22A CHRONICLE OF THE ENGINEERING COUNCILThe creation of the Regional Organisations and of the annual Engineering Assembly (thisfinally took place later in 1985, as we shall see in Chapter 3) was considered as a vital link inestablishing the ownership that individual engineers could feel for the Engineering Council. Ithad always to be borne in mind that Registrants’ Fees (£3 for CEng £2 for TEng and £1forEngTech in 1984) accounted for a substantial part of EngC income.The Register and CommunicationsThe first publication to be sold by the EngC, thereby recovering some of its operating costs, ifnot generating a remarkable income, was “The 1983 Survey of Professional Engineers”,taken over from the CEI and made available in September 1983 for £15. This was the ninthbiennial survey undertaken of Chartered Engineers and the fourth of Technician Engineers.The survey was conducted by Remuneration Economics of Surrey, on behalf of the CEI andthe EngC. This publication illustrated that the earnings of qualified engineers had kept pacewith inflation and that their unemployment level was considerably lower than the nationalaverage.On 31 December 1984 the EngC’s Register, now on a Wang computer with an “Ultimate”database capable of providing data in various classifications and formats, contained 281,500registrants comprising 202,000 Chartered Engineers, 61,000 Technician Engineers and18,500 Engineering Technicians. The great majority of these had transferred from the oldCEI system, though some had joined Institutions that were not part of the CEI but hadsubsequently become an integral part of the EngC. But now all registrants had a secure“home” that significantly recorded their addresses on centrally-held lists thanks to the sterlingefforts of Bob Bish, Registration Executive and Brian Senior, Deputy Director, ProfessionalInstitutions. Remarkably enough for a new computer system, the installation and operationwere virtually fault-free thanks to the careful selection of a contractor. The numbers ofRegistrants, together with some leading financial data over succeeding years, are tabulated inFig. 3. Fig. 3a shows total registration numbers while Fig. 3b shows the numbers ofRegistrants per Institution. Fig. 3c gives an annual sequence of income and expenditure.The completion of the Register enabled the first issue of the EngC’s Newsletter to bepublished and distributed in April 1985 to all Registrants. The headline “Forward We GoTogether” was expanded by Kenneth Miller in an article by him on the front page,anticipating the first meeting of the elected Engineering Assembly to be held that September.It is difficult now for us to visualise the methods employed in the mid-1980s to record andmaintain even sparse data on individuals, and prepare simple labels with mere names andaddresses. But such mundane tasks for over 280,000 registered engineers and technicianswere regarded as an achievement in those times and the distribution of Newsletter No 1 waspossible only by virtue of the new Register and the EngC’s innovative systems.Interfacing with SchoolsThe Council was very conscious that changing the public’s attitude to engineers would onlyeffectively come about by changes in the education of the nation’s children and this, ofnecessity, would be a long term task measured in decades, not just a few years. MichaelHarrison, a retired Chief Education Officer from Sheffield, was a central figure for theCouncil on the schools’ front, chairing the General Education Committee and using toadvantage his encyclopaedic knowledge of the UK school system.© Engineering Council UK 2004
