history
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is an international professional organization. The professional society arranges conferences, organizes design contests, showcases new technology, sets ethical standards in engineering and develops codes and standards as well as other mechanical engineering related services. The 119,000-member American Society of Mechanical Engineers has served its members, industry, and government since its founding in 1880.
about NU-ASME
The student chapter is where it all begins!
By providing presentations from some of the top speakers in the most up-to-date areas of the mechanical engineering field, the student chapter enhances the student's educational experience. Through the use of engineering related design contests, we create interest and pride in mechanical engineering. And when the workload becomes overwhelming, we provide relaxing retreats to Fenway Park or friendly softball game outings with the faculty. But, that is not all that the ASME student chapter at Northeastern offers. We are in close contact with the MIE department and the College of Engineering to bring you your first glances at insider news such as new curriculum changes, department design contests and new computer lab developments. We also serve as a means for you to voice your concerns and opinions to the Department, College and the University.
get involved
There are numerous ways a student can get involved in ASME:
1.Become a member of ASME.
As a student member you receive numerous benefits from both ASME International and Northeastern ASME. With your student membership you receive a monthly subscription to Mechanical Engineering Magazine, have free access to conferences held by ASME, qualify for both scholarships and loans offered by ASME, get a free e-mail alias at asme.org, and many other benefits. NU ASME privides its members weekly seminars given by practicing engineers, entrepreneurs and officers of companies. Other chapter activities include contests in which devices are designed and built to meet specific requirements, annual ASME regional student conferences, volunteer activities and social outings.
You can apply for membership by picking up an application form in front of Professor Rossettos' office (201 SN) or our office (320 SN) or you can apply online here.
2. Attend our weekly meetings.
By attending our weekly meetings, you will be introduced to a variety of career paths, you will make valuable professional contacts and you will gain a better understanding of pratical aspects of the work place. And, of course, you can't forget about the free pizza. To find out more about our upcoming and past meetings and activities, go to our meetings page.
Note: All students and faculty are invited to attend all chapter meetings.
3. Become an Officer or Representative
If you want a challenging leadership experience, become an ASME Officer. Officers are the students that contact and arrange for speakers, organize and advertise the meetings, overlook the fundraising and finances of the chapter, and organize the various activities ASME sponsors. Aside from gaining leadership skills, officers get first-hand experience communicating with professional engineers and officers of companies; we gain presentation and communication skills by running and participating in officer and chapter meetings; and we earn recognition from faculty and students through our efforts to better the engineering community.
The Representative is an officer position, started in 1997, that opens the door for students reach their full potential as a student leader. The purpose of the position is to provide all students an opportunity to see what being an ASME Officer involves, to provide regular input to the activities ASME sponsors, and to gain valuable experience that will help the student become and succeed as an ASME Officer. The position requires no assigned responsibilities, but all Representatives are invited and encouraged to attend our weekly officers meeting.
In addition to the aforementioned benefits, both ASME Officers and Representatives have the opportunity to participate in the College of Engineering Student Advisory Committee (SAC), MIE Department Student Advisory Board (SAB) meetings, and the annual College of Engineering Leadership Retreat. The SAC is composed of leaders from the engineering student groups that meet once a month with the Dean of Engineering to discuss issues related to the College and University. The SAB meets quarterly with the Chair of the MIME department to discuss issues related to the department and how the MIME department can better serve its students.
To get involved, contact us at asme@coe.neu.edu or speak to an officer at our next meeting.
