The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)

We’re a diverse home for engineering and technology throughout the world, from those developing skills in new engineering capabilities to those perfecting established skills.

This breadth and depth means we are uniquely placed to help the sector progress society. Whether generating new knowledge, sharing academic thinking, making connections that inspire, or turning theory into practice, we lead our profession to make better sense of the world in order to solve the challenges that matter.

It also gives us a particular view of how the profession is changing and ensures we grow our members professionally and intellectually. It informs the standards we set so society has the confidence it needs. It provides the evidence to keep engineering at the top of the political agenda, and the insight to preserve the teaching of essential STEM subjects.

We lead our profession to make better sense of the world to solve the challenges that matter.

It’s why we are the IET and why we champion engineering.
