The Croatian
Association of Engineers is an association of societies formed by free and
voluntary association of single-trade and multiple-trades engineering societies
operating in the territory of the Republic of Croatia. The main axis of
such association are the engineering societies of graduate engineers from the
field of technical and biotechnical sciences that are the legal and historical
successors of the engineering association "Klub inžinirah i arkitektah
Zagreb" that was founded on March 2, 1878. Single-trade engineering
societies and multiple-trades engineering societies are grouped together in
order to promote and protect the rights of engineers, to improve the engineering
profession, to promote the ethics of the engineering profession, to spur
technical development and research, and to promote education and scientific and
professional improvement of engineers, with an objective of encouraging and
reaching an optimum level of technological and economic development, wellbeing,
safety, health, environmental protection and quality of life in the society.
From its
foundation to the present time, the Croatian Association of Engineers changed
its name on several occasions, in accordance with changes of its organizational
structure:
from
1878 Club of Engineers and
Architects - Zagreb
from 1884 Society of
Engineers and Architects - Zagreb
from 1894 Society of
Engineers and Architects of Croatia and Slavonia
from 1904 Croatian Society
of Engineers and Architects
from 1919 Association of
Yugoslav Engineers and Architects - Zagreb Section
from 1940 Society of
Engineers
from 1941 Croatian Society
of Engineers
from 1946 Society of
Engineers and Technicians of the People's Republic of Croatia
from 1953 Association of
Engineers and Technician of Croatia
from 1992 Croatian
Association of Engineers
Every
change of its name also engendered appropriate changes to its rules and by-laws.
These changes are mostly related to the functioning procedures, internal
structuring, and scope of work. However, despite these changes, the
following general objectives have remained the same throughout the one hundred
and twenty-five years of its existence:
·
gather together and unite all technical forces for the common benefit and
general wellbeing,
·
promote and protect interests of the engineering branch taking at that care to
protect and improve economic situation, social standing, working conditions, and
the repute and honour of engineers in public life,
·
promote ethical behaviour in the engineering branch,
·
encourage and endorse education and the advancement of its members in both
research and professional activities,
·
create preconditions favouring an optimum technological and economic development
in Croatia,
·
preserve natural environment and advocate sustainable development practices.
