In the spring of 2010 SMEITS (Serbian Union of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering) celebrates its 59th anniversary as an independent organization. The Society of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers and Technicians (DMEITS), as SMEITS was called until 1963, grew up from the Belgrade Section of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering of the Society of Engineers and Technicians. Even in the first year of its independent activity, it became a large and influential society, with about 15 branches in all major cities of Serbia, and at the end of that year, the Society had exactly 2,830 registered members, engineers and technicians, predominantly of electrical and mechanical profession. |
