The Institution of Engineers Singapore
Information
The Institution of Engineers, Singapore was formally established on
July 1966 as the national society of engineers in Singapore. IES is
the premier engineering Institution in Singapore and is often
called upon by the Government to provide feedback on professional
engineering matters. IES is well represented among the faculty
members of the major engineering institutions of higher learning in
Singapore. Through close collaboration with the local universities
and polytechnics, IES organizes courses, seminars and talks for
engineers and IES members to advance the continuous development of
engineers. The Institution maintains close links with professional
organizations of engineers regionally and throughout the world.
These include organisations in Australia, China, Japan, United
Kingdom and the United States. The Institution also represents
Singapore in the World Federation of Engineering Organisations
(WFEO), ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organisations (AFEO) and
the Federation of Engineering Institutions of Asia and the Pacific
(FEIAP) in promoting goodwill and fellowship among all engineers in
the region and internationally. Through its Engineering
Accreditation Board (EAB), IES obtained full signatory status in
the Washington Accord (WA) in June 2006. The entry grants IES the
authority to represent Singapore, the first country within the
ASEAN region which has obtained full signatory status in the WA, to
vet education systems under the WA mutual recognition framework. To
raise the technical competencies of engineers in Singapore and
promote engineering to the community, IES has introduced the
Chartered Engineer Programme, World Engineers Summit and National
Engineers Day. IES will not rest on its laurels and will seek to
bring the engineering profession greater recognition and raise the
status of engineers both locally and internationally through closer
collaboration with its stakeholders and contributions to society.
