Chang Chairman Chinese Institute of Engineers-USA Chair, Engineers Week 2008 | The Chinese Institute of Engineers (CIE)-USA, a not-for-profit engineering society, was founded in 1917 in New York by a group of Chinese engineers who graduated from American universities and served in various industries in the U.S. Its mission is to promote communication and exchange of information among various fields of engineers and scientists who are interested in the well-being of the Asian engineering community in the U.S. and abroad. Today, there are six regional/local chapters, including Dallas/Fort Worth, New Mexico, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Overseas Chinese Environmental Engineers and Scientists Association (OCEESA). Working closely with professional organizations, institutions, corporations, and its chapter members, CIE-USA holds technical, professional development, and recognition events, seminars and conventions including the annual Asian American Engineer of the Year (AAEOY) Award Banquet in conjunction with Engineers Week. www.cie-usa.org « Return to Diversity Council page |
