The Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) on Wednesday called on all engineering practitioners to participate in the 2014 Universum professionals survey to be launched on Thursday.

ECSA noted that while, in 2013, about 10 830 professionals across various industries in South Africa responded to the Universum survey, only 2 182 of these were engineering professionals registered with ECSA.

For the 2014 survey, ECSA aimed to have at least 10 000 responses from its registered-persons’ database and unregistered engineering practitioners to ensure that a more accurate perspective of the issues that affect engineers as employers and employees could be presented.

“Engineering practitioners are, therefore, urged to let their individual voices be heard by taking part in the yearly survey.  This is the only research of its kind in South Africa that addresses the conditions of employment for the profession,” ECSA acting CEO Edgar Sabela said.

He stated that as engineering practitioners played a key role in South Africa’s economic and infrastructure development it was important that their professional expectations were gathered and used to make positive changes that would have a lasting impact in the profession.

Once the survey had been completed, the results would be made available to ECSA’s registered engineering practitioners through email.
