Theme 1
Theme 3
Adapt our regulation to the developing
engineering landscape
Promote awareness and adoption of our
trusted Standards
Ensuring our Standards remain relevant and
coherent across established and emerging areas of
engineering practice will improve public safety and
maintain trust in a changing profession.
Professional registration provides assurance that
engineers and technicians are competent and
committed to practising safely for the public benefit
according to recognised Standards, including codes
of professional conduct. We will focus on how this
assurance benefits individuals, employers, industry
and society.
We will have succeeded if we grow the number
of registered engineering professionals working
to our recognised Standards of competence and
commitment in both established and emerging areas
of practice.
Theme 2
Build fairness, diversity and inclusion in
the profession
A professional registration system that enables
participation across the diversity of our society in the
UK will help ensure engineering serves the needs of
all and continues to act in the public interest, fostering
a culture of fairness and inclusion throughout the
profession.
We will have succeeded if fairness in professional
registration is demonstrably strengthened, equality
of opportunity is protected, structural barriers
are reduced through proportionate action, and
registrants are equipped to uphold inclusive practice
in their professional roles.
We will have succeeded if there is greater awareness
and understanding among key decision-makers
of the value of professional registration, so more
of them actively drive adoption of our Standards to
keep people safe, support growth and cultivate trust
in engineering.
Theme 4
Strengthen commitment to ethical
practice and global responsibility
Strengthening expectations for ethical and globally
responsible decision-making – the exercise of
sound judgment that takes account of the wider
and longer-term consequences of decisions in an
interconnected world – will maintain trust in the
engineering profession’s commitment to meet
today’s needs and those of future generations.
We will have succeeded if registered engineers
and technicians have greater confidence and
competence to navigate and respond to ethical
issues they face in practice, balancing the needs of all
people within the limits of our planet.
