Interacting with colleague scientists and engineers is extremely important for professional development. Professional societies or associations sponsor annual meetings or conferences, publish journals, and often provide certification and professional training including workshops. Members can serve as reviewers or editors. These societies set professional and educational standards including codes of ethics and may often provide job and career services for their members. Some associations/societies also publish books, technical papers and other publications besides journals. Below is a selective list of key associations of interest to chemical engineers.
