Engineering related societies

The following is a list of professional societies related to the mechanical engineering field.  These groups either have some sort of certification process or are responsible for the control of various commonly used standards.  If other societies should be added to this list, please feel free to comment with their information, or email me directly.

  1. American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
  2. ASTM International (formerly American Society for Testing and Materials)
  3. International Organization for Standardation (ISO)
  4. National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE)
  5. Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE)
  6. SAE International (formerly Society of Automotive Engineers)
  7. Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI)

As a drafter, mechanical designer and CAD engineer, I've been in the mechanical design field since 1991. For the first 8 years of my career, I was an AutoCAD professional. I utilized AutoLISP and many other AutoCAD customization features to streamline drafting activities for 6+ drafters and designers. I authored several custom functions, one of which was published in the March 1997 issue of Cadalyst Magazine. Since 1998, I've been used SolidWorks non-stop. I've worked to utilize the SolidWorks' user environment to simplify drafting and design activities for 20+ engineers. I've created this website to provide current information about SolidWorks from a variety of contributors. More recently, I am now employed by Dassault Systemes as SOLIDWORKS Sr. Product Definition Manager to improve drawing, annotation and MBD related areas.

One thought on “Engineering related societies”

  1. Though not in the business of producing standards or publishing research material, Tau Beta Pi is the engineering honor society with the toughest requirements for initiation not just in all fields of engineering but also in the character of the individuals.

    Instead of building the standards, we help the future engineers and give them the resources that they need to succeed professionally where they use the standards published by the other societies above.
