SAE International is a global association of more than 128,000 engineers and related technical experts in the aerospace, automotive and commercial-vehicle industries. SAE International’s core competencies are life-long learning and voluntary consensus standards development. SAE International’s charitable arm is the SAE Foundation, which supports many programs, including A World In Motion® and the Collegiate Design Series.
Originally founded as the Society of Automotive Engineers, SAE officially changes its name to SAE International to reflect the increasingly international scope of its activities and inclusion of a growing membership of aerospace engineers.
