The Engineers Registration Board in Kenya was established through an Act of Parliament in 1969. A revision in 1992 accommodated the Technician Engineer grade. The Board regulates the conduct of practising engineers. It is illegal for an engineer to practise or call himself an engineer if not registered with the Board.

Registration is a License to practise engineering in Kenya. The Board consists of seven members — four are appointed by the Minister and three by the Institution of Engineers of Kenya. The Minister nominates one member to be the chairman, while the vice-chairman is elected from among members.
