SA Academy of Engineering

The South African Academy of Engineering (SAAE) is a young, growing, non-profit, independent institution with 199 members. It functions as a voluntary association under its own constitution and follows the model of Academies of Engineering in many countries around the world.

The Academy comprises eminent engineers of all disciplines and related professionals with proven ability and achievement. It is able to harness their wealth of knowledge and experience which, with the interdisciplinary character of the membership, provides a unique resource for independent, evidence-based advice. The SAAE maintains relations with overseas Academies of Engineering and in 2009 was admitted as a member of the International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences (CAETS).
