ISA South Jersey Section
Who We Are:
The ISA South Jersey
Section was organized in 1968, and was an outgrowth of the Philadelphia
Section. Its purpose is to establish and maintain a forum for South
Jersey engineers and technicians interested in the advancement of the
theory, design, manufacture, and application and use of sensors,
instruments, computers, and systems for measurement and control. To
continually excel in the provision of services to the Society and to the
Industry.
 Accomplishments include
significant input into Society's technical, research, and standards
committees, including Section members assigned to national and district committees.
The South Jersey Section annually sponsors local meetings and seminars on
instrumentation and systems and other technical issues, holds Basic and
Advanced Level I, II, and III training courses on instrumentation and
systems, and provides partial scholarships to deserving engineering
students at local universities.
The Section holds 7 monthly meetings a year
beginning in September, the majority of which are held in the Cherry
Hill, NJ area. The remaining meetings are social functions which include
Field Trips, Joint Section Meetings and Annual Golf Outing.
About the ISA:
ISA, The International Society of Automation, is an iorganization of approximately 38,000 members in 100 countries,
including engineers, technicians, and other professionals and
practitioners within the field of instrumentation, systems and
automation. There are 190 ISA Sections that serve local members. There
are 21 Technical Divisions in ISA. The Society was organized in 1945, as
the Instrument Society of America in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The
Society grew out of the desire of 18 local instrument societies to form a
national organization. Its objectives as stated in the Bylaws,
"....to advance and to reinforce the arts and sciences related to
the theory, design, manufacture and use of instrumentation, computers and
systems for measurement and control in the various sciences and
technologies for the benefit of mankind."
 The Society continues to
expand its products and services, increasing the size and scope of the
ISA conference and exhibition, developing symposia, offering professional
development and training, adding to technical Divisions, and even
producing films about measurement and control. Each year through its
Honors and Awards program ISA recognizes outstanding technical
contributions by individuals to the instrumentation, systems, and
automation profession. Education scholarships are also a priority for
ISA. Major publications include the Society's official publication, The InTech Magazine, which contains information on
technical news and products; the ISA News and Views, a members only
monthly which features news and relevant information for all ISA members;
ISA Directory; On-line ISA Standards access; E-News & Views; Motion
Control Magazine; and ISA Transactions, a quarterly publication that
prints the best articles about measurement and control.
