The AEA - A Voice For Engineers
The American Engineering Association Inc. (AEA) is dedicated to the enhancement
of the engineering profession and U.S. Engineering Capabilities. AEA is a
strong advocate for providing opportunities for US engineers and is involved in
issues of utilization, skill enhancement, loss of
jobs, offshore manufacturing, layoffs, and many others that affect the lives and professional welfare of
our engineers. For membership information see;

AEA Needs Engineers
We are making a determined effort to oppose legislation that will increase the number of imported engineers,
programmers, information technologists and high tech STEM workers. To do this we need your help.
Legislation, increasing the number of imported engineers and high tech workers, discriminates against all
members of the American Engineering community, deprives us of job opportunities and reduces salaries for
American professionals. Bringing Manufacturing back to the U.S.A. is also
a major concern.
It makes no difference whether one has resided in the U.S. for 40 years or 40 minutes. One new imported
professional will replace one US professional and 200,000 imported workers will replace 200,000 US workers.
This legislation affects us all. Sooner of later everyone will be affected. Importing foreign workers
affects us by depressing labor pay rates and deprives us of skill enhancement opportunities.
Discarding senior and mid career engineers and professionals, cultured by years of experience, and replacing
them with cheap foreign workers is detrimental to the profession and U.S. Engineering capabilities.
To win this fight we need the support of members of the American Engineering Community. We invite engineers,
programmers and all high tech workers to join our fight. You can help your profession and job situation by
joining and supporting our efforts.
See our Position about Employing American Professionals and our Opposition to Importing Foreign Workers.

Remember! Join AEA today and send our Position to your Representatives. Let them know we represent your interests.
AEA Benefits
What you don’t get
And
What you get
What you don’t get:
No pens, pins, hats, T-shirts, jackets, ties, calculators, membership cards, trinkets, titles,
false images or pretense at supporting American engineers’ professional needs.
No division of the Engineering Community by discipline. i.e. AE ME, CE, EE, etc.
No membership fees close to, or in excess of $100 per year.
No activities detrimental to the Engineering profession, i.e. efforts to shift funding from
NASA’s Space Station Freedom to the National Science Foundation, NSF.
No brochures with labor shortage fabrications or student recruiting for the universities or
Engineering colleges.
No support for the government’s “Shortage Shouting” National Science Foundation.
No support for legislation to import more foreign Engineers, Programmers or STEM professionals.
No misuse of National Engineers’ Week to introduce and seduce our K-12 children to the engineering schools.
No efforts to increase the Engineering and STEM work force Supply/Demand Ratio.
You can get all of the above from the historical, antiquated engineering societies driven by the
greed of the College Empire and Corporate America. These group activities are detrimental to your
career and profession.
What you get:
We provide members with their own AEA Email address, example: TJones@aea.org to reach Congress and others and show your professional unity.
We provide dedication, sincerity, and respect with a mission to enhance the careers of practicing Engineers.
We provide the opportunity to support AEA’s efforts and participate both actively and financially
to enhance the profession. Our annual fees are $30 or less.
We unite Engineers from all Engineering Disciplines.
We use National Engineers’ Week to honor and respect our Engineers from all disciplines and industries.
http://www.aea.org/HonorEngineers.htm.We provide the facts about our government’s shady NSF.
http://www.aea.org/CONGRESSvsNS.doc
We oppose importing foreign engineers and debunked the engineering shortage propaganda drafted
by the National Science Foundation. http://www.aea.org/nsf.htm
We provide informative Position Papers beneficial to the public and supportive of the
Engineering Profession. http://www.aea.org/positionPapers.htm
We strive to reduce the labor Supply/Demand Ratio to increase opportunities for American professionals.
We educate the public, elected representatives and the engineering community and provide them
with the facts about issues of concern.
http://www.aea.org/pdf/NSF_Effects_Legislation.pdf.
We support members from all industries, branches and specialties of the engineering community,
providing the potential of becoming the largest and most influential Engineering organization
in the world.
Our members are involved from microcircuits to transmission lines, go-carts to moon shots, energy
conversion to energy conservation and from the ocean depths to outer space.
We are the only engineering association dedicated to the professional needs and concerns of the
U.S. Engineering Community.
Remember: When you support the other pseudo engineering societies you are contributing
to the destruction of your Engineering career. Think about this when dues time comes in the Fall.

A New Beginning for AEA
Everyone has heard how the American Medical Association (AMA) serves the medical
profession and doctors, supporting them and providing information to the public.
Now, consider how we can build the American Engineering Association (AEA) into
such a prestigious group for Engineers. Briefly, an AMA for Engineers. This is
something we truly need to continue to ensure that American engineers are the
best, most qualified and experienced engineers in the world today. To this end
we plan to make some changes – thus, “A New Beginning.”
To standardize and simplify our records: AEA dues/fees will be payable based on the
calendar year, and no longer as a subscription beginning with the date you join
and ending a year later. The current dues payment will cover the present
through Dec. 31, 2008.
Next, to build AEA into a formidable Engineering organization capable of dealing with the
professional concerns of our members and those of the Engineering community, we
will be improving AEA’s organizational structure. By this we mean to recruit
AEA Section representatives, set up AEA Sections around the country, hold local
meetings, and enlist AEA Directors to represent each of the major Engineering
disciplines. These Directors should address the specific professional concerns
and issues related to their discipline along with issues and concerns relating
to all engineering fields. Thus uniting the entire profession.
Until
now, engineers have been divided by discipline and even sex. That’s over! With
AEA we find unity.1.
Finally,
my goal has always been to ”Enhance the Engineering Profession and U.S.
Engineering Capabilities.” This means not only uniting engineers from all
disciplines and addressing their important needs to insure a full and successful
lifetime career, but also taking these needs, along with solutions, directly to
our Representatives in Washington. This will require a staff and office in the
Washington D.C. area, plus representation on the Hill.
All of these goals depend upon YOU, the members of the Engineering community. With
your support and desire to enhance our profession I know we will succeed.2.
Please,
join us in our quest for a better profession.
Sincerely,
Richard F. Tax
President
