Celebrating Pride
ASME continues its commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals in and outside the engineering profession—during and beyond LGBTQ+ Pride Month. ASME celebrates and pays tribute to the diverse perspectives, accomplishments, and obstacles faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. This recognition extends to the entire engineering community, including ASME, as we actively work towards creating a more inclusive engineering field.
A Proud Father
Dave shares his lifelong engineering story, as well as that of his daughter, including her LGBTQ+ journey. He also sheds light on how and why ASME is committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
LGBTQ+ Scholarships
ASME Scholarships help to enable a cross-section of students with financial need to pursue an educational program in mechanical engineering or related field at the community college, undergraduate, and graduate levels. ASME has launched joint scholarships with oSTEM and Out to Innovate to recognize LGBTQ+ and engineering achievement! Learn more about eligibility and how to apply at go.asme.org/scholarships.
