Are we scaling enough on IET with new engineering students?

Hi

this is a general topic. I don't have the understanding and I don't have current facts. 

when I was at engineering college studying BTEC, 4 years (1992 to 1996) none of my tutors ever spoke about IIE or IEE. None of them. I was not aware of Eng Tech, Ieng or Ceng. It was never suggested or advised by tutors to register with the engineering council.  I know me and other students would have taken it seriously.

I wonder today, are engineering colleges promoting IET and Engineering council? Eng Tech, Ieng, Ceng ?  

Am very curious on the current state of students of engineering, having this visibility and inspiration for recognition and career progression?

As I stated before, I don't have the current today facts. So am very curious.

    I’m a little late responding to this; however, I mentor a degree student at the moment and professional registration is heavily promoted by the university. 

    Additionally, it’s something I promote internally as a member of the IET, as I believe there’s value in at least being aware of the UK-SPEC as a development guide. I hope it leads to professional recognition for those who meet the requirements and support anyone who wishes to go that route. We have students in our office who are TMIET and professionally registered due to their college studies; their goal is IEng and beyond through personal development. 

    I think educational institutions and their employees should promote PEIs; I suppose it depends if they're aware of the benefits, though!
