Coverage
ECUK has the job of regulating the
engineering profession – a
function that requires it to maintain the national register
of Chartered Engineers, Incorporated Engineers and Engineering
Technicians and to set the standards of competence that govern
the award and retention of these titles.
ECUK’s duties include monitoring and supporting its
36 licensed engineering institutions to ensure correct and
consistent application of the standards for registration, as
well as those that lay down the requirements for degree accreditation – which
is another important area of its work. Moreover, it does much
to foster and facilitate co-operation between the institutions
in order to disseminate good practice. ECUK is also heavily
involved with important educational and training developments
at schools / FE Sector level and at Higher Education level.
ECUK is a member of various international
organisations and agreements, which has allowed it to exert
real influence outside the UK. This has benefited not only
individual registrants – some
50,000 of whom are domiciled overseas – but also UK engineering
businesses and our system of engineer education.
