The Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) is an international professional member society. SAMPE provides the global forum for information, education and professional fellowship for those who define the leading edge and application of materials and process development.[1]
SAMPE bridges the gap between industry and acedemia, making progressively important developments in the industry possible. These developments directly impact the public in the way of automotive, aircraft, bio-medical, and renewable energy developments, among many others.[2]
History
SAMPE was formed by nine Southern California aerospace professionals concerned with the lack of materials and need to economize. They formed a network of material and process engineers to provide a means for information exchange and to prevent the duplication of effort among companies working toward a common goal.[3]
They formed the Society of Aircraft Material and Process Engineers in 1944. It was renamed as the Society of Aerospace Material and Process Engineers in the late 1950s as a result of the developing interest in space travel. SAMPE was later renamed as the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering in 1973, to reflect membership growth beyond the aerospace industry.
Outreach
SAMPE sponsors an annual student leadership competition for student engineers. The SAMPE Student Leader Experience Award sends eligible students to the SAMPE International Spring Symposium & Exhibition to network and increase their understanding of the Materials and Processes community.[4]
SAMPE offers a variety of resources through its website, including information about educational resources, employment opportunities, and a list of global chapters.
