Institution of Civil Engineers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (591 words)
The initiative to found the Institution was taken in 1818 by three young engineers, Henry Robinson Palmer (23), James Jones (28) and Joshua Field (32), who organised an inaugural meeting on the 2nd January 1818, at the Kendal Coffee House in Fleet Street.
The institution made little headway until a key step was taken - the appointment of Thomas Telford as the first President of the body.
Mechanical engineer and tool-maker Henry Maudslay was an early member and Joseph Whitworth presented one of the earliest papers – it was not until 1847 that the Institution of Mechanical Engineers was established (with George Stephenson as its first President).
