In 1919, the Northern Engineering Institute of New South Wales amalgamated with other existing engineering associations, to form the "Institution of Engineers, Australia" as one of the Institution's eleven 'Foundation Societies', and its members transferred to the Institution as foundation Associate Members.

The Northern Engineering Institute was formed on 6 April 1889 at a "representative meeting of mining, civil, and mercantile engineers, architects, and others interested" held in the School of Arts, Newcastle.

During the 1890s depression, with falling attendance at its meetings, the organization lapsed from the middle of 1895.

It was re-established in late 1908, "for the purpose of protecting and advancing the status of the engineering profession in the district" and continued until 1919, when it amalgamated with other similar organizations to form the Institution of Engineers, Australia.

The "Papers" of the Northern Engineering Institute of New South Wales were published in eight Volumes, from 1908-09 until 1916-17, and contain over 60 articles. Some meetings and lectures were reported in the local press, providing useful details about the speakers, and the topics presented and discussed.
