About the

Ghana Institution of Engineering

GhIE Was “Founded in 1968”

to succeed the Ghana Group of Professional Engineers, as an autonomous professional body with no political affiliation. The Institution derives its authority from the Engineering Council Act 2011, Act 819 and the Professional Bodies Registration Decree NRCD143 of 1973. The late Ing. Dr. E. Sackey became its first President.

ingenuity and strength, both attributes required in engineering to solve problems of mankind.The GhiE logo also symbolises the unity of all the disciplines of engineering viz Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical,Agricultural,Marine, Mining, Computer, Biomedical etc The Logo remains relevant in this era of the world wide web which has transformed the practice of engineering.
By the kind courtesy of the Water Resources Research Institute, the GhlE was housed in their premises. The vision to own a building befitting the status of the GhlE was kept alive from leadership to leadership till 1997, when the GhIE became one of the first Professional bodies in Ghana to move into its own building at No.13 Continental Road, Roman Ridge, Accra. With its secretariat in place, the GhIE expanded its career development in all fields of Engineering, Management, and Education by organizing workshops, seminars, short courses and as a facilitator in research work for its members and the general public.
