More details from petition creator
Anyone in the UK can call themselves an "engineer".
I think that this should be protected in law in the same way as an architect or medical doctor is.
This would mean that engineers are only those registered with the Engineering Council (e.g. Chartered Engineer).
This should be in parallel with ensuring that only registered engineers can work on certain things in line with professional qualification and experience along the lines that of the legally protected reservoir engineer.
Finally, it would mean that the final approval to any engineering process would require a registered engineer of whichever level reflected the process.
