Becoming professionally qualified as an Engineering Technician (EngTech), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) demonstrates an individual's competence, and standing in, the engineering profession.
Previous Engineering Council research has shown that a large number of eligible practising engineers, particularly at IEng level, could be missing out on the benefits of holding a professional qualification that recognises their knowledge, skills and commitment to the engineering profession. This means that their employers are also missing out on the benefits, such as:
• assurance that the employee has satisfied a rigorous assessment of their competence
• evidence of the employee's commitment to the profession
• the means to confirm that the engineering credentials being claimed are actually held
• increased technical credibility with customers
• assurance that the employee is keeping up to date with professional codes of conduct
• a means to satisfy requirements of the Quality Management Systems standard ISO 9001:2008
If you are an HR Professional or employer of engineers and wish to take part in the survey, which takes no more than 5-6 minutes to complete.
The deadline for responding is Friday 7 October and all responses will remain anonymous. However, as a way of thanks, all those completing the survey have the opportunity to be entered into a draw to win £100 of Amazon vouchers.
Respondents may also request a copy of the research findings, which will help you:
• Keep up to speed with awareness and attitudes towards professional qualifications across the profession
• Find out how other organisation view the role of engineering qualifications, in particular IEng, in the workplace
• Compare your own professional perspective on IEng to the findings of the survey
