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
Alasdair, 100% agreement with that. But it's not going to get sorted by a to and fro debate on here of people with opposing views. I think it needs a working group of diverse members, registrants and potential registrants to be as representative as possible. Possibly a number of people who've posted on here, though we have to be careful that it really is representative of the wider community, without a disproportionate number of those who hold a strong view in one direction or the other. That could be as difficult as arriving at the right conclusion! ;)
