APETT - Association of Professional Engineers of Trinidad & Tobago

The Association of Professional Engineers of Trinidad and Tobago had it first official meeting on 8th June 1959, at which meeting a constitution was formally adopted. This meeting, which owed much to the initiative and farsightedness of Eng.Curtis Knight, was a result of many months of planning and organization by a small group of dedicated engineers. Eng. Rupert Aleong was elected the first President of the association and served in this capacity in 1959 and 1960.
