Engineering society

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An engineering society is a professional organization for engineers of various disciplines. Some are umbrella type organisations which accept many different disciplines, while others are discipline-specific. Many award professional designations, such as Professional Engineer, Chartered Engineer, or similar.

[edit] Canada

In Canada, the term 'Engineering Society' generally refers to organizations of engineering students as opposed to professional societies of engineers.

The Canadian Federation of Engineering Students (CFES), whose membership consists of most of the engineering societies from across Canada (see below), is the national association of undergraduate engineering student societies in Canada.

Canada also has many traditions related to the calling of an engineer. See Engineering traditions in Canada for more information.

[edit] Romania

In Romania the engineering comunity is lead by the General Association of the Engineers in Romania (rom. A.G.I.R.), a professional comunity of engineers. They are specialized on various fields of activities like welding, non-traditional technologies and equipments, heat treating, stress and tensometry, economic etc.
Other engineering comunities are:

  • Romanian Welding Society (rom. A.S.R.)
  • Romanian Association of Heat-Treatment (rom. A.R.T.T.)
  • Romanian Association of Non-Traditional Technologies (rom. A.R.T.N.)
  • Romanian Association of Tensometry (rom. ARTENS)

All theese professional engineering comunities and asscociations make efforts to integrate in a larger engineering comunity of the European Union.
