We were formed by the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) and the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) and now have more than 150,000 members worldwide. We are the largest professional engineering society in Europe and the second largest of our type in the world. We have offices in London, Beijing and Hong Kong, with a new office in Bangalore which opened in late 2006. We represent the profession of electrical, electronic, manufacturing and systems engineering and related sciences and act as the voice of the profession in matters of public concern and assist Government to make the public aware of technological issues. We set standards of qualifications for professional electrical, electronics, software, systems and manufacturing engineers; accredit degree courses in relevant subjects at universities and colleges around the world; accredit professional development schemes for engineering graduates; and award scholarships, grants and prizes. We also issue regulations and take a leading part in the formulation of national and international standards to ensure best practice within our industry sectors.
