    The Engineering Council 2002 to 2010 A Review by Andrew Ramsay MA CEng FCIS Contents Foreword 3 Prologue 5 The Early Days of ECUK 7 Year by Year 15 International Recognition 30 Annex A: Timeline 41 Annex B: SARTOR 3 42 Annex C: Incorporated Engineer Title – a Summary 44 Engineering Council Board 2002 to 2010 46 PEIs 2002 and 2010 48 List of Acronyms 49 Index 51 Acknowledgements 55 Page | 2 Foreword This review of the progress of the Engineering Council offers an inevitably personal view of issues, events and people who contributed to what must be judged as a successful period. However, while the Engineering Council is never itself going to be the UK engineering profession, it certainly moved towards a more central and less controversial position in its work and profile during this time. I am indebted to the detailed and lucid account of the earlier years of the Engineering Council written by Colin Chapman and Professor Jack Levy. Entitled Chronicle: An Engine for Change, this was published by the Engineering Council in 2004 and at the time of writing is still available on their website (shortcut link http://bit.ly/IY4ZLf ). However, for the shorter timeframe of this review I have adopted a less episodic structure than that of the Chronicle. It seemed to me that the extraordinary events that led up to creation of a “new regulatory body” in 2002, and in the 21 months that followed, deserved particular examination. Similarly, the way in which the Council was able to influence important developments in international recognition of UK-registered engineers can only really be understood in a continuous narrative – hence a separate section for this.

  • Professional Qualifications for Corporate Membership Exemption from Professional Assessment
    THE HONG KONG INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS 香港工程師學會 Professional Qualifications for Corporate Membership Exemption from Professional Assessment (Candidates must read this leaflet in conjunction with M3 Routes to Membership) The following Institutions have Reciprocal Recognition Agreements (RRAs) with the HKIE. Corporate Members of these Institutions may be admitted to the HKIE in a corresponding discipline, without a Professional Assessment, providing they have undergone a Professional Assessment/Review1 which includes an interview by the parent Institution. These Agreements only apply to those Members of the HKIE and Members of these Institutions who have been admitted via normal procedures and do not apply to Members of these Institutions who joined via their own RRAs. The RRAs do not apply to Mature Route Candidates except in the case of The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). All applications will be subject to verification by the parent Institution, endorsement by the HKIE Qualifications and Membership Board and final approval of the Council. The eligibility for holders of the professional qualifications from the Institutions below to a particular discipline shall be assessed and allocated by the HKIE. Under the RRAs, the HKIE retains full discretion as to the admission of any candidate to Corporate Membership. The HKIE also retains the right to require whatever additional assessment deemed necessary in individual cases, or even not to accept an application. In the circumstances that a discipline matching interview is required, the applicant may be asked questions related to his/her competences. Only two Corporate Member supporters, in the same discipline as the applicant, are required when completing the Corporate Membership application form (Form 1/MD).
