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
I'm in agreement with Roy that IEng should be replaced.
I am not quite in agreement with Peter or Roy here. I don't think IEng should be replaced but rather think that something needs to be done and this may result in IEng being replaced. A subtle difference, but I don't think we should approach the problem with the preconceived idea that we need to replace IEng (though of course we should still discuss Roy's suggestions which I consider to be well thought out, especially as he understands the politics of the Engineering Council and PEIs far better than I ever will).
Best wishes to all,
Alasdair
