Organization of the engineering profession

This searching consideration of the question of organizing or reorganizing the engineering profession is presented for the purpose of stimulating additional thought and discussion by the entire AIEE membership. The author, speaking in the light of experience as president of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers and vice-chairman of the AIEE membership committee, supports Plan B of the various proposals of the AIEE planning and co-ordination committee's professional activities subcommittee (EE, Apr '46, pp 169–73). He urges that collaboration and co-operation are more effective than attempted consolidation in view of the great diversity of interests among engineers.
