FES
Chapters
FES
comes to you through our local and student
chapters. To make ourselves part of your community,
we have divided the state into seven regions and
20 chapters. Chapters meet once a month so that you
can network with your peers and learn about what's
happening in the local and state engineering community.
Each chapter sponsors its own events. These typically
include an annual Engineers' Week Banquet in February,
a MATHCOUNTS tournament, awards programs, a golf
tournament, and educational events.
Below
is a map of the seven regions with their corresponding
local chapters and counties. Select any area
of the map to view news and information for that
chapter.

Directors of FES developed qualifications for the establishment
and operation of FES Student Chapters.
