Created on October 1, 2007, the Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI)  replaces the former ASCE Engineering Mechanics Division. EMI has two annual conferences, one in the United States and another internationally. These conferences offer a place to exchange ideas, present your work, and see what others are doing. The fundamental advances in engineering mechanics are here on display. These conferences present premier opportunities to network with leaders in the field, expand your horizons, and establish professional relationships to advance your research and your career. EMI conferences also showcase some of the brightest students who participate in student competitions.
