Institution news
New members are presented with their certificates
Hello from the ETC
We would like to introduce ourselves… The IED has a number of members who join its various committees. In this issue we would like to introduce you to the Education and Training Committee (ETC).
The members of the ETC are from a professional or academic background, with some having gained their professional qualification through educational qualifications and professional experience, while others have taken the Technical Report Route (TRO), using all of their professional experience to cover the necessary elements to meet UKSPEC.
Simon Vaitkevicus, Chairman of the IED’s Membership Committee presents certificates to new members Mark Potter and Andrew Bick. Mark is now IEng and Andrew is CEng. The certificates were presented at Nokia in Farnborough.
Registrant logos revamped
All individuals registered with the Engineering Council are entitled to use their own personal registrant logo, as a means of emphasising their professionally qualified status. To bring these in line with current branding, the existing Engineering Technician (EngTech), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and Chartered Engineer (CEng) logos have been refreshed and updated. At the same time, a new logo for those holding ICT Technician (ICTTech) status has also been created. Logos can be downloaded from the website using your personal registration details. Visit https://
ws.engc.org.uk/logoorders. Registrants will need to provide simple information verifying their registered status.
The Committee sits bi-monthly, either at Courtleigh or in London and as well as assessing individuals’ educational qualifications to ensure they meet the requirements for various membership levels, a variety of other education or training matters are dealt with, such as judging the projects of final year students for the award of an IED Prize or the Approval of Apprenticeship Schemes — starting young prospective design engineers on the road to a professional qualification.
The IED is a nominated and licensed body of the Engineering Council (UK) and accredits higher education engineering design courses at CEng, IEng and Eng Tech level, as well as other non-engineering
product design courses for MIED. The ETC forms the core of the panel for this exercise and its decision whether to accredit or not is made following the consideration of evidence from a range of indicators covering entry to the programme. Assessments are not based solely on course documentation alone; the panel speak to programme leaders, staff and technicians, as well as students from each of the years of the programme and samples of work and final year projects are assessed.
The IED are also involved in the Engineering Council’s Learning Gateway Scheme. The ETC helps individuals develop a ‘Learning Contract’ with a learning provider to ensure the correct learning outcomes are achieved, so the candidate can realise an appropriate Professional engineering qualification at the desired level at the end of study.
If you think the ETC can help you with • assessing the level of your qualifications • gaining IED approval for your apprenticeship scheme
• more information about the Learning Gateway Scheme or,
• if you are interested in your higher educational establishment programme being accredited…
