Joining the institution should not be based on what the institution can do for us as Engineers and Technicians, but on what you can do for the institution and the profession.

The institution is a platform to meet, discuss, exchange of ideas and information with others in your profession, in meetings, serminars, workshops and conferences, hence improve and grow personally and professionally.
