Who we are…

The Chicago Section of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) is a vibrant community of engineers and scientists who are passionate about understanding friction, wear, and lubrication.

Here’s what you need to know.


ONE: Size Matters

The Chicago Section happens to be the largest in the entire STLE organization, boasting close to 275 members. That’s a lot of tribology enthusiasts right here in the Windy City!

TWO: What We Do

We’re not just sitting around, twiddling our thumbs. Nope! We’re busy creating technical and networking events like Monthly Technical Meetings, Social Outings, Education Programs, and more!

THREE: Outreach

We’re not just an exclusive club. Nope! We’re all about spreading the tribology love. Our outreach efforts cover Membership, STEM Programs, and Scholarships.

FOUR: Get Involved

If you’re curious about tribology (and who wouldn’t be?), consider joining or volunteering. Visit the National STLE site or reach out to one of our friendly outreach committee members.
