PREFACE
The Institution of Engineers (India) (IEI), was established in 1920
and was sanctioned the Royal Charter in 1935, laying down the
principal role of the to be of a learned society promoting the
advancement of the science and practice in different fields of
engineering. The Royal Charter reflects the spirit in which
engineering disciplines are to be pursued.
An urgent need was felt to evolve the IEI Vision to promote an
environment to enable ethical pursuits of professional excellence
for engineering fraternity in the country so as to provide
leadership for serving the humanity in an inclusive manner. IEI
Vision Document emphasises on 'functional areas' and 'key result
actions' to fulfil the obligations specified in the objectives under the
Royal Charter.
The IEI Vision Document has been formulated for the first time in
the history of IEI. This task could be accomplished by sincere and
hard work by the Strategic Plan Committee under the
Chairmanship of Mr. N.C. Vaish, Past President, IEI and other
eminent contributors as recorded on the facing page. I would also
like to recognize the effort of Mr. Pradeep Chaturvedi, the IEI
Council Member in drafting the IEI Vision. I would also like to
thank all the Council Members for finalising and approving "IEI
Vision".
I have pleasure in presenting the IEI Vision to all our members and
the engineering fraternity.

INTRODUCTION
The Institution of Engineers (India) (IEI), the premier professional body of engineers in India, has contributed significantly in all faculties of engineering and all sectors of applications like academics, administration, industry, infrastructure and consultancy. IEI has been functioning under the objectives laid down in the Royal Charter, sanctioned in 1935, and has contributed to the national socio-techno-economic development policies.
First ever attempt for formulating a 'Strategic Plan' for IEI was made in 1994. It has taken 20 years since then to concretize and evolve the IEI Vision. In 2012 the IEI Council approved and adopted the 10 Year Strategic Plan for 2012-22 to coincide with 12th and 13th Five Year Plans.
The Strategic Plan mandated IEI to develop its Vision Document. I had the privilege to be given the task of preparing the Draft of IEI Vision, which has now been approved and adopted by the IEI Council. IEI Vision Document is based on the Strategic Plan approved by the Council. The idea to develop this document is to concretize and present a Vision for the future so that the members accept to ethically follow the approved road map for development.
The Vision Document is based on the present and future global sustainable development approach and the profile of the professional engineers to respond to those needs. The Vision of IEI includes the Road Map for attaining the Vision in terms of Mission, Objectives, Strategies, Functions and Ethical Behaviour. This document presents the IEI Vision to overcome the challenges of the next decade and ensure sustainable development. Eleven different Key Actions have been identified to ensure successful transformation. IEI Vision supports ethical behaviour in pursuit of professional excellence by the engineering fraternity to be in a position to serve and improve the quality of life in more areas of the world with their services.
The Vision Document emerged out of serious and repeated consultations by the Strategic Plan Committee under the Chairmanship of Mr. N.C. Vaish, Past President, IEI. Mr. Ashok Basa, President, IEI, took the initiative to get approval of the Council for the document and organise its publication urgently.
Maj Gen (Retd) R.K. Sanan, VSM, Secretary and Director General, IEI and the Member Secretary of the Committee, provided crucial and important inputs and support from the Secretariat.

PREAMBLE
The Royal Charter, granted in 1935, lays
down the principal role of the IEI to be a
learned society promoting the advancement
of the art, science and practice in different
fields of engineering. The Royal Charter
reflects the spirit in which engineering
disciplines are to be pursued. Interpretation
of the Royal Charter needs to be understood
in different timeframes in evolving language
and interpretation. Functioning of IEI has to
be managed in the ‘spirit’ of the Royal
Charter; and activities need to conform to the
national socio-techno-economic develop-
ment.
