Commonwealth Engineers' Council

Welcome to the site of the Commonwealth Engineers' Council, representing engineers and engineering organisations across the Commonwealth. Please sign up to receive our news, and become a member if you are interested in getting involved further. We are expanding our activities and reach and this is a great time to join us. Find out more, and join us here.

Who We Are
The Commonwealth Engineers' Council is a global network whose aim is to advance the science, art and practice of engineering for the benefit of humankind.   Engineering is at the heart of social and economic development and as engineers we recognise our responsibility and the importance of working closely with other professions and with the engineering community at large.

CEC has created a Briefing Note for CHOGM which can be seen here. 

Relaunch of BEPIC
​On World Environment Day 2024, Commonwealth associations representing architects, engineers, planners and surveyors have relaunched the ‘Built Environment Professionals in the Commonwealth’ (BEPIC), a voluntary collaboration that aims to advance advocacy, capacity building and climate action in response to the global challenges posed by climate change and rapid urbanisation.
The collaboration also responds to the findings of the Survey of the Built Environment Professions in the Commonwealth, published in 2020, which identified:
  1. That there is a critical lack of capacity in a number of Commonwealth countries, many of which are urbanising rapidly and are among the most vulnerable.
  2. That there is a corresponding lack of educational and institutional capacity to grow the profession fast enough in a number of Commonwealth countries.
  3. That there is a perceived weakness in built environment policy in many Commonwealth countries in terms of standards, implementation, and enforcement.​
BEPIC members include the Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA), the Commonwealth Association of Planners (CAP), the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy (CASLE) and the Commonwealth Engineers’ Council (CEC). Read more here.
