Get Involved:

Local Chapters
The Chapter is the local unit that carries out the purposes and programs of the State and National Society. If you are a member of the NSPE, you are a member of a local Chapter. It is at the Chapter meetings and Chapter sponsored events that networking, programs, and community involvement occur.

Each Chapter has its own web page on the GSPE web site, where you can find out the who to contact in the Chapter Leadership for more information, Chapter meeting dates and locations, and opportunities for you to become involved.

Engineers Week
Engineers and technology professionals interact with elementary, middle and high school students to share their career experiences and to promote engineering as a career choice.

Future City
The Future City Competition is a national program sponsored by the engineering community to promote technological literacy and engineering to middle school students. Volunteers are needed for the schools and 30 Judges are needed for the day of the event. Please contact  Dawn Ramsey at SPSU

MATHCOUNTS
The Georgia MATHCOUNTS competition is sponsored by the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers and is made possible through financial support provided by corporate and private donations.

Numerous individuals volunteer countless hours to make this program a success, and the State competition will be the culmination of months of hard work for volunteers, coaches, mathletes and parents alike.

Critical Infrastructure/Homeland Security Task Force
The NSPE Critical Infrastructure/Homeland Security Task Force (CIHSTF) supports and promotes the cause of critical infrastructure protection and national security, while assuring the sound and ethical practice of professional engineering. Its mission, being fulfilled through a coordinated network of multidisciplinary engineering entities and individual P.E.s, is to consider three specific areas of homeland security:

Physical infrastructure protection against natural and man-made threats
 
Codes and standards development
 
Academic training of future homeland security workers

Gordon H. Terwillegar, P.E. (Atlanta Metro Chapter) is serving his third term on the the NSPE Critical Infrastructure/Homeland Security Task Force, and also represents the GSPE on the Facility Resilience Committee of the Georgia Office of Homeland Security. Several state Societies have formed engineering Task Forces on Homeland Security, and Gordon would like to establish one in Georgia. If you are interested in contributing your professional expertise and volunteer your time to support either the NSPE or State of Georgia homeland security efforts, please contact Gordon H. Terwillegar, P.E. (770-205-4900).


Engineering The Future Brochure (11” by 17” two sided color tri-fold)
This color brochure uses text and photographs to introduce engineering to middle school students. In question and answer format the brochure covers a definition of engineering, what engineers do, the different engineering disciplines, the impact on engineering on society, and an explanation of professional engineering registration. The photos were selected to engage students’ interest and to illustrate the result of engineering in areas that may not have occurred to the students. The goal was to have the students react with, “I didn’t think of that”, and “I want to do that”.   Click here to download a PDF version of this brochure.  If you need printed copies, please contact the Atlanta Metro Chapter of GSPE.
