Engineering institutions discuss merger
Engineering institutions discuss merger
Keywords IIE, IIExE
Merger talks have commenced between two major organisations which together represent the professional interests of incorporated engineers and engineering technicians across the full spectrum of engineering - The Institution of Incorporated' Engineers (IIE) and The Institution of Incorporated Executive Engineers (IIExE).
A joint working group has been established to advise the councils of both institutions on the way forward and to develop firm proposals for presentation to their memberships.
Earlier this year, IIE was formed by the amalgamation of the three former organisations The Institution of Electronics and Electrical Incorporated Engineers, The Institution of Mechanical Incorporated Engineers and The Institute of Engineers and Technicians. It has attracted widespread attention as an important new force in the engineering profession, representing the roles and values of the incorporated engineer and the engineering technician.
