IET - The Institution of Engineering and Technology

We are the IET and we inspire, inform and influence the global engineering community to engineer a better world. With change as the new constant, there’s never been a more important time to create a greater impact.

We are 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.

It’s how we inspire tomorrow’s generation with the advancements of today.

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