The Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK) is a professional and learned society established in 1972, dedicated to advancing engineering excellence and professionalism. The private company is based in Nairobi, Kenya. Representing over 9,000 members across diverse engineering disciplines and sectors—including government, industry, consultancy, education, and manufacturing—IEK promotes best practices, continuous professional development, and welfare for engineers. The organization is structured with regional branches and governed by a council that coordinates activities, strategic planning, and national events such as the IEK convention and the African Journal of Engineering Research and Innovation scientific conference. IEK offers comprehensive membership categories with defined application requirements and fee structures, serving as a prerequisite body for engineer registration by the Engineers Registration Board. It provides members with services including seminars, lectures, training programs, arbitration and technical audits, career opportunities, and access to resources like conference papers, engineering design guidelines, manuals, publications, newsletters, and the bi-monthly Kenya Engineer Journal. IEK engages in initiatives such as the review of construction laws to enhance safety and accountability, and promotes adherence to international standards. Its website features governance documents, committee terms of reference, strategic plans, a merchandise store, tenders, a CV repository, and a careers portal.
