The Society of Allied Weight Engineers is an international organization whose purpose is to promote the recognition of Weight Engineering as a specialized branch of engineering. The Society is organized into 22 chapters with members from across the United States, Brazil, Europe, United Kingdom, and Canada. The Society offers to members and industry a medium for the pooling and exchange of data and experience at local and regional levels, fostering a higher degree of efficiency in mass properties engineering topics. Regular chapter, regional and international meetings provide an opportunity for mass properties engineers to meet and to discuss mutual problems, procedures and specifications, thus broadening their individual horizons and becoming better informed.
