(ETSCO) was incorporated in June 1964 as a non-profit umbrella organization that "spoke for" and maintained communications with enigneering organizations and profesionals. The Engineers Club of Philadelphia was a member of ETSCO, as were dozens of other organizations, such as the Franklin Institute, the American Institute of Plant Engineers, the Engineering Alumni Society of the University of Pennsylvania, the Society of Women Engineers, and the Institute of Eletrical and Electronics Engineers.
