ieih.com The Institution of Engineers of Ireland;The Institution of Engineers of Ireland (Irish: Cumann na nInnealtóirí) or the IEI, is the second oldest engineering society in the British Isles established in 1835 and currently representing over 21,000 members, primarily in Ireland, the institution accepted its current legal name in 1969 by an Act of the Oireachtas. Membership of the institution is open to individuals based on academic and professional background and is separated into grades in accordance with criteria, including the Chartered Engineer and European Engineer titles. On October 13, 2005 the institution adopted the operating name Engineers Ireland in an attempt to reduce any confusion over what the abbreviation IEI means, and as a substitute for its current legal title which is often considered unwieldy. The new operating name will have no effect to the legal name of the institution which was introduced in 1969, by law. |
