Established in 1818 in London, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is the first professional engineering body in the world. Since obtaining its Royal Charter in 1828, it has expanded considerably and now has more than 95,000 members across the world supporting civil engineers and technicians throughout their careers. ICE awards professional qualifications that are the industry standard, leads the debate around infrastructure and the built environment and provides an unmatched level of training, knowledge and thinking.
