Comment: The EITI has a rigorous process for the nomination and election of Fellows. Thus, when and if this draft is accepted, the creation of a separate List of Fellows of the International Engineering and Technology Institute should be considered for creation, coupled with Category:Fellow of the International Engineering and Technology Institute for those fellows who have articles about them already. 🇵🇸🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 11:42, 4 October 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Phraseology such as "In Bar (publication) Foo (author) states (subject of the draft) was (thing stated)" is both lazy writing and useless to Wikipedia. Instead please write in your own words what is said by Foo in Bar about the subject.Changing your phraseology will assist with your next review, which another reviewer will handle.Thank you for your clear declaration of how you used AI. This seems to me to be appropriate use of aI as a research tool, the more so since you checked what it told you. 🇵🇸🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 11:34, 4 October 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: In preparing this draft, I disclose that AI assistance was used as follows: I used ChatGPT to assist with research, source organization, and drafting. I reviewed the draft, checked the cited sources, and edited the article before submission. The final submission is based on publicly available sources cited in the draft.

- Comment: The list of fellows is not helpful in establishing notability. WP:NOTINHERITED applies. Assuming it is notable, and being a fellow of it is notable, these can be handled with a category 🇵🇸🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 15:29, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

The International Engineering and Technology Institute (IETI) is an international academic organization founded in 2015 and based in Hong Kong. It is involved in academic collaboration, research activities, conferences, fellowships and awards in science, engineering and technology.[1]
History
[edit]IETI was founded in 2015. In 2020, the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Tsinghua University described IETI as a non-profit organization established in 2015 that promoted research and collaboration in science, engineering and technology, with activities extending into mathematics, statistics, economics and related fields.[2]
In 2026, the Pakistani newspaper Business Recorder described IETI as a non-profit and non-political academic organization founded in 2015 and reported on one of its international awards.[1]
Activities
[edit]IETI's activities include academic conferences, research collaboration, fellowships and academic awards. Universities in several countries have reported appointments and awards involving the organization.
In 2020, Tsinghua University reported the election of statistician Lijian Yang as an IETI Distinguished Fellow and described the institute's research scope and fellowship program.[2]
In December 2025, the University of California, Santa Barbara reported that computer scientist Linda Petzold had been elected a Distinguished Fellow of IETI. The university described the fellowship as an honor recognizing Petzold's contributions to computational science and engineering.[3]
In 2025, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology reported that environmental engineer Irene Man Chi Lo had been elected an IETI Distinguished Fellow.[4]
IETI has also participated in the organization of international academic conferences. In May 2026, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University reported that IETI co-organized the fifth International Symposium on Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for Education Transformation (ISBDAI 2026). The event included a keynote address by Nobel Prize in Physics laureate Ferenc Krausz.[5]

The fellowship program has been reported by universities including Tsinghua University, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.[2][3][4]
IETI's fellowship lists include academics who have received major international awards. However, the individual distinction of a fellow is separate from the organizational status of IETI.
Awards
[edit]IETI administers academic awards and honors, including awards related to scientific research, leadership and young researchers.[7]
