ACETTPEI was established in 1972. ACETTPEI has registered the tradename Island Technology Professionals since 2019.[1]

ACETTPEI confers the designations "C.Tech.", "C.E.T." and "A.Sc.T." which are symbols of achievement in engineering/applied science technology and are legally protected for use only by fully certified members. The designations are recognized across Canada by many employers and other engineering professionals through the efforts of provincial associations that make up the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists (CCTT).[2] Though CCTT being a signatory, ACETTPEI recognizes international transferability through the Sydney Accord.

In 2007, ACETTPEI hosted the Atlantic Canada Technology Roundtable with the assistance of other Atlantic Canada Technology organizations and some federal government funds. This was a meeting of private, public, and educational sectors to examine the issues of technology skills shortages which may have hampered economic growth in the region and is expected to get worse due to baby boomer retirement.
