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.
