HKIIE History

Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE)

Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) was a multidisciplinary engineering institution in the United Kingdom. In 2006 it merged with the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) to form the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

History
Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) traces its heritage to the Vulcanic Society that was founded in 1884. This society became the Junior Institution of Engineers in 1902, which became the Institution of General Technician Engineers in 1970 and the Institute of Mechanical and General Technician Engineers (IMGTechE) in 1976. In 1982 the IMGTechE and Institution of Technician Engineers in Mechanical Engineering (ITEME) merged to form the Institution of Mechanical Incorporated Engineers (IMechIE).

Institution of Technician Engineers (ITE) was found in UK in 1965. Formerly known as ITE, the Institution of Electrical and Electronic Incorporated Engineers (IEEIE) and the Society of Electronic and Radio Technicians (SERT) merged in 1 April 1990 to form the Institution of Electronics and Electrical Incorporated Engineers (IEEIE).

The IIE was formed in 1 April 1998 by the merger of the IMechIE , the IEEIE and The Institute of Engineers and Technicians (IET). In 1999 The Institution of Incorporated Executive Engineers (IIExE) merged with the IIE.

On 11 April 2001, the IIE was granted the Royal Charter by her Majesty the Queen acting through the Privy Council. The IIE had the authority to establish professional registration of engineers (Chartered Engineer or Incorporated Engineer) through the Engineering Council.

In 2005 The Society of Engineers also merged with the IIE.

Before the merger with IEE, the IIE had approximately 40,000 members. On 26 April 2006, the date marked the end of the IIE and her overseas centres.

香港實務工程師學會（HKIIE）歷史

實務工程師學會（IIE）

英國實務工程師學會（Institution of Incorporated Engineers，簡稱IIE）是一個多種工程學科的學會。在2006年，它與英國電機工程師學會（Institution of Electrical Engineers，簡稱IEE）合併，共同成立了英國工程與技術學會（Institution of Engineering and Technology，簡稱IET）。

歷史

英國實務工程師學會（IIE）的歷史可以追溯到1884年成立的火山協會(Vulcanic Society)。該社團於1902年改組為工程師初級學會(Junior Institution of Engineers)，並於1970年更名為通用技術工程師學會(Institution of General Technician Engineers)，隨後於1976年改為機械與通用技術工程師學會(Institute of Mechanical and General Technician Engineers)（IMGTechE）。1982年，IMGTechE與機械工程技術工程師協會(Institution of Technician Engineers in Mechanical Engineering)（ITEME）合併，共同成立了機械工程師學會(Institution of Mechanical Incorporated Engineers)（IMechIE）。

透過工程委員會建立工程師專業註冊（特許工程師或實務工程師）。

2005 年，工程師協會也與 IIE 合併。

在與 IEE 合併之前，IIE 擁有約 40,000 名會員。 2006 年 4 月 26 日，這一天標誌著 IIE 及其海外中心的結束。

香港實務工程師學會（HKIIE）

香港實務工程師學會（HKIIE）是一個於1997年由一群特許工程師及實務工程師組成的多種工程學科學會，旨在維護學會的願景和使命。該學會位於香港，致力於促進和提升工程師的專業發展。
