A new report published by the National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) is calling on the Government to urgently prioritise, invest in, and reform the management of the UK’s ageing infrastructure.
The Engineering Council regularly reviews the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence and Commitment (UK-SPEC), the Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP), the Approval and Accreditation of Qualifications and Apprenticeships (AAQA), and Regulations for Registration (RfR) to ensure they stay up to date, protect public safety, and reflect current technology and sustainability needs. These reviews maintain clear, internationally recognised routes to professional registration, ensure education and training remain aligned with industry requirements, and support consistent regulatory governance under the Engineering Council’s Royal Charter.
The Engineering Council would like to congratulate registrant Jennifer Barry CEng MRAeS, who has been named the Young Woman Engineer of the Year 2025 at the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s (IET) Young Woman Engineer of the Year Awards, held at IET London: Savoy Place last night.
For me, registration is not just a credential—it’s a platform for innovation and collaboration. It validates my ability to lead complex engineering programmes with credibility and inspires confidence among stakeholders globally.
The Engineering Council is proud to celebrate the achievements of the registered professionals selected as finalists for the 2025 Women’s Engineering Society (WES) Awards.
The National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) has published Engineers 2030: The final report, calling on the Government to help bridge what it calls the “perilous skills gap and diversity challenge”.
Chartered status and my portfolio of international professional registrations have significantly enriched my career, offering both credibility and visibility across the engineering landscape.
Professional registration is a hallmark of excellence and integrity in the engineering profession. It signifies a commitment to ongoing professional development and adherence to the highest industry standards, fostering trust and opening doors to a global network of opportunities.
The Engineering Council is proud to mark National Engineering Day 2025 (5 November) - an initiative led by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) - by celebrating the vital, diverse, creative, and evolving roles engineers play in shaping a better future.
Trustees’ Week (3 - 7 November) is an opportunity to recognise the dedicated individuals who help ensure that engineering in the UK remains trusted, respected and held to the highest standards.
Becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng) was a way to validate my expertise and uphold professional standards. It signalled a commitment to ethical leadership and lifelong learning and gave me the platform to advocate confidently for inclusion and responsible engineering.
The Engineering Council is delighted to announce that one of its Trustees, EUR ING Alastair Revell CEng CITP FBCS FRSA FIAP, has been awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Plymouth for his outstanding contribution to computer science education and the IT profession.
