[edit] History

ECMA was founded in the 1920s as a way by which engineering companies could attract engineering graduates through the publications that undergraduate engineering students produced. 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.
