UK Engineering Organizatiions standing out of the EC "umbrella".

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

At a certain point one wonders: " why important Engineering (and Science) UK Organizations such as The Society of Petroleum Engineers(SPE), The Institute of Motor Industry (IMI), The Royal Society of Chemistry(RSC), to name but a few, prefer staying out from the EC "umbrella" ?

Thank you for your clarification, CEng Waserman

Sorry for my"lapsus" with the USA SPE, but I have to point out about IBI and RSC what is following:

As far as I remember the former ( IMI ) entered under the EC umbrella more than 20 years ago but it wiithdrew almost immediately from the EC Professional Engineering Institutions agglomerate, the latter (RSC) is on the same position of the Institute of Physics ( IoP ) that became a Licensed Professional Engineering Institute (!?), instead!

Mr. Bacco thank you for the additional information. As in the past, it appears we used to be members of SPE PEng and with the Institute of Engineers and Technicians and have experienced early formations of Council of the Engineering Institutions - (the early version of the EC UK), etc.

I think there are some smaller societies in the UK that are not licensed by the EC UK but affiliate, some have agreement with EC UK they seem to provide specialty membership and for members that want to register with EC UK, they have an agreement with IET who will do the assessment and register the Engineer with EC.

Happy New Year !!!
