The Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka (IESL) is the oldest multidisciplinary professional engineering institution in Sri Lanka. The IESL has the authority to establish professional registration of Chartered Engineer.
The Engineering Association of Ceylon was formed in 1906 and in 1956, the Institute of Engineers, Ceylon was established by Act No. 17 of 1968. It was later renamed as the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lank and has nearly 17,000 members on its roll as at present.
Its membership falls broadly in to two categories viz., Corporate Members and Non Corporate Members. Corporate Members are also commonly identified as Chartered Engineers. The Corporate Membership of the Institution is awarded through a stringent Professional Review Process to those who are academically qualified in engineering. The aspirants for Corporate Membership need to fulfill certain requirements with regard to their training and the practical experience.
The IESL also has the Provisional Membership of Washington Accord (WA) another international agreement among bodies responsible for accrediting engineering degree programs in their respective countries.
In 2016 the Sri Lankan Universities and the Sri Lanka Engineer's Association (SLEA) have both publicly stated that they were opposed the provisional registration of engineering graduates from IESL Engineering College Pvt. Ltd. (IESLCE) to practice as engineers in Sri Lanka.
