One of the things that attracts me to this business is the diversity of what we do. In essence we all have a similar aim and starting point but the journey we take to get there can be different dependent on our training and background. Or so we think. I recently had the privilege of being accepted into the institution as a member and to register as a chartered engineer through the ILP. As someone without a formal engineering education I had to prepare a technical report, an experience I found both interesting and useful. First, it was interesting to see in black and white just how much 'engineering' I was applying to my work. I have always considered sound engineering design and best practice to be important, and presenting my design and specification in the format of a technical report confirmed this for me.
