The Chattanooga Engineers Club continues its 100th Anniversary celebration on Monday, March 25th at 6:30pm with a large gathering of members, former members, and friends.  (see separate listing for Session-1 at the Challenger Center starting at 4:00pm).

A brief reflection on the past 100 years of engineering will set the stage for Jacinda Woodward (TVA Senior Vice President for Power Operations) to anticipate the next 100 years.


The first hundred years of engineering and entrepreneurial spirit includes the first Coca-Cola bottler, birthplace of medical remedies Allegra and Rolaids, the tow truck and many others. It was the first Gig city in the US, and is home of Moon Pies, Double Cola and Little Debbie Snack cakes. The next hundred years in the Tennessee Valley will include the nation’s first distribution of small modular nuclear reactors, the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as well as virtual and augmented reality technologies.

The contributions of the engineering and science community for these entrepreneurial efforts has earned Chattanooga’s title “Dynamo of Dixie” for both the past and no doubt the future hundred years.
