IAENG Laureates

The International Association of Engineers (IAENG) is the largest non-profit international association for all engineers and computer scientists. IAENG was founded by a group of engineers and computer scientists in 1968, originally as a private club network for its founding members. Later, with the efforts from its members, IAENG membership became open to all the members in the engineering and computer science community.  Nowadays, the IAENG members include research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, research scientists/engineers, experienced software development directors and engineers, and university postgraduate and undergraduate students etc., from over one hundred different countries. Our goals are to promote the co-operation between the professionals in various fields of the engineering and to cultivate an environment for the advance and development of the technology.

Quick IAENG Facts:

The IAENG has (updated on February 28, 2023):

More than 210,000 IAENG members
More than 300 IAENG editorial board members (EL, IJCS, IJAM)
More than 1000 IAENG congress co-chairs and committee members (IMECS, WCE, WCECS)
16 IAENG Societies
44 IAENG conferences and workshops

 

The International Association of Engineers have been organizing the following awards for the exceptionally distinguished computer scientists, engineering scientists and engineers. The co-chairs and committee members of our association have taken part in the voting for the Laureates of the Awards.
