The Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK) is the learned society of the engineering profession and co-operates with national and other international institutions in developing and applying engineering to the benefit of humanity. (See our website http://www.iekenya.org).
The institution was first established as the East Africa Association of Engineers on 19th January, 1945 in the Boardroom of the Chamber of Commerce, Portal Street, Nairobi.
It served the East African countries until November 1972 when at a meeting in Nairobi, it was agreed functions of the division serving Kenya be transferred to a new body, the Institution of Kenya as it is today.
