About the Institution of Engineers:
The Institution of Engineers (Singapore, IES) was formally established in 1966. 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. 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. 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.
IES emphasizes the core values of integrity, professionalism, passion and social responsibility. It is devoted to promote the sustainable development of engineers and promote the scientific, humanistic and professional development in the engineering field.
