History

According to the American Society for Engineering Education's "Prism Magazine", "ECMA was created in the 1920s to be a single interface for companies wanting to recruit engineering graduates through ads in the magazines published by engineering colleges." [Gardner, R. (2005, March). [http://www.prism-magazine.org/mar05/tt_on_campus.cfm The Write Time and Place] . "ASEE Prism," 14(7).] There are records of ECMA member publications meeting for conferences as early as 1923. [Smart, J.W. (Ed.). (1923, March). [http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/UW/UW-idx?type=turn&entity=UW.WIEv27no6.p0017&isize=M Engineering college magazines, associated, holds convention at Urbana] . "Wisconsin Engineer", 27(6), 105-107.]

Over the years, ECMA has evolved into more of a professional society, granting acclaim to student engineering publications and allowing students’ access to many top workers in the publication industry, as well as the knowledge they possess.Every year, one school receives the honor of hosting the ECMA conference. The hosting university then has the opportunity to showcase their magazine, their university, and their way of life.
