Welcome to ECOB: Where Things Get Done.

ECOB exists to serve, support and connect the engineering community. A community that gets more things done for our very quality of life than anyone outside the profession realizes.

We’re an association of member Societies — engineering and technical — coordinating and promoting their goals and activities in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston and Gadsden. Goals and activities — educational, civic and social — that are beyond the scope of any one Society.

We offer individual and corporate members unmatched opportunities for expanding their networks among like-minded professionals.

We serve the greater community by offering advisory support to Civic Organizations and Local Governments.

We host a banquet that attracts hundreds of attendees annually — during which, we recognize outstanding achievements made by selected members, including:

  • Engineer of the Year
  • Young Engineer of the Year
  • Engineering Educator of the Year
  • Distinguished Service Award

Finally, and most importantly, we’re helping build a brighter future for our profession as a whole:

  • Supporting High School and College students pursuing engineering educations.
  • Awarding merit-based scholarships to students who will study engineering at Alabama schools.
  • Encouraging engineering graduates to pursue employment in the Greater Birmingham Metropolitan area.

In short, when the engineering community looks to get things done, they look to ECOB. Join us today!
