Phi Lamda Upsilon - Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
APhi Lambda Upsilon is an honorary chemical society which aims to promote high scholarship and original investigation in all branches of pure and applied chemistry. The founders envisioned a society dedicated to these objectives which would serve the field of chemistry in much the same way as other branches of engineering are served by their societies. In the span of ninety-five years, Phi Lambda Upsilon has grown into an organization comprising 67 chapters and more than 55,000 members.

Society of Plastics Engineers
The Society of Plastics Engineers, Inc., was originally incorporated by the State of Michigan on January 6, 1942 as the Society of Plastics Sales Engineers. At the time there were 120 members in good standing. On August 21, 1942, the name was officially changed to the Society of Plastics Engineers, Inc.

SPE has become the recognized medium of communication amongst scientists and engineers engaged in the development, conversion and applications of plastics. It is truly an international Society since a significant number of its members reside outside the United States.

Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering
Founded in 1944, SAMPE is an international education and scientific association dedicated to the advancement of new materials and processes. The Society sponsors technical conferences and exhibitions, publishes Proceedings, technical books and other publications.

ASM International
