Dear Members,

The technical session organized along with the Annul Session, can play a significant role for continuous improvement of the

knowledge of our members. This year it comprises three sessions and the topics were selected on the requests made by our

members. We have become fortunate enough to find three prominent gentlemen as presenters and there is no doubt, the

session will be an attractive one.

The technical session is a gathering of people with a common interest or background, with the purposes of allowing them to

meet one another and to learn about and discuss issues, ideas and work that focus on a topic of mutual concern. These

presentations may take the form of lectures, slide shows or films and interactive experience. The presentations tend to be

focused more on practical issues.

Please reserve your seat early to avoid disappoint as there are only 250 seats.

EDITORIAL

THE INSTITUTION OF INCORPORATED

ENGINEERS, SRI LANKA.

27B, UDUMULLA ROAD

BATTARAMULLA, SRI LANKA

The Institution of Incorporated Engineers, Sri Lanka has

been providing CPD programs for engineers and other

professionals interested in their career and personal

development since 2006 under the guidance and

supervision of the CPD committee. The programs were

coordinated by the Education & Training Division of the

IIESL secretariat.

Continuing professional development is important

because it ensures you continue to be competent in your

profession. It is an ongoing process and continues

throughout a professional’s career. The importance of

continuing professional development should not be

underestimated – it is a career-long obligation for

practicing professionals. It is a personal responsibility of

professionals to keep their knowledge and skills current

so that they can deliver the high quality of service that

safeguards the public and meets the expectations of

customers and the requirements of their profession.

As one of the professional institutions of engineering we

have been trying our best to educate engineers and

already we have completed three programs since

January this year. Another program is scheduled to be

started in the last week of April. This is a commendable

achievement of the education and training division. If

you closely monitor, you will notice that there is a

continuous improvement in these programs. Topics to

cover all disciplines of engineering and utilizing good

resource persons will make these programs more

attractive. Our institution has an auditorium with all

facilities at Battaramulla, to conduct such programs.

We must give priority to applicants those who have

followed CPD programs conducted by the institution

when they apply for membership of IIESL or making

compulsory at least one certificate of a CPD program to

offer membership of IIESL.
