Introduction To UK SPEC And Engineering Council
If you want to be professionally registered by the Engineering
Council as a Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineer, and Engineering
Technician, then read this blog. Here, we will tell you about UK-SPEC and the
activities all these three position holders have to show.
Introduction
to UK-SPEC:
The full form of UK SPEC is the UK Standard for Professional
Engineering Competence and Commitment. It explains the needs that people need
to fulfill to get themselves registered as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng),
Engineering Technician (EngTech), or Chartered Engineer (CEng). UK-SPEC also
includes examples of activities that demonstrate the needed competency and
commitment.
Each title for registration needs the demonstration of five wide
areas of competency and commitment given below:
·
Professional commitment
·
Communication and interpersonal skills
·
Responsibility, management, and leadership
·
Design, development sorting out engineering
issues
·
Knowledge and understanding
Engineering
Council UK-SPEC:
The Engineering Council is the UK authorized body for the
engineering profession. It establishes the criteria which have to be fulfilled
for an individual to get themself professionally registered. The Engineering
Council works under a Royal Charter, and it is governed by a Board representing
UK Licences and individuals from sectors and industries with an interest in the
regulation of the profession.
These
competency statements are taken from the UK-SPEC, fourth
edition. UK-SPEC forms part of the standard that is utilized by the UK
engineering professional to evaluate the competence and commitment of an
individual engineer and technician. It was established collaboratively in
consultation with engineers who represent the breadth of the professional, from
academia, industry, and many different disciplines and specialisms. We hope that
you have a clear idea of the Engineering Council UK-SPEC.

Engineer (CEng):
A Chartered Engineer develops solutions to complicated engineering
issues utilizing new or available technologies, and using innovation,
creativity, and technical analysis.
The
following are the things a Chartered Engineer shows:
·
The theoretical knowledge to sort out problems
in new and established technologies and to create new analytical techniques.
·
Successful utilization of the knowledge to
deliver creative products and services and bearing technical responsibility for
complicated engineering systems.
·
Responsibility for the financial and planning
aspects of tasks, projects, or sub-projects.
·
Leadership and development of other

·
An understanding of the sustainability and
safety implications of their work, seeking to enhance aspects where feasible.
Incorporated
Engineer (IEng):
An Incorporated Engineer is responsible for maintaining and
handling applications of current and developing technology and may take up
engineering design, manufacture, development, operation, and construction.
The
following are the things an Incorporated Engineer has to show:
·
The theoretical knowledge to sort out problems
in developed technologies using well-proven analytical techniques.
·
Successful utilization of their knowledge to
deliver engineering services or projects with established methods and
technologies.
·
Contributions to the planning and financial
aspects of projects or tasks and to leading and creating other professional
staff.
·

An Engineering Technician applies proven techniques and procedures
to solve practical engineering issues.
The
following are the things an Engineering Technician has to show:
• Sound
engineering knowledge and an understating of applying technical and practical
skills.
• Proof of
role in their role in either the design, development, commissioning,
manufacture, decommissioning, operation, and maintenance of equipment, products,
services, or processes.
• Supervisory
or technical responsibility.
• Influential
interpersonal skills in the communication of technical matters.
• The
capability of operating as per safe systems of work and showing an appropriate
understanding of the principles of sustainability.
