ABOUT IEM
The Association was created by these wise and visionary men who advocated that only qualified Engineers should provide the engineering service to protect the society.
The period 1964 to 1966 with Roland Desmarais, as President of the Institution and who was a long serving General Manager of the Central Electricity Board, saw a lot of activities aimed at seeking legal status for the Association -The Association changed its name to "The Association of Professional Engineers of Mauritius' on 28th January 1965. Hon, Robert Rey (MLA for Moka) took a bill through the Legislative Assembly in an attempt to obtain legal status for the Association.
The Legislative Assembly opted for the creation of an independent authority or Council for registering Professional Engineers, Thus the "Council of Registered Professional Engineers", commonly known to engineers as C.R.P.E, was born. The relevant Ordinance was promulgated on 1st July 1966. The Institution has remained an association of professional engineers, by choice, whereas the Council of Registered Professional Engineers is the body authorised to approve qualifications, leading to registration as Professional Engineers, and to register the holders of such qualification subject to their also meeting the experience requirements.. If at all the Institution has to intervene at the level of the Council it does so through its two representatives on the council of the C.R.P.E.
On 1st December 1978 the Association adopted a new constitution and changed its name, once again, Into 'The Institution of Engineers (Mauritius) "
IEM, as an institution is involved at National Level having representatives on the Boards of various institutions such as the Central Electricity Board , the Mauritius Standard Bureau, the University of Mauritius , the council of the C.R.P.E, The MSB Council and sub committees, The CDIB and other Councils.
