What is SAME?
Our
Purpose:
SAME brings together professional engineers and those in engineering-related
fields:
- To improve and increase the
engineering capabilities of the nation;
- To exchange and advance the
knowledge of engineering technologies, applications, and practices.
SAME is a nonprofit professional
engineer association, headquartered in Alexandria,
Virginia with chapters (called Posts)
worldwide. Founded in 1920 to engage military and federal government engineers
with those in private life for the purpose of improving the engineering
potential of the United States,
The Society today has some 25,000 members from industry, the military,
government, and academia.
The Memphis Post was established March
25th, 1959 and has over 150 members from a variety of
organizations. Monthly lunch meetings
are held with presentations by guest speakers from the engineering world. A majority of our presentations provide
professional development hours for our members that attend. In addition, the Memphis Post sponsors a
scholarship program for engineering students, golf outings, and participates in
several community-sponsored activities.
