Our local Metro Detroit and Michigan Engineering Community is one of the largest in the world, which means that there is quite a bit of engineering activity going on all around us, all the time.

On one hand this is great news because there are likely be one of more events perfectly suited for your specific interests and needs. But on the other hand, it sure can be frustrating and time-consuming having to locate, sort through, and evaluate hundreds of events! Luckily, at least to some extent, EngineeringEvents.Org can come to the rescue.

Although there is certainly some overlap and ambiguity, EngineeringEvents.Org has developed a classification system that organizes engineering events by Intended Audience, Event Purpose and Objectives, Industry, Branch of Engineering, and Event Type. This  to make it easier to find the precise event or events you are most interested as quickly as possible:
