The Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka, Victoria Chapter (IESL Vic Chapter) was formally enacted in 2017 in association with the Association of Sri Lankan Engineers Australia (ASLEA), a well-established and long-standing professional association serving engineers of Sri Lankan origin in Victoria, Australia.
The purpose of the chapter is to provide a forum for professional engineers in Victoria to foster the ideals of the profession encompassing the characteristics and values enshrined in the vision and mission statements of the Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL) as well as the laws governing the State of Victoria and The Commonwealth of Australia, while socialising in a professional and cordial environment in collaboration with ASLEA. A mechanism has been established that allows a collaborative working relationship and guidelines to achieve the objectives of ASLEA and IESL Vic Chapter.
Where applicable, these objectives will be achieved by;
- Discussion and dissemination of ideas
- Training and coaching
- Helping the community projects through professional engineering methods
- Practising, promoting, and encouraging professional ethics
- Exchange of ideas with the parent body and other IESL Chapters
- Collaboration with other professional bodies.
By virtue of its position, the chapter, could be of help to;
- Engineers migrating to Australia from Sri Lanka
- Students coming from Sri Lanka to study Engineering in Australia
- IESL in expanding the member base in Australia
- Chapter members in acquiring services from the parent body.
