The main object of the association was "the promotion of an entente cordiale between the different branches and members of the profession, and its advancement generally." And it was hoped that the association would organise "a series of scientific conversaziones, at the Exhibition building", and assist the Exhibition Trustees. The name was altered to The Victorian Institute of Engineers in August 1889. On 15 December 1948, at its Annual Dinner, the Victorian Institute of Engineers announced that representatives of its Council, and Melbourne Division of the Institution of Engineers, Australia, had agreed to terms of amalgamation. The Institute was "wound up voluntarily" at a meeting on 25 August 1949, to "facilitate the merger of the Victorian Institute of Engineers with the Institution of Engineers, Australia.
