ICE's work in Scotland is carried out by volunteer members on various committees and groups. They organise events and activities that bring together like-minded people and give members the opportunity to increase their knowledge, get advice and raise the profile of civil engineering in Scotland.
ICE's work in Scotland is carried out by the regional committee. It's made up of representatives throughout the region, and Graduates, Students and Apprentices committee members, and is supported by the Regional Support Team.
Committee members are volunteers and come from a range of backgrounds within the civil engineering profession.
Find out more about the committees and groups, including who's involved and how you can get in touch.
The ICE Scotland Committee oversees the implementation of the Business Plan and takes the lead on external facing activities to inform opinion and raise public awareness of civil engineering. It is made up of representatives of Branches, corporate members and co-opted Members from across Scotland.
ICE Scotland's knowledge programme ensures the continuous professional development (CPD) of our members and is delivered by five Branches across Scotland (Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Highlands and Islands). Specialist Interest Groups also organise technical events relating to specific engineering topics.
ICE Scotland Branches also coordinate support for education and inspiration volunteer activities in local schools to inspire the next generation of civil engineers.

The committee's AGM takes place in October of each year.
Each Branch has an Early Careers Networl (ECNet) sub-committee which support members who are working towards becoming professionally qualified. Their activities include knowledge events, seminars and competitions and peer group learning about specific aspects of the Professional Review including the written exercise.

Special interest groups (SIGs) are a link between industry and ICE, helping us to provide information, training and best practice to our members. Members of SIGs are volunteers from a range of backgrounds within the profession.
If you would like to get involved with any of the SIGs in Scotland, please contact the relevant chair.
The SGEG is a special interest group of the Institution of Civil Engineers and is a regional group of the British Geotechnical Association.
The objective of the SGEG is to promote the Geotechnical Engineering Profession mainly by arranging learned meetings and bringing high profile national and international lectures to Scotland. This is coupled with encouraging young people into the discipline and promoting young engineers.
The SGEG arranges meetings, seminars and competitions in order to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and experience concerning the latest developments in the continually developing field of geotechnical engineering.
