Professional Organizations
Professional organizations and associations provide a wide range of
resources for planning and navigating a career in Engineering Technology.
These groups can play a key role in your development and
keep you abreast of what is happening in your industry. Associations
promote the interests of their members and provide a network of contacts
that can help you find jobs and move your career forward. They can offer a
variety of services including job referral services, continuing education
courses, insurance, travel benefits, periodicals, and meeting and
conference opportunities.
Many professional societies also have student chapters.
Student engineers are encouraged to join their local chapter and
participate in programs and activities to help network with other
students and professional engineers.
