Chinese-American Professors in Environmental Engineering and Science (CAPEES)
CAPEES was established in 2007 by a group of pioneering and visionary Chinese American professors such as Drs. C. P. Huang, Yuefeng Xie, Qilin Li and Ching-Hua Huang. Following the establishment, there have been 15 CAPEES presidents and their officer teams who contributed significantly the growth of CAPEES’s impact. Under these vibrant presidency leaderships, CAPEES has become the first and the largest academic association of Chinese environmental engineering and science scholars in North America (www.capees.org). In 2018, CAPEES was officially listed as a federal and state registered nonprofit organization under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c) (3). After more than a decade of development, CAPEES garners over 200 faculty and student members from North America and the rest of the world.
