The Five Fundamental Actions of the API

The API is committed to actively promoting, across all American countries, the importance, relevance, transcendence and value of Engineering for the future of our world. To achieve this goal, the API has been running the five actions below:

1st Action:

Establish a constant presence of the Academy in the countries of the Americas, and before national, regional and continental organizations, establishing exchanges and strong collaborative ties.

2nd Action:

Diversify the Academy with an infusion of diverse engineering leaders from the new generations (men and women), who represent the future of Engineering.

3rd Action:

Create the capacity to address the existing connection between energy, food production and water distribution, through the planning, design, construction, implementation of logistics and operational systems and maintenance of infrastructure projects for sustainability.

4th Action:

Build capacity to develop plans for: (1) Preparing for potential disasters caused by natural phenomena and weather changes, which have negative impacts and effects on urban and neighboring sectors, infrastructure systems and buildings.

5th Action:

Build the capacity to actively participate and contribute to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals at four levels: (1) the individual professional level; (2) at the level of companies that do consulting in engineering, design, construction, operations and maintenance; (3) at the level of professional organizations; and (4) at the level of research and academic teaching.

Recognition and Responsibility of Academics

The members of The Academy constitute an exclusive community of outstanding professionals in the practice and teaching of Engineering called to practice engineering with the highest standards of ethics and responsibility, as a model and example of professionals committed to the well-being of society and humanity.

Lifetime Opportunities for Development

The Academy offers an open exchange of knowledge (best practices), experiences (lessons learned), intelligence (judgment) and wisdom (insight), making it an essential value of lifelong learning.

Enrollment Activities

The Academy offers a wide variety of activities, not only for members, but also for engineering professionals, independent educators, as well as for those constituents involved in Engineering, from the annual Policy Forum, which is held together with the API Annual Convention, to specific regional events in the countries of the Americas and collaborations with other institutions and organizations from all over the world.
