The Order of Engineers and Architects (OEA) was established pursuant to Law ratified by the Lebanese parliament in 1951 aiming to regulate the profession of engineering in Lebanon. This mission was carried out by two syndicates, located in Beirut and Tripoli and they are considered as the only official reference and regulator for professionals licensed to practice engineering in the Country. The Tripoli Syndicate consists of engineers registered in the North Lebanon Governorate and the Beirut Syndicate is composed of engineers registered in all parts of Lebanon. Ever since its establishment, the OEA is dedicated to represent, protect and promote the interest of the profession of engineering and its practitioners in the city of Tripoli. Over the years, the OEA has earned considerable credibility that made it one of the most reputable organizations offering the city a beehive of knowledge and qualified professionals. Enforced by the trust of the city, the regulatory role of the order has extended and crystallized to include more services and responsibilities. Today, the OEA includes one of the biggest libraries of technical documents, directories, technical support, and capacity-building programs. It also plays the role of the arbitrator in dispute and most importantly the ultimate advocate for the rights and responsibilities of its members to ensure them a successful career and a decent retirement through its Pension Fund. With the support of the law, the tireless effort of its members and the dedication of its board the OEA will continue in presenting, regulating and protecting the profession of engineers on the foundation of trust, integrity and consistency.
