The Uganda Engineers Registration Board (ERB) was established by the Engineers Registration Act (Cap. 271) of 1969 amended to Cap. 299 in 2024. The Act defined the powers and functions, and provided for the registration of engineers and matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The functions of the Board are to regulate and control engineers and their activities within Uganda, and to advise Government in relation to those functions.

The first Board was appointed in January 1970, and was chaired by the late Eng. Zikusooka. In 2020, the Board and the engineering fraternity marked its 50^th Anniversary.

Like any other institution, ERB history has been shaped by the economic, social and political factors of the Country. There were even some periods when there was no Board appointed. There have been Twenty Boards to date; the current being the Twentieth (20^th) Board. 

In honor of the gallant engineers who have served the engineering fraternity since the creation of ERB, the Boards and their compositions, from 1970 to date, are given here-below (and for colleagues who have since passed on, may their souls rest in eternal peace).
