An Engine for Change - A Chronicle of the Engineering Council

188A CHRONICLE OF THE ENGINEERING COUNCILWhat If …?The successes and partial successes outlined above indicate, in the opinion of the authors ofthis Chronicle, a substantial and creditable contribution by the EngC to the nationalengineering scene and to the development of the engineering profession. But “What If…?”What If..? Such a wealth of uncertainty is conjured up by that phrase. We extend every bestwish to the ETB; but what if, in the later years of the EngC, as much effort as was put into theestablishment of the ETB had, instead, been invested into the full implementation of theMOU and in reinforcing successful ventures, such as the ECRO, WISE, YEB, SARTOR,Neighbourhood Engineers and Industry Affiliates? Then who knows what benefits wouldhave flowed to the profession, to engineering education and to industry in the UnitedKingdom.We leave you with that thought.© Engineering Council UK 2004
