OK, fair enough. I wasn't sure what your level of understanding was, but clearly is good and I'm definitely open to accept that you may be right. As I have said, I think this needs a close look in more detail by a team of people of different perspectives and situations - as close to representative of PEs as possible, and maybe aspiring/developing engineers too. I don't think we'll get any further from different individuals expressing different viewpoints on here. It's been useful to expose those viewpoints though, because it has clearly demonstrated the need and desire for change.
