 History

In 1912, some leading Chinese engineers, recognizing the importance of combining the concerted efforts to develop our country and build the future, joined together and formed the Chinese Institute of Engineers as a pioneer institute in Kuang Chou, China.

The Institute grew steadily over the next two decades until the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, which led to the suspension of the institute affairs. In October 1938, the General Assembly of CIE revived in Chungking, China and then moved to Taipei, Taiwan in March 1951.

Since then, the Institute has thrived and played a major role in national development and promoting the prosperity of Taiwan’s economy and society.
