What is The Institution of International Professional Engineers
(IIPE)?
The Institution of International Professional
Engineers (IIPE) was formed by the Life members of The Society of Professional
Engineers (International) who are former International members of The Society of
Professional Engineers (UK) which was merged with The
Institution of Engineering and Technology and then the ownership was
transferred to The Engineering Council of UK.
The international members of The Society of Professional Engineers (UK) who did not agree to
merging of The Society of Professional Engineers (UK) with The Institution of
Engineering and Technology to give up their PEng
designations without seeking the voting of the International Members of The
Society of Professional Engineers (UK) which composed of the majority of the
membership of The Society of Professional Engineers (UK) organized themselves to
establish The Society of Professional Engineers (UK and International) to
maintain their PEng designations in 2018 firstly.
As they believe that they have the rights to retain their
Professional Engineers Status without any force, effect and influence by the Law of UK, The Society of
Professional Engineers (UK and International) was changed to the new name “The
Society of Professional Engineers (International) and then establish The
Institution of International Professional Engineers (IIPE) which is an
International Professional Engineers Organization in which all Professional
Engineers around the world can participate on equal footing and which is independent
of the authority of any country to possess Professional Engineer
(International) or
PEng (International) Neither PEng(UK) nor PEng.
Background Information
The Society of Professional Engineers (International)
(The Society of Professional Engineers -SPE) was established the United Kingdom in 1969, to promote the interests of
skilled engineers in all the main branches of Engineering.
The main objective of the Society is to
enhance the status of trained and experienced professional engineers in the
absence in the UK of any legal protection for the title "Engineer".
The founding members believed that this was necessary, as "Engineer" can be used by anyone in the UK, whether or not trained or
experienced. This remains a priority for the Society.
The Society created and maintains a
Register of Engineers who
can demonstrate knowledge and competence in engineering. Applicants who meet
the Society's criteria for membership may use the designation "P.Eng"..
The Society of Professional Engineers
traces its origins to the Society of Engineers, which was founded
in 1854 as a learned society.[1] On 27 October,
1969, a number of the Society of Engineers' Corporate members formed the
Society of Professional Engineers. (The original Society of Engineers was
integrated in 2005 into the Institution of Incorporated Engineers, itself merging with the Institution of Electrical Engineers in 2006 to form the Institution of Engineering and
Technology, the
biggest professional engineering body in Europe).
The Society is a Company Limited by
Guarantee, registered in England, and its Memorandum and Articles of
Association were approved by the UK Government's former Department of
Trade and Industry, now Department for Business, Innovation
and Skills. Its
legal objects are:[2]
- To promote the high standards of
expertise and professionalism in the practice of engineering, for the
benefit of those members of the general public who have need to avail
themselves of the services of engineers.
- To promote the development of
inventions and improvements in the practice of engineering and to
disseminate information on matters affecting the practice of engineering
so as to bring the results of research and considerations of good practice
into the public domain.
- To promote improvements in the
laws relating to matters of engineering practise
so that members of the public may be better able to rely on the highest
standards of advice and practise in those who
purport to be professional engineers.
The Society
keeps a register of persons who
subscribe to the Society and who, in the
eyes of the Society, 'have proved their competence and can be accurately
described as Professional Engineers', awarding them the 'PEng
MSPE' (member) or 'PEng FSPE' (fellow) designation
according to qualifications and experience Getting in is tough, but can prove
rewarding if trying to excel in areas such as proving an invention.
In 2018 April, when The Society of
Professional Engineers UK merged with Institution of Engineering and
Technology, the international members of SPE-UK establish the Society of
Professional Engineers UK & International and to keep the register of
International Professional Engineers and their designations PEng,MSPE(UK
&International) and PEng,MSPE(International)
The society becomes an online society and
collaborates with other international engineering organisations which have the
same objectives.
The Original Logo of The Society of Professional Engineers (UK) is
shown below but The
Society of Professional Engineers UK
& International will no longer use that logo and we are not a new
form of The Society of Professional Engineers (UK) but a New
International Professional Engineers Organization which does not link to The Society of Professional Engineers UK
although we re-organize the former members of The Society of Professional
Engineers UK to retain PEng titles.
Due to our Life Members’ wishes and UK is
also included in International Community, on 8 February 2019, The Society of
Professional Engineers (UK and International) changed its’ name to The Society
of Professional Engineers (International). Our working documents were also changed accordingly.
On 12 February 2019, The Society of
Professional Engineers (International) adopts the name (The Institution of
International Professional Engineers-IIPE).
