The Engineering Council exists to strengthen public confidence in engineering. Established by Royal Charter, our regulation of the engineering profession maintains and develops trustworthy engineering practice that keeps people safe and supports responsible social and economic development.
We set the Standards for the competence and commitment engineering professionals should demonstrate and hold the Register of those who have shown they are upholding these Standards.
We also set the education standards for programmes that provide the underpinning knowledge and understanding required to practise engineering, as well as standards for continuing professional development.
All this is made possible by the ongoing commitment of the professional engineering community, including the institutions we license to assess individuals for professional registration and recognise programmes of learning and development.
Through a well-regulated and globally responsible engineering profession we will enable people and planet to flourish in the face of the climate crisis and rapid social and technological change.
