We are the IET, and we inspire, inform and influence the global engineering and technology community to engineer a better world. As one of the world's largest professional bodies, we are a diverse, multi-disciplinary, home looking across engineering and technology and supporting 157,000 members in 148 countries. We share knowledge that helps make better sense of the world in order to solve the challenges that matter. It’s why we are uniquely placed to champion engineering and technology. As a registered charity, our purpose is to ‘promote the general advancement of science, engineering and technology and to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas on these subjects amongst the members of IET and otherwise’. The IET, its members and volunteers, work across industry, academia, government and society supporting technology innovation to meet the needs of society.
