A new report published by the National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) is calling on the Government to urgently prioritise, invest in, and reform the management of the UK’s ageing infrastructure.
The Engineering Council regularly reviews the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence and Commitment (UK-SPEC), the Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP), the Approval and Accreditation of Qualifications and Apprenticeships (AAQA), and Regulations for Registration (RfR) to ensure they stay up to date, protect public safety, and reflect current technology and sustainability needs. These reviews maintain clear, internationally recognised routes to professional registration, ensure education and training remain aligned with industry requirements, and support consistent regulatory governance under the Engineering Council’s Royal Charter.
The National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) has published Engineers 2030: The final report, calling on the Government to help bridge what it calls the “perilous skills gap and diversity challenge”.
The Engineering Council is proud to celebrate the achievements of the registered professionals selected as finalists for the 2025 Women’s Engineering Society (WES) Awards.
