Engineering Council’s Role - Regulation
• A spectrum of regulation exists within the wider professions,
ranging from the unregulated (decorators), those with voluntary
codes (such as engineering) through to those with statutory duties
(such as architecture and law).

What is a Professional?
Professional (as defined by Wiki)
• A professional is a member of a vocation founded upon
specialised educationaltraining.
• The word professional traditionally means a person who has
obtained a degree in a professional field.
• The term commonly describes highly educated, mostly salaried
workers, who enjoy considerable work autonomy, a comfortable
salary, and are commonly engaged in creative and intellectually
challenging work. Less technically, it may also refer to a person
having impressive competence in a particular activity.
• Because of the personal and confidential nature of many
professional services and thus the necessity to place a great deal
of trust in them, most professionals are held up to strict ethical
and moral codes of conduct through an appropriate regulatory
mechanism.

What is competence?
The ability to carry out a task to an effective standard
• To become competent a professional engineer must have:
§ underpinning knowledge and understanding
§ skill
§ professional attitude
…….and the ability to apply these to solve engineering problems
• Competence is developed through:
§ a combination of formal and informal learning
§ training
§ experience
…….not necessarily separate, sequential or formally structured
• Professional competence goes beyond graduate competence

What is commitment?
• Complying with codes of conduct
• Managing and applying safe systems of work
• Undertaking engineering activities in a way that contributes to
sustainable development
• Carrying out CPD necessary to maintain and enhance competence
• Actively participating within the profession
• Exercising responsibilities in an ethical manner
