Engineering Council UK

Our Mission :

To support wealth creation in the UK through operation of a registration process that recognises the essential contributing characteristics of professional engineers, technologists and engineering technicians.

Our Vision :

The Engineering Council UK will provide a clear means to ensure that employers, clients, government and society can have confidence in the skills and commitment of engineers, technologists and technicians.

Today’s Professional Engineers

Chartered Engineers are characterised by their ability to develop appropriate solutions to engineering problems, using new or existing technologies, through innovation, creativity and change. They might develop and apply new technologies, promote advanced designs and design methods, introduce new and more efficient production techniques, marketing and construction concepts, pioneer new engineering services and management methods. Chartered Engineers are engaged in technical and commercial leadership and possess effective interpersonal skills. They demonstrate a personal and professional commitment to society, to their profession, and to the environment.

Incorporated Engineers are characterised by their ability to act as exponents of today’s technology through creativity and innovation. To this end, they maintain and manage applications of current and developing technology, and may undertake engineering design, development, manufacture, construction and operation. Incorporated Engineers are engaged in technical and commercial management and possess effective interpersonal skills. They demonstrate a personal and professional commitment to society, to their profession, and to the environment.

Today’s professional Engineering Technician

Professional Engineering Technicians are involved in applying proven techniques and procedures to the solution of practical engineering problems. They carry supervisory or technical responsibility, and are competent to exercise creative aptitudes and skills within defined fields of technology. Professional Engineering Technicians contribute to the design, development, manufacture, commissioning, operation or maintenance of products, equipment, processes or services. Professional Engineering Technicians are required to apply safe systems of work.

Registration Requirements

Both professional engineers and professional engineering technicians will have achieved registration by demonstrating the necessary competence and commitment. This will usually have been acquired through a combination of education, leading to formal academic qualifications, and relevant professional development in employment. The assessment process includes a formal interview.

In order to maintain registration it is necessary to continue membership of a licensed body as part of a commitment to maintaining competence.
