Ghana: 108 Engineers Inducted Into Professional Body

One hundred and eight engineers have been inducted into the Institution of Engineering Technology, a body of engineering professionals in the West African nation, Ghana.

The induction ceremony was officiated by His Lordship Justice George Koomson, a High Court judge.

The institution of engineering technology was established some thirty -three years ago by a group made up of various classes of engineering and technology professionals who were collectively bound by a commitment for more dividend in their professional and career development.

The institution has since then been preoccupied with the attainment of these, having metamorphosed from the then Ghana Institution of Technician Engineers into the Ghana Institution of Incorporated Engineers before assuming the name I E.T in 2008.

In an address, the President of I.E.T, Eng. Eric Atta-Sonno, who touted the progress of the institution said the inductees should see themselves as coming to join forces with others to ensure the continuous growth of the institution.

Eng. Atta -Sonno used the occasion to inform the inductees the inauguration of Board of the Engineering Council of Ghana.

He explained that the council is working hard to have the engineering regulations approved by the executive and passed into law as a legislative instrument.

“The LI would ensure that the Engineering Council Act 819 of 2011 is given the needed teeth to bite and ensure the practice of engineering and technology continue to do so with the highest possible standards in their professional practice of engineering and technology,” he said.

He charged the inductees to be of good conduct, assuring them that I.E.T would ensure that members adhere to the code of ethics of the professional.
