Summary

edit

Society Name: Society of Civil Engineers

Country: England

City: London

Active Dates: 1771-present

The society was founded by a group of engineers who dined together. They did this in order to better aquaint themselves to avoid any possible hostility when dealing with each other in a public setting. After the death of one of its founders, Smeaton, in 1793 the group renewed itself. With its renewal came a new goal to promote and communicate advances in engineering to all public and private civil engineers.
