ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

Between Worlds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Relatively few Native Americans become engineers. The barriers to increasing those numbers are issues such as poverty, poor schools, and a lack of role models. In this article, Native American engineers talk about their ...
Digital-Skilled Jobs of Tomorrow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The current engineering labor force may not be equipped to manage the new digital tools employers want to utilize.
New Horizons for Geothermal Energy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The geothermal heat resource is not limited the way fuel or iron or other materials are. But the low efficiency of geothermal power systems is unsatisfying and contributes to often-poor economics. To improve efficiency, ...
Supply Chain Kinks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: GM, Ford, and other automakers are chasing Tesla in the manufacture and marketing of electric vehicles. In turn this is sparking an upheaval the auto industry has not seen since Henry Ford’s Model T, which introduced ...
Gaining Altitude
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Annual surveys of the gas turbine industry began in 1999. Over that time, the industry as a whole has seen steady growth with two large anomalies, including the plunge produced by the COVID-19 pandemic. In both the zoomed ...
The Case for Waste to Energy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is a better way of handling MSW that is not or cannot be recycled: thermal conversion, also called waste to energy. These facilities feed waste into a combustion chamber with air and incinerate it. The heat released ...
What the Home of the Future is Missing Today
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A few household robots are on the market today. But, none of those could be confused with Rosie the Robot, the muliply capable robot on The Jetsons. That raises the question: As technology advances, what will it take for ...
War Dogs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As robots become more advanced and more autonomous, they will be asked to do tasks that humans need done, but don’t want to do themselves. Unfortunately, in some cases, those tasks may include going to war. Ghost Robotics ...
Silicon Continent
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While agriculture and natural resources have been the main exports for Sub-Saharan Africa, investment in high tech and digital technologies is beginning to build. Across the continent, bets on high-tech manufacturing are ...
Collaborations that Forge the Future
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A recent research initiative promoted with federal funding provides an excellent example of how ASME continues to push the boundary toward cleaner, more efficient transportation.
