The Engineering Society of Buffalo, Inc. (ESB) was founded in 1894 when a civil engineer, George R. Sikes, formed a “Society of Engineers” in the committee room of the common council of the City of Buffalo.  ESB was incorporated in 1920 and, in more recent years, was declared as a non-for-profit Section 501(c)(3) organization.  Contributions to the society are tax deductible.  ESB's primary goals are the professional development of engineers in Western New York, providing scholarships to academically qualified graduating high school seniors majoring in engineering, and promoting the interests of its corporate partners.  ESB provides the following to the engineering community:
