Rise in registrants against overall backdrop of predicted fall

摘要

The Engineering Council's Annual Registration Statistics for 2010 show that a growing awareness and appreciation of the benefits of professional registration among the engineering profession and its key employers resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of new registrants during 2010. However, numbers on the register overall have continued to decline by just over 1%, which is in line with expectations based on the UK's demographics as a whole. Compared to 2009, there has been an increase of 26% in the number of new Chartered Engineers (CEngs), a 64% increase in new Incorporated Engineers (IEngs), and a 12% increase in new Engineering Technician (EngTech) registrations. This represents the second year of growth for new IEngs and CEnes and the sixth consecutive year that the number of new EngTechs has risen.
