UK ENGINEERING REPORT PUBLISHED

摘要

The long awaited and much delayed report on UK Professional Engineering by John Uff, CBE, QC, FREng has now been published. It was commissioned and paid for by the IET, ICE and IMechE. It is highly critical in many areas but says nothing about the activities of the various stakeholders that are clearly successful and could be built upon for evolutionary reform. It talks about organisational changes without addressing the fundamentals of how such changes could achieve specified goals. The report is likely to cause divisions among the engineering institutions where, for the last few years, harmony has prevailed, with large institutions respecting and working together with smaller organisations.
