Institution of Civil Engineers The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a registered charity that strives to promote and progress civil engineering. www.ice.org.uk

We believe that civil engineers are 'at the heart of society, delivering sustainable development through knowledge, skills and professional expertise.'

With this in mind, we are a qualifying body, a centre for the exchange of specialist knowledge, and a provider of resources to encourage innovation and excellence in the profession worldwide. ICE was founded in 1818 by a small group of idealistic young men. We were granted a royal charter in 1828 where we declared that our aim was to 'foster and promote the art and science of civil engineering'. That is still our aim today. Now the number of members has grown, and the ICE represents 90,000 members worldwide.

Nature’s engineers have been beavering away in west London, and they’re dam good at their job.

After returning for the first time in 400 years, these problem solvers have already made a splash.

They’ve helped to:
- Reduce flood risk
- Boost biodiversity
- And bring communities closer to local wildlife.

It’s safe to say that these beavers have settled in swimmingly.

For a long time, I felt I had to mask my way of being to fit in.”

While Susana initially struggled with dyslexia at work, today her outlook is different.

She says it’s made her a more empathetic leader and helped with problem solving.

Different ways of thinking don’t hold engineering back, Susana’s story is a powerful reminder of that.
