The Power of Learning
The Power of Learning
From Artificial Intelligence to new advancements in sustainability, the engineering industry is ever-changing. For engineers, learning doesn’t stop when we earn our degrees. We must continually prepare ourselves to solve the challenges of today and tomorrow.
Continuous learning helps engineers stay at the forefront of industry trends and evolving best practices. By adapting to new tools, methodologies, and innovations, engineers can maintain their competitive edge and effectively solve complex problems.
There are a wide variety of certifications and accreditations available to engineers. ASME, for example, has developed microcredentials, which are specialized training programs that provide individuals with a digital badge or certificate upon completion of a learning program focusing on a specific skill or set of skills. ASME's Bolted Flange Joint Assembly Program provides a digital badge certifying Bolted Flange Joint expertise that can be shared on social media and digital resumes.
In addition to technical expertise, soft skills learning is crucial for engineers. Soft skills courses expand on modern workplace skills including communication, project management, and digital fluency to anticipate and conquer a variety of workplace challenges.
Learning & Development is essential to our work at ASME. Our L&D team was recognized as one of the top 10 learning & development teams in the world in 2024 by the OnCon Icon Awards. The ASME L&D team manages our online course builder, where engineers can contribute to the future development of Mechanical Engineering by developing courses that provide practical, job-relevant skills to ASME’s community of learners.
If you are interested in developing and teaching your own course, you can learn more here: Course Builder.
Whether you are furthering your own skills or sharing your knowledge with others, learning plays an essential role in every engineer’s career. This ongoing growth ensures that engineers can meet the demands of an increasingly dynamic world.
