REGISTER FOR EVENT

Engineering Symposium in Rochester (ESR).  This event is headed by MPES with support from RES and several other local engineering societies. Unfortunately, the 2024 event was cancelled due to excessive venue cost.  The ESR planning committee is looking for an alternative venue and plans to reboot the event in 2025.  If you are interested in supporting the event or joining the planning committee, please contact us through our contact page: https://monroepes.org/contact-us/.

Planning is underway for the 2025 MATHCOUNTS event.  MATHCOUNTS provides engaging math programs to US middle school students of all ability levels to build confidence and improve attitudes about math and problem solving.  The date of the local chapter competition is February 1, 2025 at RIT.  To learn more about the event and to register as a school or as an individual student see https://www.mathcounts.org/.  We are also looking for moderators and graders for the event.  If you are interested in assisting in this capacity, please send us a message through our contact page: https://monroepes.org/contact-us/.

The American Society of Engineering Educators (ASEE) has issued a statement assessing the qualifications for the licensure of engineering technology graduates.  The Monroe Professional Engineers Society Board of Directors has unanimously voted to endorse this assessment.  The position statement by ASEE reads as follows:
The American Society of Engineering Educators, a society made up of educators in both Engineering and Engineering Technology programs, strongly supports the position that baccalaureate graduates from ETAC/ABET accredited Engineering Technology programs are fully capable of protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public and should, therefore, be eligible, without additional requirements, to become Licensed Professional Engineers.
