About the Engineers' Club of Memphis

​

ORIGIN: The Engineers' Club of Memphis, organized on May 8, 1914, is a nonsectarian, nonpolitical, and nonprofit society whose objectives and purposes are to promote the educational and professional improvement of its members, to advance the field of engineering in its several branches, to make available to the general public technical and scientific information and knowledge, and generally to aid in the solution of public questions involving engineering and scientific problems. In the furtherance of these goals, the Club strives through its various committees to develop and plan ongoing educational programs, seminars, symposiums, professional tours, and other technically oriented meetings, events and projects.

​​

OUR MISSION:   It is the mission of the Engineers' Club to promote the educational, social and professional advancement of its members; to assist community leaders, civic organizations and public agencies by providing advice on and giving support to issues which benefit the Memphis community and to acting as liaison between the Club's many affiliated societies.

​​

MEETINGS:   We are excited to offer weekly luncheon meetings currently held via ZOOM every Monday (see link below). The meetings begin at 12:00 PM and the presentation begins at approximately 12:10 PM.  Keep an eye out for the occasional in-person meeting.

​

PHILANTHROPY: Since 1914, the Engineers’ Club of Memphis has committed itself to furthering the development of the local engineering community in Memphis-Shelby County and the Mid-South.  As part of that effort, we continue to financially support many  local engineering activities and students through grants, scholarships and donations.  These include scholarships for engineering students at Christian Brothers University, the University of Memphis, and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, support of the annual Engineers Week Luncheon and annual Memphis Joint Engineers Council (MJEC) Student Contest, as well as our weekly professional development presentations, among others.  We also support active STEM programs at the local high and middle schools.  In addition, we make memorial donations to the charity of choice for our deceased members and it is often to their alma mater.  Over the past decade, the Engineers’ Club of Memphis has distributed over $70,000 in grants, scholarships and donations.  We plan to continue all of these efforts in the future and look to expand them as our means allow through increased membership, sponsorship support and other donations.​
