Profile: Arizona Council of Engineering and Scientific Associations

The mission of ACESA is to support, promote and coordinate the programs and activities of the engineering and science associations of Arizona.


ACESA was created in the 1950s by the leaders of various professional societies in the valley to coordinate and enhance their ability to achieve their individual society objectives. ACESA continues to support the societies by operating as an umbrella organization and providing a communications infrastructure.

Society representatives and other volunteers meet once a month to exchange information and provide support for each other’s activities. Since community interfacing and various educational competitions are multidisciplinary, ACESA is the primary means of disseminating information and promoting these activities. Members can also broadcast their activity information (messages, announcements and questions) to the rest of the subscribers.
