The UK

In the UK, the Engineering Council (UK) is the umbrella body for the Engineering Institutions. EC(UK) is established by Royal Charter and controls the award of Chartered Engineer status within the UK. The Royal Academy of Engineering is the national academy for engineering, similar to the Royal Society in science and the British Academy in arts and humanities.
