ASME Programs

We believe engineering drives human progress, and today, more than ever, communities need engineering.

Through the generosity and support of the mechanical engineering community, ASME has cultivated a portfolio of programs that focus on the future of the engineering and its value for society. We develop talent and enable the profession to utilize their “engineering toolbox” to benefit humankind.

ASME’s Programs provide a forward-facing set of initiatives that span K-12 STEM education, college and early career programs and events, public policy, and global development. As passionate supporters of the engineering profession, we work at the intersection of diverse disciplines; we connect people from across a wide network, enabling us to deliver on our core mission: motivating, equipping and encouraging engineers to solve problems that benefit humankind.
