The Institution of engineers (India) is a premier engineering professional body in India established in 1920. IEI is the founder member of the World Energy Council (WEC)- 1924, Common Wealth Engineers Council –1946, World Federation of Engineering Organization (WFEO), World Mining Congress (WMC), Federation International de la Precontrainte (FIP), International Institution for production Engineering Research.
In landmark achievement, The Institution of Engineers (India) obtained the full membership of the Engineers Mobility Forum (EMF) for India at the Bi-annual international Engineers meetings 2009held at Kyoto. Japan on 17th June2009.The Engineers Mobility Forum Agreement is an international recognition Agreement of Professional Engineers between the engineering organizations in the member jurisdictions, which creates the frame work for the establishment of an international standard of competence for professional engineering and then empowers each member organization to establish a section of the international Professional Engineers (Int PE)Register.
Each member organization operates a national section of the International Professional Engineers (IntPE) Register. Engineers on this international Register receive credit when seeking registration or license in the jurisdiction of another member organization. The Engineers certified by IEI as professional engineer(PE)IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL NORMS WOULD ACQUIRE FREE MOBILITY TO PRACTICE ENGINEERING IN THE EMF Member countries. (Australia,Canada,ChineseTaipei,Hongkong,India,Ireland,Japan,KoreaMalaysia,NewZealand,SouthAfrica,Srilanka, United Kingdom and United States of America) They will be entitled to use the post-nominal title IntPE(India) indicating their international status.
All eligible Indian engineers can now apply for Professional Engineer (PE) certification through IEI only. A rigorous assessment of the Continuous Professional Development (CPD), passing the Assessment Examination and the Peer Review form the part of the PE certification process. A major emphasis on CPD, which can be accrued through participation in Seminars, writing and presenting technical papers, etc helps in keeping engineers updated and professionally in date. The institution of Engineers India, with its 99 centers in India and abroad, provides excellent facilities for CPD to engineers in general and aspiring professional Engineers in particular.
With the IEI BECOMING PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL Agreement on Mobility, The Indian Professional Engineers would be readily acceptable for practice in foreign countries on one hand, and a system of for quality certification of incoming engineers would be easily available for employers. Additionally, the Professional Engineers certified as per international standards would also command higher recognition in the market.
