About Us

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is an international organization founded to help "the global engineering community develop solutions to real world challenges... ASME is a not-for-profit professional organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the vital role of the engineer in society. ASME codes and standards, publications, conferences, continuing education and professional development programs provide a foundation for advancing technical knowledge and a safer world."

​

The NCSU student chapter of ASME was founded in 1920. We give students an opportunity to understand how their classes can be applied practically by competing in design competitions, as well as holding resume workshops, professional seminars with company representatives, social events, and service events. We also attend several professional development conferences every year.

​

ASME generally meets on Wednesday afternoons from 7:00pm to 8:00pm. The meetings are primarily for design and manufacturing for competitions. To participate in these meetings, one must be an Active Member, by paying the dues. Occasionally there will be open meetings that feature representatives from professional companies. These representatives provide insight on their company, and what an engineering career will be like after school. They are often seeking students for internships and co-op opportunities. Please refer to the Calendar for scheduled events and company meetings.  These meetings are typically held in room 2124 in Engineering Building 3 on Centennial Campus.

​

Although we are a mechanical engineering society, we welcome almost all majors to join and participate in our club. Some majors will benefit more than others, but we will guide all!
