Katherine
Agong, Senior Transportation Engineer at Cwmbran, has been invited
by Alistair Haydock, Chair of The Chartered Institution of Highways
& Transportation (CIHT) to sit on its newly created Engineering
Professional Standards Panel.
This panel has been created to oversee the routes to
professional registration with the Engineering Council. The Panel
comprises members drawn from areas that can deliver the primary
objectives of the panel. Members of the panel are members of the
institution or co-options from areas that the panel believes
require representation.
Katherine has been included on the panel due to her experience
and commitment to mentoring others and her knowledge and experience
of CIHT’s professional review process. Katherine herself has twice
been through the gruelling professional review process. The first
resulted in her being the first person in Wales and Capita Symonds
to gain Transport Planning Professional (TPP) qualification; the
second resulted in her becoming an Incorporated Engineer
(IEng).
The Engineering Professional Standards Panel will report to the
Membership & Skills Strategy Board and its objectives are
to:
- ensure that CIHT is consistent and compliant with Engineering
Council regulations in its professional review process.
- make recommendations to the Membership & Skills Strategic
Board on professional registration.
- monitor the appeals procedure
- make recommendations to the Membership & Skills Strategic
Board on the
- appointment and initial and on-going training of CEng, IEng and
EngTech reviewers
- develop appropriate arrangements for mentoring CEng, IEng and
EngTech candidates
- advise the Membership & Skills Strategic Board on the
maintenance and extension of Engineering Council licenses, routes
to registration, and representation on EC boards and
committees
- make recommendations to the Membership & Skills Strategic
Board on approval of company training schemes.
Katherine will commence her duties on the CIHT Engineering
Professional Standards Panel in October 2010 by examining the
results of the October professional reviews and make
recommendations to the Membership & Skills Board.
