ASHRAE - American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers The Society is organized for the sole purpose of advancing the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration for the public's benefit through research, standards writing, continuing education, and publications.

NAPE - National Association of Power Engineers - The society is dedicated to the principles of education, knowledge, training, and career enhancement for its members.

ITE - Institute of Transportation Engineers - ITE members are traffic engineers, transportation planners, and other professionals who are responsible for meeting society's needs for safe and efficient surface transportation through planning, designing, implementing, operating, and maintaining surface transportation systems worldwide.

International Federation of Robotics - The purpose of the International Federation of Robotics is to promote research, development, use and international co-operation in the entire field of robotics to act as a focal point for organisations and governmental representatives in activities related to robotics.

NIST - National Institute of Standards and Technology - NIST is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration. NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.

RETA - Refrigerating Engineers and Technicians Association - RETA (established 1910) is an international society composed of men and women involved in the safe and efficient operation, service and design of industrial refrigeration systems. RETA s mission is to enhance the professional development of industrial refrigeration operators and technical engineers. Educational material and an operators certification program is available.

ALA - Association of Laboratory Automation - ALA is the only international organization devoted exclusively to the unique professional specialty known as laboratory automation. As such, ALA serves academic, commercial and government researchers, scientists and engineers from around the world who conduct research and develop new technologies to increase productivity, elevate experimental data quality, reduce lab process cycle times, or enable experimentation that otherwise would be impossible.
