The International Association of Engineers (IAENG) is the largest non-profit international association for all engineers and computer scientists. IAENG was founded by a group of engineers and computer scientists in 1968, originally as a private club network for its founding members. Later, with the efforts from its members, IAENG membership became open to all the members in the engineering and computer science community. Nowadays, the IAENG members include research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, research scientists/engineers, experienced software development directors and engineers, and university postgraduate and undergraduate students etc., from over one hundred different countries.
Our goals are to promote the co-operation between the professionals
in various fields of engineering and to cultivate an environment
for the advancement and development of technology.
