👉 Elected engineering refers to a system where engineers are selected through democratic processes, typically elections, rather than appointments by government officials or industry bodies. This approach aims to ensure that engineering expertise is integrated into policy-making and regulatory frameworks based on merit, public interest, and professional standards. In such systems, engineers are often members of legislative bodies or regulatory commissions, where they can directly influence legislation and oversight related to engineering practices, safety standards, and technological advancements. This method seeks to enhance accountability, transparency, and public trust in engineering by leveraging the technical expertise of professionals while maintaining democratic oversight.
