Who we are … The Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka established the first overseas chapter in Sydney, New South Wales in 2009 to cater for the engineers residing in New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory. The main objective of the chapter is to provide a forum for professional engineers in NSW Australia, to foster the ideals of the profession while socialising in a friendly professional environment. To achieve this objective, the chapter would organise discussions, training sessions, professional lectures, reward, and recognition, helping community projects through professional services and practicing, promoting and encouraging professional ethics.
