About MEA
Muslim Engineers of America exists to create what we always needed — a professional home where Muslim engineers can connect, be seen, and advance together.
Our Mission
"MEA serves as a central hub where Muslim professionals across companies, disciplines, and universities can connect, share opportunities, build mentorship relationships, and support each other's advancement."
By fostering a strong community rooted in faith and professional excellence, MEA aims to make career development, referrals, and networking more accessible — ultimately helping Muslim engineers thrive and lead in the American engineering landscape.
Our Vision
We envision a future where Muslim engineers are connected, represented, and leading across every sector of American industry — from civil and mechanical to software and aerospace.
Modeled after established organizations like the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), MEA is building the infrastructure — chapters, conferences, mentorship programs, and partnerships — to serve Muslim engineers at scale.
What We Stand For
We believe that being a Muslim and being a world-class engineer are not in tension — they are mutually reinforcing. We pursue excellence in both.
We build genuine relationships, not transactional networks. MEA is a space where Muslim engineers support one another unconditionally.
MEA welcomes Muslim engineers of every background, discipline, career stage, and university — we are stronger together.
We work to democratize access to referrals, mentorship, and career opportunities so that no Muslim engineer is left without support.
We are not here just to participate — we are here to lead. MEA equips engineers to take on leadership roles in their companies and communities.
We hold ourselves to the highest professional standards, building an organization whose name carries weight in corporate America and academia.
Why MEA
Organizations like SWE and NSBE have transformed the careers of millions of engineers by creating dedicated professional communities. Muslim engineers deserve the same.
MEA is the first national organization purpose-built for Muslim engineering professionals and students in America.
Established models we admire
Founding Team
MEA was founded by a small team of Muslim engineering professionals who saw the gap and decided to build the solution. More to come as we grow.
