【组织简介】 ECUK's mission is to set and maintain realistic and internationally relevant standards of professional competence and ethics for engineers, technologists and technicians, and to license competent institutions to promote and uphold the standards.
Under its Royal Charter, the ECUK regulates the engineering profession in the UK and formally represents the interests of UK engineers abroad. It is a Designated Authority under the current General Systems Directives.
The engineering profession in the United Kingdom is regulated by the ECUK through 35 engineering Institutions (Licensed Members) who are licensed to put suitably qualified members on the ECUK's Register of Engineers. The Register has three sections: Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineer and Engineering Technician. These titles are protected by the Engineering Council's Royal Charter and may only be used by registrants.
In general there is no restriction on the right to practice as an engineer in the UK. Registration, which is renewable annually on payment of a fee and provided that there has been no violation of codes of professional conduct, is recognised as desirable in many fields of engineering employment and provision of engineering services but is not mandatory. There are a small number of areas of work, generally safety related, which are reserved by Statute to licensed or otherwise approved persons.
All candidates for registration as Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineer or Engineering Technician must satisfy the competence standards set by the ECUK and be members of the appropriate Licensed Member engineering Institution. Applicants must show that they have a satisfactory educational base, have undergone approved post graduation professional development, and, at interview, must demonstrate their professional competence against specific criteria.
