About
Since
its founding in 1880 the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
has strived to be the premier worldwide organization for promoting the art,
science, and practice of mechanical engineering. Today ASME is comprised of
over 125,000 members from around the globe, making up over 400 sections and
student sections including Iowa State University's. The society serves
engineering professionals, students, and educators alike.
The Iowa State University section of ASME is completely student run. It
provides student members with the opportunities to grow beyond the
classroom. The section has many activities throughout the academic year
that are geared towards extended learning. These include industry sponsored
meetings, professional discussions, and design contests.
Company reps frequently visit our regularly scheduled general meetings and
Friday After Class (FAC) social events to meet members and talk about their
company.
