Afghanistan Engineers Council (AEC), The Afghanistan Engineers (AE); [شورای انجنیران افغانستان] Error: {{Langx}}: unrecognized language code: per (help)), is an Afghan professional body/organization and Non-profit organization whose purpose is to develop the science and practice of engineering for the benefits of the community. Afghanistan Engineers Council is Afghanistan's well-known organization As of 2025, AEC has 1000+ members, which includes University professors, professional engineers and engineering students. The Afghanistan Engineers Council (AEC) is dedicated to elevating the engineering profession through a steadfast commitment core values that emphasize integrity, innovative excellence, unity, professional development, collaboration, and sustainability. AEC is committed to upholding the highest standards of professional practice, fostering continuous education, and developing engineering qualifications. Through strategic initiatives, aiming to contribute to national development projects across sectors including education, industry, engineering, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, agriculture, economics, and technology, while promoting professional engineering practices and service to society. AEC support engineers in their pursuit of education, licensure, research and global engineering development by providing professional resources, forming academic and industry partnerships, and encouraging inclusive participation across disciplines and demographics. By uniting engineers under a shared vision and mission, AEC strives to empower future professionals, promote diversity, and create sustainable solutions to the most pressing challenges in Afghanistan, the United States, and World.

History

In early 2025, a group of dedicated and visionary professional engineers came together with a shared mission to establish a professional engineering organization devoted to the advancement of their profession, the service of nation, and the sustainable development of their country. Afghanistan Engineers Council was founded with the goal of promoting engineering excellence, fostering innovation, supporting professional development, and empowering the next generation of engineers. The founding members envisioned a platform where engineers from all disciplines could unite to address national challenges, influence policy, and ensure that engineering solutions play a key role in building a more prosperous and resilient future for Afghanistan.

The AEC was founded on the principle and a steadfast commitment core values that emphasize integrity, excellence, unity, professional development, innovation, collaboration, and sustainability. aiming to raise the standards of engineering practice, promote ethical responsibility, and inspire a culture of excellence across all engineering and technical fields. Recognizing the vital role that engineering plays in economic growth, infrastructure development, and technological progress, the founding members envisioned an inclusive platform that would unite engineers from across Afghanistan and beyond. Afghanistan Engineers Council objectives included supporting capacity building through technical education and training, creating opportunities for research and innovation, seeking standard career opportunities, engaging in strategic partnerships with international institutions, and contributing expert knowledge to national planning and policy-making. Through conferences, workshops, certification programs, and mentorship initiatives, the organization seeks to empower young engineers, enhance professional skills, and ensure that Afghanistan’s engineering sector becomes a driving force in shaping a sustainable, resilient, and globally connected future.

The Afghanistan Engineers Council (AEC) actively promotes partnerships not only within engineering teams but also with educational institutions, government agencies, and private sector entities to broaden learning opportunities and enhance impact. AEC is committed to establishing collaborations with global engineering organizations to facilitate knowledge sharing, joint research, and innovative projects, while encouraging participation in international exchanges, internships, and conferences. The Council supports and motivates engineers to contribute to both theoretical and practical advancements in the engineering field through publications, lectures, seminars, field visits, and the exchange of information with counterpart institutions in Afghanistan and worldwide. Furthermore, AEC fosters scientific and technical cooperation among engineers within Afghanistan and across the globe, partnering with academic institutions to provide scholarships, certification programs, and joint training initiatives.

AEC since its inception, has collaborated closely with Afghan engineers and engineering entities across the public and private sectors. Guided by its mission to enhance the technical and leadership competencies of Afghan engineers and organizations, AEC consistently contributing to the economic and social development of Afghan societies. Operating both nationally and internationally, AEC has established a robust network of Afghan engineering professionals nationwide and outside the country. Our commitment is to cultivate expertise, strengthen institutional capacity, and promote sustainable growth.

Afghanistan Engineers Council supports a broad range of engineering disciplines, including but not limited to Civil (Construction), Mechanical, Electrical (Energy), Industrial, Agricultural, Mining, Architectural, Chemical, Aeronautical, Technology, Transport, Engineering Management and Leadership and other disciplines. With offices strategically situated across Afghanistan and abroad, AEC fosters a professional environment that emphasizes excellence, integrity, and continuous progress toward achieving its goals. The organizational structure of AEC is consist of Engineering Research and Training, Information Technology, Communications and International affairs, Finance, Planning and Projects, Culture and Publication, Member and Volunteers committees.
