American Society of Mechanical Engineers

Members Benefits

KU ASME hosts a variety of events throughout the year to provide our members with a diverse range of experiences that promote personal and professional growth. Our organization consists of four committees: Academic, Conference, Professional Development, and Technical Division. Academic Committee provides students with resources to succeed in their academic career. They will organize exam review sessions for difficult engineering courses along with FE exam informational events to prepare our senior students for the path to becoming a licensed professional engineer. Additionally, ASME hosts a podcast that interviews engineers to gain insight on various fields and careers. Conference Committee is tasked with hosting an annual EFx® conference that fosters a community of students and early career engineers focused on developing their skills and sharing their experiences. Our conference hosts competitions that put participants’ knowledge to the test, networking events to learn about each other’s experience, and workshops that improve soft skills and hard skills. Technical Division Committee produces events such as CAD workshops and RC car modification projects that offer our members the opportunity to apply their engineering knowledge and collaboration skills. Furthermore, the committee invites accomplished engineers and researchers to offer insight into the latest developments in the field of mechanical engineering.
