ENGINEERING DIVISIONS OF THE INSTITUTION
In order to fulfil its basic objective through synthesizing
an amalgam of academic and practical expertise, the Institution has grouped its
members into several 'Engineering Divisions' according to the discipline of their
expertise. The Institution now has fifteen 'Engineering Divisions' as mentioned
alongside.
These Divisions have the mandate to devote their efforts,
individually or jointly with one or more other Divisions, towards search for new
knowledge and product technologies within their respective or an inter-disciplinary
domain. These Divisions are directed to take active steps to establish a close liaison
between the Institution, its members and the policy-makers.
In order to broaden and strengthen the services of the Institution
to the technical community and to the public as well, these Divisions are also directed
to actively encourage research and developmental programmes through various promotional
aids, such as Lectures, Seminars, Symposia, Workshops and other educational programmes
of the like and also the publications aimed at the dissemination of research results,
in addition to extending technical consultancy and advisory services.
The Council of the Institution has also constituted various 'Division Boards' with
the members of the Council as the members of these Division Boards according to
their attachment to the various Divisions, and one of the members of a Division
Board is nominated as the Chairman of that particular Division Board. The objectives
of these Division Boards are to develop a closer and more effective relationship
amongst practicing engineers and those in the academia, to maintain and expand the
competence of the members on subjects of identified priorities, and to encourage
the members and other engineers to participate in deliberations and actions devoted
to the welfare of the engineering fraternity.
