Dear Reader, With great pleasure I present to you this maiden edition of THE ENGINEER. It heralds the birth of a new dawn that ushers in a joint Journal of the Engineers Registration Board (ERB) and the Uganda Institution of Professional Engineers (UIPE).
The Journal’s Joint Owners

It is established under the Engineers Registration Act (ERA) Cap 271, as a statutory body with a mission to regulate and control engineers and their profession within Uganda.

It was established as an association of Professional Engineers of Uganda in 1972, as a successor to the defunct East Africa Institution of Engineers (EAIE), which had started in 1945.
