Abstract :
With the printing of its constitution, the Schenectady Engineering Council completes a series of articles in the Schenectady Engineering Council Bulletin outlining the history of the growth of the council and describing its aims and activities. The council is a continuation of the old co-ordinating committee of AIEE, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Welding Society, and the New York State Society of Professional Engineers, which has functioned since 1936. Because its objectives and membership have been broadened to include the interests of the community, as well as all technical and scientific persons, it has been felt important to publish this series in order to acquaint the societies, their members, and the community in general with the new organization.
