Professional Development • Technical Innovation • Community Impact
The Raleigh Engineers Club (REC) was founded in 1926. The club promotes the engineering profession by providing monthly, technically-oriented meetings and supports those pursuing a future in an engineering discipline. We also award an annual scholarship to a graduating Wake County high school senior with plans to enter the College of Engineering at NC State University. Our members have a diverse background of engineering disciplines and represent a wide range businesses and government agencies, in the Raleigh area.
The Raleigh Engineers Club has monthly mid-day meetings that cover engineering topics of interest to all types of engineers and people interested in engineering activities, regardless of discipline. The Raleigh Engineers Club is a NC Board of Registration for Engineers Certified Provider of Professional Development Hours (PDH credits) for licensed engineers. One meeting each year is dedicated to our scholarship award and an update from NCSU on College of Engineering enrollment and graduate data. Note that you do not need to be a licensed engineer or a graduate engineer to be a member!
