Profession opens doors to 2 million

摘要

The engineering profession is set to throw in its lot with the wider world of scientists and technologists to create what could become a vast new technology lobbying and services organisation catering for up to two million people. The blueprint for this new grouping was delivered this week by the Engineering Council to science minister Lord Sainsbury in the form of a 10-page report. It contains 40 recommendations to address what many in industry see as the declining relevance of the professional engineering institutions and the Engineering Council itself, the profession's umbrella body.
