Unions and Associations

Some engineers are represented by the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers; International Union of Electrical Workers/Communications Workers of America; International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace; and other unions.

Professional associations offer many useful resources such as membership, networking events, training opportunities, and certification. For example, the Association for Advancing Automation represents more than 1,300 organizations involved in robotics, machine vision and imaging, motion control and motors, artificial intelligence, and related automation technologies. It offers certification, conferences, networking opportunities, and other resources. Other useful organizations include the ARM Institute, FAME USA, IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, International Society of Automation, and Measurement, Control & Automation Association.
