title: Drive for EngTech registration continues.
abstract: While Engineering Technicians play a key role in the development and implementation of new engineering technologies, and in the design and construction of high quality, safe, and environmentally compliant buildings, the Engineering Council says under one per cent of all such UK professional personnel are currently registered at EngTech level. It has thus launched a campaign to promote registration among the almost 1.2 million potential technicians that it believes are eligible. Backed by the Professional Engineering Institutes (PEIs), including IHEEM, the Project TRaM (Technician Registration and Membership) initiative was recently given added impetus via an independent Engineering Council-commissioned survey which sought to discover why registration levels are so low, and what benefits would persuade technician engineers to seek registration. Kevin Dinnage, TRaM project manager, at the Engineering Council, reports.