To fulfil the obligation under the Royal
Charter, a Strategic Plan was developed to
outline specific actions over the 10 year cycle,
i.e. 2012-2022. The Strategic Plan is a Rolling
Plan and will be reviewed at regular inter-
vals. The Strategic Plan was ‘approved and
adopted’ by the Council of IEI in 2012. The
Strategic Plan coincides with the 12th and
13th Five Year Plans.
‘IEI Vision’ Document is based on the spirit
of the Strategic Plan and incorporates vari-
ous elements of strategies. The Strategic Plan
had laid the ‘road map’ to reflect the
aspirational views of the members. The idea
to develop this document is to concretise and
present a Vision for the future so that the
members accept to ethically follow a com-
mon path or a certain common road map for
development.
‘IEI Vision’ emphasises on the focused
‘functional areas’ and the corresponding
‘key result areas’ to fulfil the obligations
specified by objectives of the Royal
Charter.
The Vision and the Strategic Plan will be
complementary to each other; will directly
act to facilitate leaders to target and guide
their policies, plans, processes and progress
on broad and diversified areas within and
outside the engineering community.
IEI Vision is to promote an environment to
enable ethical ethos and pursuits of profes-
sional excellence for engineering fraternity in
the country so as to provide leadership for
serving the humanity by involving in all
aspects of inclusive development process in
the country.
Global challenge of development is focused
on growth in the developing world wherein
70% of the infrastructure will be created by
2030 and will serve the inclusive growth
and development. At the same times, the
infrastructure in developed world will have
to be updated and strengthened. India is
passing through a peculiar situation that it
has to undertake both the activities of
upgradation and creation of new infrastruc-
ture.
THE CHALLENGE AND POTENTIAL OF
ENGINEERING CONTRIBUTION FOR
DEVELOPMENT
IEI VISION
IEI VISION
lll 7
There has been a focus on employability of
engineers, wherein the perception created is
that employability of graduate engineers is
low. It is nevertheless observed that graduate
engineers are the most employable whether
it is in administrative services, managerial
services, or even legal services, besides the
engineering sectors. Thus, employability of
an engineering graduate opens vast avenues
into different sectors of socio-economic fields
which are not common with other disciplines
of education.
It would suffice to mention the following
examples of current issues and trends
emphasised by experts that reflect ‘chal-
lenges’ and ‘opportunities’ that engineering
and technology have to address :
i) the more need to fully embrace
sustainability in the development
process,
ii) an ever increasing global population
with its continuous shift to urban
areas,
iii) increasing demands for energy, drink-
ing water, clean air, transportation, and
reuse, recycling and safe disposal of
waste,
iv) the globalization of engineering prac-
tice and the desire to attract the best and
brightest to the profession,
v) the need to upgrade quality of
engineering education and research
and development,
vi) the need for more involvement of
engineers in the political process and
national policy making,
vii) the perception of occurrence of corrup-
tion in the global engineering industry
and service sector,
viii) the poor condition or non-existence of
the infrastructure,
ix) the need for creation of employment
and income generation opportunities
for the masses.
The preceding problems and opportunities
will require interdisciplinary, cross-
disciplinary, and multi-disciplinary collabo-
rations on projects, and in research and
development. Further advances in informa-
tion technology promote a global profes-
sional community to focus on the above
mentioned challenges. Therefore, IEI has to
consider strengthening integration of
future engineering community of India
with global communities. The recently
concluded World Economic Forum Summit
at Davos in January 2014, has also focused
on the need for integration of professionals
with the development process.
The engineering profession has to increas-
ingly recognize the reality of shrinking
global resources, the desire for sustainable

practices and design, and the need for global
equity at large in the consumption of
resources. Engineers have helped to raise
global expectations for sustainability and for
environmental stewardship and they have to
deliver now.
Responses at the local, national and interna-
tional levels will generate incremental,
structural and transformational changes.
