Peruvian Engineers Association, Professional engineering collegium in Lima, Peru.
The Colegio de Ingenieros del Perú is a professional association created on 8 June 1962 by Law No. 14086, grouping Peruvian engineers. Its national council sits at Avenida Arequipa 4947 in the Miraflores district of Lima, and the organisation is made up of 28 departmental councils grouped into three institutional zones.
The association was founded in 1962 with the goal of bringing together the engineering professions under a single national framework. Over the following decades, it became the main authority for setting and enforcing professional standards across all engineering disciplines in Peru.
The name Colegio de Ingenieros del Perú was proposed at the First National Engineering Conference in 1932, organized by the Sociedad de Ingenieros del Perú. The initiative stalled for three decades until engineer Enrique Martinelli, then a senator, and the society's board secured its creation. The association now groups engineers through 28 departmental councils.
The national headquarters sits at Avenida Arequipa 4947 in the Miraflores district, south of downtown Lima, not in the city centre. It is a professional body's office rather than a site with public visiting hours, so enquiries about access should go to the Consejo Nacional. The organisation's work is carried out through 28 departmental councils grouped into three institutional zones.
Membership in this association is not optional for engineers in Peru but a legal requirement to practice the profession. Without a valid membership card, an engineer cannot officially sign off on projects or work as a licensed professional in the country.
