By the mid-2000s, the IEE was the largest professional engineering society in Europe, with a worldwide membership of around 120,000.
Discussions about a merger with the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) under a new name started in 2004, and following membership voting, the IEE merged with the IIE on 31 March 2006 to form the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
