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
Roy, thank you for the reference. I would certainly support the merging of IEng and CEng. I think the distinction has become purely artificial. A much lower technical level, possibly the existing Engineerint Technician (possibly I've got the term wrong - sorry) would then be appropriate. It would certainly be seen as "different" and there would be no confusion.
Best wishes to all for Christmas or the holiday season, which ever you prefer.
