@RwandaEngineers in collaboration with Penetron Africa concluded a one-day training on resilient concrete with certificate presentations to participating engineering practitioners, recognising their commitment to continuous professional development. #IER #EngineeringRwanda

Jonathan Peter Whitehead, a concrete durability expert from Penetron Africa, highlighted how professional training helps engineering practitioners keep up with new technologies, strengthen their skills, and make informed decisions to build more resilient infrastructure in Rwanda.

How do we make concrete structures last longer? During Resilient Concrete training, engineering practitioners explored how to identify damage, investigate its causes, and choose the right repair methods to build safer, more durable infrastructure in Rwanda. #EngineeringRwanda

Why is becoming a registered engineering practitioner a rigorous process? Our CEO, @Sabiti1Steven , explains why each step matters in protecting the profession and ensuring engineering is practised by qualified professionals. #IER #EngineeringRwanda

You’ve earned your degree. What’s next? The Chairperson of our Governing Council, Eng.Philbert Mbanza, explains that IER professional certification helps members to meet the engineering standards Rwanda needs while opening up more opportunities for registered members. #IER

“After the oath you have taken this morning, you now have a right to be addressed as engineers and to legally practice your profession. I therefore want to congratulate you on going through the rigorous process that has earned you this title.” @Sabiti1Steven, CEO, IER.

Eng. Philbert Mbanza, Chairman of the IER Governing Council, emphasized the importance of Continuous Professional Development, adapting to emerging technologies such as AI, and keeping safety at the centre of engineering practice. #IER #EngineeringRwanda #EngineeringProfession

Today, over 177 engineering practitioners are taking the professional oath at IER, committing to uphold professional standards, practise ethically and put public safety first. Congratulations to all the newly inducted practitioners! #IER #EngineeringRwanda

A commitment to engineering is a commitment to public trust. Tomorrow, engineering practitioners will take the oath to uphold ethics, accountability and public safety. Follow @RwandaEngineers as we mark this milestone. #IER #OathTaking #EngineeringRwanda

Engineering professionals have a duty of care to those who depend on the infrastructure they design. IER promotes engineering excellence, professionalism and accountability in Rwanda. Concerned about an IER-registered engineering professional? 📩 [email protected]

Building skills for safer buildings. Led by Eng. Gerald Colyvas, @RwandaEngineers Practical Seismic Design Training explored earthquake response, structural design and Eurocode 8 through real project examples, reinforcing engineering professionals’ role in protecting lives.

Closing today’s seismic design training, IER Vice Chairman Eng. René Bazitunga emphasized continuous learning for quality, safe and sustainable infrastructure in Rwanda and urged engineers to apply their skills to protect lives and build for future generations. #IER

“Seismic design is not simply about calculating the base shear and putting reinforcements into a building. It’s about understanding how the structure behaves.” Eng. Gerald Colyvas demonstrated how buildings respond to earthquakes and how to apply Eurocode 8 for safer buildings.

Opening today’s seismic design training, IER CEO @Sabiti1Steven emphasized the importance of continuous professional development in keeping engineers relevant in today’s competitive market and reaffirmed IER’s commitment to equipping members with practical skills. #IER

“We are growing significantly, and as we grow, we want to become engineers who work at the same level as those in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan, Somalia, and Ethiopia. To remain relevant, we need to continuously develop our skills.” Eng. Philbert Mbanza, Chairman of IER

The Institute of Engineering Rwanda is hosting training on seismic design led by Eng. Gerald Colyvas. Through real project examples and ETABS demonstrations, participants are learning to apply Eurocode 8 for safer, more earthquake resilient buildings in Rwanda. #IER
