With expansion into Europe and growing international influence, the Engineering Council has dropped the 'UK' from its name. The move is timely as the Council's professional qualifications are receiving increasing recognition abroad as standards of competence.

Andrew Ramsay, Chief Executive Officer of the Engineering Council, says, 'With so much importance being placed on our international activities and the growing interest in our titles from engineers outside the UK, it seemed appropriate to drop the UK part of our name, and to simply become known as the Engineering Council.'

A quarter of engineers registered with the Engineering Council work outside the UK, and professionals holding Engineering Council titles are spread across 45 different countries.
