LevelItem Repository nameScience and Industry Museum Associated people and organisationsManchester Association of Engineers The Association was established on the 14th January 1856 it began with informal meetings held in a city centre hotel and originally had as its members foremen and draughtsmen employed in local engineering firms. It was not until later that the employers of these men also joined the association, which discussed subjects which were of interest to engineers in general. As well as the early discussion groups a series of lectures were also introduced to present current developments in the engineering profession. The association also became interested in furthering the careers of young engineers, as well as those already in the profession. It proudly claims that the original purpose of the Association was "The bringing together of those engaged in the design, direction or superintendence of engineering works and operations, for mutual improvement and assistance, increase of acquaintance and for promoting frequent exchange of opinion on interesting questions constantly arising from the progressive nature of engineering." This it still does today through giving lectures, discussion sessions and visits to various engineering companies and establishments.
