Abstract
The first societies of engineers in Romania appeared at the end of the nineteenth century. The chapter presents the context of the emergence of these societies and the main personalities who played an essential role in their establishment. The evolution of these societies in the interwar period and in the communist period is also presented. The political changes after 1989 led to the revival and restructuring of these societies as well as the establishment of the Technical Sciences Academy of Romania. The chapter also presents information about the periodical publications of engineering societies.
