About Us

From the Chair

Welcome to the 43rd year of the New Jersey Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE). As the only technical society encompassing all fields of endeavor in materials and processes, SAMPE provides a valuable forum for scientists, engineers and academics. SAMPE’s strength can be found in its vital core of local chapters, each with its own unique heritage and program offerings.
The centerpiece of the NJ SAMPE program is our monthly dinner meeting, held at the Bridgewater Manor in Bridgewater, NJ and occasionally at other local venues. This event features a wine-tasting social, followed by a full-course dinner and a contemporary presentation from industry peers. We encourage you to participate and network, either for business opportunities, recruitment or keeping up with industry trends, especially in the NJ/NY/CT/PA region.
Other benefits of NJ SAMPE include:

Promotional coverage of your company's product announcements, business activities and people
Opportunities to contribute to programs for international SAMPE conferences and trade shows
Educational support for our NYU Tandon School of Engineering student chapter, as well as regional student STEM outreach
Field trips to local companies active in our industry
Invitation to our Annual Golf Outing & Dinner

We invite you to discover our site and join our 60+ membership community.
Sincerely, Russ Caspe

Chair, NJ SAMPE

History

The first organizational meetings to form a New Jersey SAMPE Chapter were held in 1967. A Charter from the International SAMPE society formalizing our Chapter was received in April 1977. Since then the Chapter has sponsored Technical Conferences in 1981, 1989, 1998, 2009 and 2012 and International SAMPE Symposia in 1996, 1998 and 2002. Co-sponsorship years included 1994, 1996 and 2006. The Chapter was also awarded the International SAMPE Best Chapter Award in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001. The award was subsequently retired..
