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.
