Legislate for statutory regulation and protection of the title "Engineer"

Summary

Legislate to protect and regulate the title of "Engineer". Make it so you can only call yourself an engineer with a degree level qualification from an accredited institution. Currently anyone can call themselves an engineer without any qualification. We think that this is not only a misuse of the word, but also that it: 1. Limits the professional earning potential of actual engineers 2. Negatively affects industry respect for degree educated engineers in the UK 3. Deters young people from going to university for the purpose of pursuing a career in engineering The term is protected in multiple countries across the world and should be in the UK too.
