The Institute of Highway Incorporated Engineers was founded in 1965, changing its name to the Institute of Highway Engineers in 2009.[1][2]
It has been registering engineers and technicians with the Engineering Council since 1972 and accrediting academic courses since 1989. The Institute awards the professional qualifications: Incorporated Engineer, Engineering Technician and Chartered Engineer.
In April 2020, the IHE, with six other organisations, formed the Highways Industry Alliance, looking to provide a single voice for the highways industry. However, a rival body, the Highways Sector Council had been formed in late 2019.[5]
Highway Engineering Academy
In 2018 the IHE launched the Highway Engineering Academy[6] to accredit skills highways practitioners are expected to know and deliver in the workplace. There is a skills shortage within the highways sector and the Academy provides training for highway engineers. The training can lead to an IHE Professional Certificate or Diploma; subjects include: active travel, asset management, highway maintenance, road safety engineering, transport development management, transport network resilience, traffic signal control, traffic signing and road markings, temporary traffic management and winter services.[7] It is recognised by employers in the industry.[citation needed]
