Engineering Council Strategy 2030
The Engineering Council today
We are the UK’s regulatory body for the engineering
profession, trusted to unite and lead through standards.
Operating as a charity under Royal Charter, we champion responsible engineering for
society’s benefit, advancing standards across a growing community of engineering professionals.
We do this by:
• Setting, upholding and advancing standards for engineering competence and commitment
throughout the UK engineering profession
• Licensing professional engineering institutions to assess individuals for professional
registration and recognise programmes of learning and development
• Holding and growing the national Register of the engineers and technicians
who are demonstrating these standards.
Vision
That society continues to have
confidence and trust in the
engineering profession.
Mission
To set, uphold and advance
internationally recognised
standards of competence and
commitment for the engineering
profession.
We license professional institutions
to champion these standards,
ensuring they are applied
consistently in the public interest.
Strategic goal
Meeting the challenges of a rapidly changing world requires a
strong and growing community of engineering professionals.
Our goal is therefore to strengthen regulation of the engineering
profession so that engineers and technicians are trusted and
empowered to apply the highest professional standards in shaping
a safe, sustainable and successful future.
We will achieve this goal through four strategic themes:
• Adapting our regulation to the developing engineering
landscape
• Building fairness, diversity and inclusion in the profession
• Promoting awareness and adoption of our trusted standards
• Strengthening commitment to ethical practice and global
responsibility
Together we will strengthen confidence in professional registration
and support a more diverse and representative community of
engineers and technicians working to recognised professional
standards across every area of engineering practice.
