Posted By Chris Boocock Janet. The Engineering Council(UK)have clear definintions of competencies for the expected roles and responsibilities of Engineering Technicans, Incorporated Engineers (Practicioners) and Chartered Engineers (Professional). There are also clearly definged minimum academic qualifications that are expected for these grades of registration with theEC(UK). These grades of registration are surely analogous to the development withi the Health & Safety Profession. I shall send these to you directly and am happy to enter into private correspondence should you wish to discuss the analogy.
