ISA South
Jersey Section
Celebrating our 39th
Year
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 at the Elephant &
Castle Restaurant in Cherry Hill, NJ. One or two meetings
are held outside the restaurant at different locations
and/or private facilities. The remaining meetings are
social functions which include Field Trip and Annual
Golf Outing.
About the ISA:
ISA, The Instrumentation, Systems, and
Automation Society, is an international organization 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.