Achieving these goals and targets for sus-
tainable development requires further
innovative responses at all levels, as replicat-
ing and up-scaling current policies for
sustainability will not suffice. Scenario
studies show that both ‘short-term policy
solutions’ and ‘long-term structural mea-
sures’ are needed to meet the required
targets. Engineering community has to play
an important role and IEI has to get position
on its activities with proper strategies in line
with wider global decisions. However, such
development will need innovation.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
INNOVATIVE RESPONSES
{{Engineers need to focus on
innovation with the aim of
attaining inclusive growth;
with the underlying policy
‘more from less for more’||
INDIA’S THRUST ON INNOVATION
P R O F I L E O F A P R O F E S S I O N A L
ENGINEER
Recognising the importance of innovation,
the President of India declared 2010-2020 as
the ‘Decade of Innovation’ with a focus on
Inclusive Growth. This innovation is already
contributing significantly to the growth of
the economy and dynamism of Industry.
Indian entrepreneurs are developing novel
solutions for the need of Indian consumers
that provide access to services and products
at a fraction of the cost of the solutions avail-
able from industrially advanced countries.
The underlying policy is ‘more from less for
more.’
As IEI develops Strategic Plan and IEI Vision,
it has the opportunity of aligning with
India’s ‘Decade of Innovation’ plan
announced for 2010-2020. Also the Vision
Document needs to align with government
Skills Development Plan for 2022.
Rapid technical progress is altering funda-
mentally the skills, knowledge, infrastruc-
ture and institutions needed for the efficient
production and delivery of goods and ser-
vices. So broad and far-reaching are current
technological developments that we may see
the emergence of another industrial revolu-
tion driven by a new technological ‘para-
digm’. This paradigm involves not only new
technologies and skills in the traditional
sense, but also different work methods,
management techniques.
It is necessary to envision the ‘Profile of the
Engineer’, a practical time frame of a decade.
As IEI looks forward to be knowledge-based,
IEI VISION
lll 9
skills promoting, interactive organisation, it
is necessary to think of the attributes that will
build the profile of a professional engineer.
The ‘attributes’ will conform to spirit the
Vision.
The ‘attributes’ of engineers will consist of
three elements as follows :
knowledge
skill, and
attitude
An understanding of the same is provided in
the following paragraphs.
‘Knowledge’ is largely cognitive and consists
of theories, principles, and fundamentals.
This knowledge is gained through struc-
tured educational programmes followed by
programmes of continuous professional
development, which need to be pursued by
professional engineers throughout their
working life.
IEI Associate Membership Examination
courses must be reviewed from time-to-time
to ensure incorporation of the latest
knowledge in emerging areas of engineering
and technology, e.g. biotechnology,
biomedical engineering, bioinformatics,
renewable energy, environment engineering
dealing with climate change and global
warming, etc.
‘Skill’ refers to the ability to do tasks.
Knowledge helps in developing skill in a
l
l
l
much more effective manner. But, they are
not inter-changeable. Skill development
programme needs to be emphasised not only
for graduate engineers but also for different
levels. This will also include continuous
learning, problem solving, creative thinking,
team work, communication and self-
assessment. Formal education is the primary
source of knowledge, whereas skills are
developed via formal education, focused
training and hands-on experience.
IEI has initiated skills development actions in
collaboration with the Planning Commission,
Government of India and the National Skills
Development Council. Initial action will be
developed into full-fledged programme.
‘Attitude’ reflects an individual’s personality
and determines how he or she perceives,
interprets and approaches the issues of
development. Attitude conducive to effec-
tive professional practices include commit-
ment, curiosity, honesty, integrity, objectiv-
ity, optimism, sensitivity, thoroughness and
tolerance.
Meetings of International Engineers’
Alliance (IEA) regarding Washington
Accord (WA) and Engineers’ Mobility
Forum (EMF) have emphasised on certain
characteristics of knowledge, skill and atti-
tude. The recommendations of Washington
Accord and Engineers Mobility Forum have
been taken into account while developing
this vision document.
IEI Vision is based on utilizing the following
‘strengths’ of IEI and continually improving
capacities to serve the society.
