International Equivalence - NPOV issues[edit]

Does anybody else think the International Equivalence section sounds a little non-neutral? Specifically, it says Although the Engineering Council (UK) now requires an undergraduate master's-level qualification for Chartered Engineer registration, the other Washington Accord signatories have not raised the level of qualification (it remains at the bachelor's degree-level see Engineers Australia ) , implying that the requirement in Australia is less than in the UK.

This is despite the change to require a 4-year MEng, made by the Engineering Council (UK), bringing them up to the 4-year (BEng) standard of Australia and I believe North America.

Degree Lengths[edit]

MEng degrees accredited for CEng are 4 or 5 years in length in England and 5 or 6 years in Scotland. BEng degrees are 3 or 4 years in England and 4 or 5 in Scotland. It it technically incorrect to say that the requirement for CEng is a 3-year degree (only). The correct terminology is bachelor's degree and master's degree, regardless of length. Someone keeps changing this to the shorter degrees.

A quick check of the Engineering Council website will verify this.

Engineering Council[edit]

The Engineering Council is no longer called the Engineering Council UK

Incorporated Engineer[edit]

Someone keep entering information about Incorporated Engineer. IEng has its own Wiki page

Engineering Regulation[edit]

Engineering is regulated in the UK, however, it is not licensed. To say professional engineering is not regulated is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.35.23.40 (talk) 11:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained Abbreviations[edit]

The page says: "Designation as a PE in the U.S. or PEng in Canada is a licence to practise based upon core qualification elements of technical practice and education."

But it does not explain what a PE or a PEng is, or link to any explanation. It's also not clear what the relevance of the sentence is to the subject of the article, since there's no other explanatory material. Either the relationship of this sentence to Chartered Engineering needs explaining or the sentence should be removed as irrelevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.97.62.77 (talk) 07:50, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tidy up[edit]

To bring the page in line with the fourth edition of the UK-SPEC and also resolve some inaccuracies I have made the following changes

In the introduction changed degree-qualified to degree-qualified or can demonstrate equivalent work-based learning as is made clear in the UK SPEC
Changed training and monitored professional practice experience to through education and working experience to bring it in line with EU legislation wording
Reworked the engineers licensing section as the references were misleading and not always accurate.
Removed the paragraph on what engineers are as it is irrelevant to the section (qualifications required for registration) and has incorrect reference (SOE.org.uk not Eng Council as quoted)
Removed bit on EU recognition and moved to separate section as not accurate post brexit
Added history section
Modified CEng requirements to cover CEng requirements and bring in line with UK-SPEC

in addition, I would like to add a discussion of both the practicalities of enforcing the Engineer/CEng title and the future of registration and licensing but who knows if my ADHD will allow it. If anyone wants to remind me drop me a ping. Sam Lacey (talk) 23:52, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
