\nThe 2019 edition of the International Engineering Alliance Meetings (IEAM 2019)<\/a> was hosted in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE)<\/a> at the Crowne Plaza, Hong Kong Kowloon East from 9 to 14 June 2019. <\/p>\n

The International Engineering Alliance (IEA)<\/a> is a global not-for-profit organisation, which comprises members from 37 jurisdictions within 28 countries \/ regions, across seven international accords and agreements. These international agreements govern the recognition of engineering educational qualifications and professional competence.

\nThrough the Educational Accords and Competence Agreements, members of the International Engineering Alliance establish and enforce internationally bench-marked standards for engineering education and expected competence for engineering practice.<\/p>\n

WFEO has a key strategic objective to build capacity for the number and quality of engineers to advance the goals of sustainable development. WFEO has a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with IEA<\/a> and other international engineering organisations involved in engineering education including the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES)<\/a>, the International Centre for Engineering Education (ICEE)<\/a>, a UNESCO Category 2 Centre, based at Tsinghua University and the International Network for Women Engineers and Scientists (INWES)<\/a>.
