International Equivalence - NPOV issues

Does anybody else think the International Equivalence section sounds a little non-neutral? Specifically, it says Although the Engineering Council (UK) now requires an undergraduate master's-level qualification for Chartered Engineer registration, the other Washington Accord signatories have not raised the level of qualification (it remains at the bachelor's degree-level see Engineers Australia ) , implying that the requirement in Australia is less than in the UK.

This is despite the change to require a 4-year MEng, made by the Engineering Council (UK), bringing them up to the 4-year (BEng) standard of Australia and I believe North America.

Degree Lengths

MEng degrees accredited for CEng are 4 or 5 years in length in England and 5 or 6 years in Scotland. BEng degrees are 3 or 4 years in England and 4 or 5 in Scotland. It it technically incorrect to say that the requirement for CEng is a 3-year degree (only). The correct terminology is bachelor's degree and master's degree, regardless of length. Someone keeps changing this to the shorter degrees.

A quick check of the Engineering Council website will verify this.

Engineering Council

The Engineering Council is no longer called the Engineering Council UK

Incorporated Engineer

Someone keep entering information about Incorporated Engineer. IEng has its own Wiki page

Engineering Regulation

Engineering is regulated in the UK, however, it is not licensed. To say professional engineering is not regulated is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.35.23.40 (talk) 11:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained Abbreviations

The page says: "Designation as a PE in the U.S. or PEng in Canada is a licence to practise based upon core qualification elements of technical practice and education."

But it does not explain what a PE or a PEng is, or link to any explanation. It's also not clear what the relevance of the sentence is to the subject of the article, since there's no other explanatory material. Either the relationship of this sentence to Chartered Engineering needs explaining or the sentence should be removed as irrelevant.
