The term "engineer" dates back to about 1325, and was used to refer to anyone who operated a military machine, such as a catapult.
These are exciting times at the Engineers' Club. After celebrating its 130th anniversary in 2007, the Club leadership completed a Strategic Plan in the spring of 2008 and has since set out in numerous directions to implement it. One of the key areas is Membership. I am pleased to announce that the Club has launched its new corporate membership. Corporate membership will provide unique benefits for companies that employ engineers. For our younger members, the Club recently announced the establishment of its first Student Chapter at Temple University and hopes to replicate this at all the region's colleges and universities. The Club will also be reestablishing affiliate membership which is designed to provide association management services and support to technical and professional societies in the region.
