Read the latest news, insight and case studies from the Engineering Council as we work with partners across the profession to raise standards, respond to change and support responsible engineering.
From professional registration and Standards updates to policy developments and registrant stories, this is where we share how the promise of responsible engineering is being made real.
Professional registration provides a certain level of confidence to the employer, especially having moved from a different terrain to the UK and it gives me that global appeal.
It opens up a whole different world of opportunity in your chosen field, from networking with other professionals, to advice and support.
Registration has helped my progression tremendously. For job opportunities it has made me stand out from other candidates, but perhaps most importantly it gave me sufficient credit to be accepted into the MSc course that I successfully completed in January 2016.
Professional registration assures that our staff are continuously developing on a professional level, that they are accredited for their competencies and capabilities in engineering disciplines and provides a level of confidence for our customers that we employ a highly skilled workforce.
The Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), in collaboration with the National Engineering Policy Centre, has launched a new consultation to examine how engineering knowledge and skills are changing in the 21st century and what will be required to attract, educate, recruit, and support future engineers and technicians.
My peers and my clients can now demonstrably see that I have been assessed by industry professionals and that I have been accepted as competent in my field.
The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) Sustainable Future Awards return for the second year to celebrate pioneering individuals and organisations from around the world who are actively shaping practices towards sustainability.
The Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Global Awards 2024 are now open for entries.
Becoming a CEng has been a goal since my time at university because it signifies professional recognition and excellence in the field. It also reflects a commitment to continuous development and the highest standard of engineering.
EngTech status recognises my competency and validated my skills and expertise. Registration will also allow me to work towards becoming an incorporated engineer after completing my university degree and help with my future career ambitions.
Having professional registration provides another indicator of experience or competence, other than rank, which can help when engaging with engineers at varying levels. When I work in command roles, being a visible member of the IMechE has encouraged personnel to ask for help with their own registration journeys or help with their career development.
The Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) Built Environment Awards ceremony took place on Friday 9 February at the prestigious Grand Hotel Birmingham.
