This Society is being absorbed by the IET

professionalengineers-uk.org/
  • Excuse the typo in previous post I meant PEI “Professional Engineering Institution”.  

    Arjuna , CABE is affiliated to Engineering Council .  https://www.engc.org.uk/news/press-releases/pr2017/promoting-professional-registration/  and offers its own “Chartered Building Engineer” recognition which is not aligned to UK-SPEC CEng. Although Engineering Council affiliation offers no guarantee of a body’s financial stability, it offers at least some reassurance about recognition.  

    I don’t know if the address is just coincidence , but someone will. I only posted to share what I had been told by a reputable source. I’m sorry if Yung or anyone else has suffered any loss.


  • Roy, no problem. Thanks for the correction, I knew it is PEI not PRI. The SPEng is now history, so we need to move on.  Actually, I more curious on how the IET going to handle this situation.

    I found that Society of Professional Engineers (UK) International Members have formed The Society of Professional Engineers ( UK and International) as an online society to retain their PEng , MSPE titles as PEng UK and International), MSPE (UK and International) .

    They have now become the Institution of International Engineers (IIPE) but they will continue to keep the title PEng,MSPE/FSPE(International). The new title MIIPE/FIIPE can also be claimed by MSPE and FSPE themselves as well..

    They also state:


    "We are not required to get the permission from any government because we are International Professional Engineers Organization.
    "

     




     

  • Speaking personally, assuming that the motives of those involved are honest and honourable, then I see no fundamental reason why a group of professional people should not choose to collaborate in recognising each other and inviting others to join in. 


    The model being adopted is based on UK professional or "learned society" principles, but being unregulated, could easily be used to mislead by someone with less than honourable motives. I'm a frequent critic of some aspects of Engineering Council policy and it is obvious from the extent of voluntary participation that the proposition it sets out using UK-SPEC, serves some practitioners considerably better than others, but it is a proper regulator. Similar issues arise in other countries.



    I hope to attend a talk this evening organised by a club of Railway enthusiasts that I joined last year, the speaker is a high profile industry figure so I hope to learn something of interest, but the club doesn't offer members any form of assessment or "recognition".  I can sympathise with those who seem to have been excluded and want to continue what they had. I wish them no harm, but I would still advise anyone who isn't already a member, in this or any similar circumstances to exercise due dilligence before becoming involved. I have seen too many people with credentials and qualifications that they paid money for, but have little value, or even in worst case undermine their credibility.

    Kyaw Naing:

    The Society of Professional Engineers International  has been organized by Former SPE-UK Members and led by Dr Peter Prasad who are unhappy with the process that no voting by international members was made. SPE International is different from SPE UK. The Institution of Professional Engineers Myanmar  www.ipemyanmar.org  will co-operate with SPE International.

    After the SPE(UK), the UK SEE (Society of Environmental Engineers), licensed professional engineering body by the Engineering Council, dissolved!
    https://professionalengineeringukandothertopics.wordpress.com/2019/11/28/important-information-after-the-speuk-the-uk-see-society-of-environmental-engineers-dissolved/


    At this point, with the UK out of the EU, I wonder: "what will happen to the Engineering Institutions and Societies membership considered that about the 25% of their members are coming from overseas?" . This could result in a dead loss of  at least 40,000 members ( as a minimum) of the overall 220,000 members managed by the Engineering Council, with a consequent probable closure of the medium and smaller bodies, so only the biggest and prestigious ones will survive to this real debacle!
