"Technology Serving Arizona Business, Industry,
Education, and Government"
ACESA is a communications network into Arizona's
pool of scientific, engineering, and technical practicing professionals.
The mission of ACESA is to support, promote and coordinate the programs and
activities of the engineering and science associations of Arizona.
ACESA was created in the 1950s by the leaders of various professional societies
in the valley to coordinate and enhance their ability to achieve their
individual society objectives. ACESA continues to support the societies by
operating as an umbrella organization and providing a communications
infrastructure.
Society representatives and other volunteers meet once a month to exchange
information and provide support for each other’s activities. Since community
interfacing and various educational competitions are multidisciplinary, ACESA is
the primary means of disseminating information and promoting these activities.
Members can also broadcast their activity information (messages, announcements
and questions) to the rest of the subscribers.

Numerous special awards also are given to students whose work represents the
interests of sponsors who provide special awards.

awards based on the achievements of their students. In addition, one teacher is selected to receive the AzSEF

Teachers will participate in specially designed workshops
