Good afternoon,
The Engineering Council is currently undertaking its five-yearly Standards Review, including the requirements for registration as a professional engineer or technician, along with the rules and guidelines for carrying out registration and the processes that support it.
As part of this review, we aim to make sure there are no barriers in the language that would mean otherwise qualified engineers and technicians are unable to work towards registration, or might perceive they are. Our goal is to establish a standard of English that is as accessible as possible and can be used across the documents.
The review includes these core documents:
- UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC)
- Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP)
- Approval and Accreditation of Qualifications and Apprenticeships Handbook (AAQAH).
As users of the documents involved in the review, we would be interested in your thoughts on the readability of the language used and any ways this can be clearer. We would be interested in your own thoughts and in any feedback you may have had from students or academics who have engaged with the text.
If you or anyone in your organisation would like to be involved, please let us know at diversity@engc.org.uk by 18 July and I will send through a section of the text in question and a short online consultation to be completed.
Regards,
The Engineering Council
