Dayton Innovation Legacy
The tradition of excellence goes far beyond founders Charles Kettering, Edward Deeds and Orville Wright, or even engineering itself. The Foundation helps to preserve and communicate the unsung achievements of more recent Club members.
Ropewalk
An award-winning documentary film sponsored by the Engineers Club of Dayton Foundation and the Cordage Institute, Ropewalk tells the story of a local industry’s place in world history through industrialization and globalization. The non-profit film was completely funded by donations and sales, allowing the free distribution of over 500 copies to schools, libraries, museums, and historical societies. Proceeds from DVD sales benefit the Foundation’s education projects.
