iet

Iet most commonly refers to the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), a UK-based professional body for engineers and technologists. The organization originated in 2006 from the merger of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) and the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE). It serves as a membership society, standards body, and publisher, with a global presence in engineering and technology communities.

The IET functions to advance engineering knowledge and professional standards. It accredits university degree programs in engineering and technology, and it is a licensed body of the Engineering Council to assess and award professional titles such as Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng), and Engineering Technician (EngTech) on behalf of the council. The IET also produces journals, magazines, and books, and it organizes conferences, events, and policy-oriented activities that connect industry, academia, and government.

Membership is open to practicing engineers, technicians, researchers, and students, with grades that include Student, Member, and Fellow. The IET provides career support, professional development resources, and networking opportunities, along with guidance on ethical practice and technical standards. Its work spans electrical, electronic, software, and information technologies, as well as broader engineering disciplines.

In addition to the IET, the acronym iet can appear in other contexts or organizations depending on the field, but these uses are less common. The primary association for iet in professional engineering discourse is the Institute of Engineering and Technology.
