Abstract
This is not only an inventory of organisations of different sorts, but also an evaluation of their importance for the individual engineers. The world-wide meta-organisation of engineers (i.e., with organisations and not individuals as their members), WFEO FROM 1965, and the European meta-organisation FEANI (from 1951), may be influential, the former on questions of environment, the latter on European coordination of educational values, but ordinary engineers hardly met them in their work. The new national organisations were more common-place, and they often articulated political ideologies and goals. The fascist take-over of professional organisations in Italy, and the corresponding development in Nazi-Germany, showed that professional power was not politically harmless.

www.imech.org presents membership conditions and organisational structure of the Institution (03.02.2010). The Institution of Electrical Engineers has merged with the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) in 2006 to The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) (www.theiet.org) which is no longer only a British institution but claims to be worldwide (03.02.2010).
