About the Engineering Mechanics Institute
The Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) was created on October 1, 2007 to serve the engineering community through the development and application of engineering mechanics by anticipating and adapting to new challenges that will face tomorrow's engineers, and to provide a home not only for those involved in the traditional disciplines but also for those involved with emerging areas of mechanics.
