In a continuing bid by the government to improve the status of engineering professions, the Engineering and Technology Board (ETB) has been created. The new body will act as a support to the engineering and technology sector, and assist professionals in marketing their skills.The ETB is the first initiative to be launched in response to findings presented by the Hawley Group, a task force chaired by Dr Robert Hawley, chair of the Engineering Council. The Hawley group was established to determine the course the Engineering Council should follow in order to maximise the value of engineering and technology skills in the 21st century economy. It is part of an ongoing process to increase the competitiveness of British industry and make the most of talented engineers and technologists in this country.
