To exercise engineering in Kenya and be honored as a mastermind, it’s necessary to register in both the Engineers Board of Kenya( EBK) and the Institution of Engineers of Kenya( IEK). EBK is a non-supervisory body performing from the Masterminds Act 2011 with unequivocal accreditation to regulate the engineering practice in the country.
The board interests itself in all aspects of engineering practice in Kenya, from the delegation of courses at the university position to the nonstop Professional Development( CPD) of masterminds. Included in the board of EBK are four individuals nominated from IEK, including the Chairman of the institution.
IEK, on the other hand, is the learned society of the Engineering Profession in Kenya. The institution aims to forefront the well-being of the occupation and development of the engineering profession in Kenya. The institution has been since 1972, backing masterminds and looking for ways to cover and ameliorate the practice of engineering in Kenya.
The main demand in enrollment is for a graduate mastermind to demonstrate that he has acquired sufficient knowledge and professional capability to work as an engineer
