CESASC History

The association was founded in 1962 as "Chinese Engineers' Club of Southern California". The name was changed to "Chinese-American Engineers and Scientists Association of Southern California" in 1968. Its mission is to serve as a platform to enrich their competence through technical conferences and workshops, to showcase their accomplishments through its annual Achievement Awards, to broaden their career perspectives through global and local networking, and to protect their interests and rights through organizational efforts. In 2011, CESASC was honored by the Chinese American Museum (CAM) as the recipient of the Excellence in Science and Engineering Leadership Award in CAM’s 15th Annual History maker’s Awards Ceremony.

Since 1969, CESASC has presented Achievement Awards to recognize the individuals who have made significant contributions to engineering and science, or those with distinguished professional career in the United States. Our previous award recipients included Nobel Laureates, members of US National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering and Institute of Medicine, Corporate and University executives, members of Committee 100, as well as public officials.

 

南加州中華科工學會(CESASC)成立於1962年,該非營利專業團體是南加地區歷史最悠久的科技學會之一,任職於南加州多所高科技企業公司的華裔科工專業人士組成,致力於會員間的交流、會員及團體權益福祉、科技交流、以及就業與教育相關資訊的分享。

學會定期舉辦年會提供專題講座,並頒發成就獎。2009年諾貝爾獎得主高錕是1981年成就獎得主。曾擔任演講人,或出席領取成就獎的人士有丁肇中、楊振寧、李政道、李遠哲等諾貝爾獎得主,吳健雄、吳耀祖、錢煦、朱經武等美、中、台兩岸三地科學、工程學院及中央研究院院士。

學會也舉辦大型科技研討會,包括航太、資訊科技、環保運輸、生物醫學、光電、建築、電子商務、管理科學、奈米科技等主題包羅萬象。並邀請主流公司以展覽方式提供最新動態。協會也曾主辦青少年科工計畫競賽和學生科研成果展。2010年9月才洛杉磯加大聯合主辦「奈米材料和應用元件國際研討會」。
