IHE implements revised Engineering Council standards

摘要

In August last year, The Engineering Council published new editions of its standards of professional competence and commitment. The IHE has started the process of working towards implementing these new standards for professional registration at EngTech, IEng and CEng levels. This process must be completed by the end of 2021. The overall approach in redrafting the standards to produce the 'fourth edition' was to aim for greater clarity, making the requirements more obvious. The number of professional competence and commitment categories remains the same at lEng and CEng level, with an overall increase of one competency at EngTech level. For those applying via individual assessment routes, the number of learning outcomes has been reduced, but some learning outcomes have been expanded to cover more areas. The biggest change has been the change of name (and name only] from 'Standard Route' to 'Recognised Qualifications Route' and 'Individual Route' to 'Individual Assessment Route'.
