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 think it's a good idea to create one designation for registered Engineers as a Chartered Engineer
But not all see it eye to eye with me, My good friend who is also MIET thinks its good to have two registrations, one for more junior engineers - Associate Engineer. And a final registration as a Chartered Engineer. He thinks that Technologist is a separate professional designation that requires somewhat different education a Degree in Engineering Technology.
Then followed by Registered Engineering Technologist as a unique registration for such professionals.
