The American Association of Engineers is the largest national engineering society, with a membership of thirty thousand. Its activities are non technical; its objects are "to raise the standards of ethics of the engineering profession, and to promote the economic and social welfare of engineers."
The local student chapter has an active membership of over two hundred, including prominent faculty men and engineering students of all courses and classes. In line with the objects of the national economic questions, industrial problems, and the like which confront the engineering profession and which are necessarily somewhat neglected in engineering courses.
In addition, the local chapter has this purpose always before it: to take the initiative and an active part in every project which has for its object the betterment of the College of Engineering as a whole, or the improvement of individual engineering students.
