INTRODUCTION TO THE INSTITUTION 

In recognition of the special knowledge and skills needed for the
diagnosis of deterioration of plant and machinery and the development
of faults, the INSTITUTION OF DIAGNOSTIC ENGINEERS was formed to
promote the education and training of such persons.

The aims of the institution are to be of direct, immediate and
positive assistance to all who are concerned with the servicing and
maintenance of machines and structures, or who have a concern for the
well-being and whole-life effectiveness of all industrial systems.

It is their belief:

that the diagnosis of faults, the examination and interpretation of
defects, the investigation of malfunctions, the introduction and
operation of condition monitoring � and the numerous related
activities - involves skills which are not appreciated to the extent
they deserve.

that diagnostic skills require a knowledge of many disciplines and an
understanding of the operating principles of machines, instruments,
controls; of strengths and functional capabilities. In particular
skill is needed to compare the behaviour of a machine when �in health'
with what it does when in �distress'.

that they provide the inspiration to assist members to develop and
extend such skills to maturity.

that the work and status of a diagnostic engineer should be recognised
as occupying a very high place in industrial society and that they
should be appropriately rewarded and honoured.

that the work and application of a diagnostic engineer is similar to
that of a physician/medical practitioner who uses similar instruments
and diagnostic techniques as those used by a trouble-shooting
engineer.

that the level of experience needed by a diagnostic engineer is of
post-experience/post-graduate level and that persons who join the
Institution display an interest and enthusiasm in developing their
abilities and skills to the benefit of their employers and clients
which should be adequately rewarded.

that membership should not be based solely on an artificial assessment
through academic achievement but should be wide spread and offered to
those who have shown practical knowledge and application.
