Investing in Florida's
Technological Future

What is the Florida Engineering Foundation?

The Foundation was established in 1986 to encourage and assist students in pursuing engineering careers and to educate the public about engineering. Founded by a group of engineers within the Florida Engineering Society, our volunteer-based organization encourages involvement of educators, business, industry and government. The Foundation is authorized to receive and administer funds for charitable and educational purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code.
