About the Atlanta Metro Chapter
The 500 member Atlanta Metro Section of the
Georgia Society of Professional Engineers serves
registered professional engineers and developing
engineers by providing networking opportunities
and continuing education opportunities for
members.
The local section also serves the wider metro
Atlanta community as an information resource and
contact for the engineering profession. Members,
locally and across the state actively support
MATHCOUNTS, a nationwide competitive program that
has promoted excellence in middle school studies
of mathematics for over twenty years. The Atlanta
Metro Section has also produced a full-color
brochure explaining the field of engineering to
students in lay terms, which is available free of
charge to interested students. The GSPE also
awards engineering college scholarships each year.
GSPE members are often asked to address school
classes to talk about applications of science and
technology.
The Georgia Society of Professional Engineers is a
state affiliate of the National Society of
Professional Engineers (NSPE), and a participant
in the Georgia Engineering Alliance. The National
Society of Professional Engineers is the
recognized voice and advocate of licensed
Professional Engineers. Founded in 1934, NSPE
strengthens the engineering profession by
promoting engineering licensure and ethics to
assure the public’s safety, enhancing the engineer
image, advocating and protecting PE’s legal rights
at the national and state levels, publishing news
of the profession, providing continuing education
opportunities, and much more. NSPE serves some
50,000 members and the public through 53 state and
territorial societies and more than 500 local
chapters.
To assure the public safety, all of 50 states and
the United States territories have laws requiring
registration of all individuals and firms engaged
in providing engineering services. Prior to
becoming a Registered Professional Engineer a
candidate must have the required educational
background, gain professional experience and pass
a rigorous exam. The Georgia State Board of
Registration of Engineers and Land Surveyors is
part of the Secretary of State office.
