We promote the model of the societal engineer under the mission of ASME and seek to provide students with the opportunity to explore the field of mechanical engineering while developing professional skills. This year, we are introducing many new, exclusive, and exciting events that include detailed presentations from company representatives, one-to-one recruiting events, and pre-career fair preparation. ASME@BU will focus on career mentorship and give you a great view of the world of jobs in the industry.\u00a0In the past, we have brought to campus Boston Dynamics and MathWorks, hosted representatives from graduate programs at Georgia Tech and Johns Hopkins, and organized review lectures for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asme.org\/about-asme\">Learn more about ASME on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-18 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/bostonDynamics.png'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/bostonDynamics-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Boston Dynamics Event\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/blockParty.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/blockParty-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Engineering Block Party\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/blockParty-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/blockParty-636x636.jpg 636w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/blockParty-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/blockParty-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/blockParty.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/generalElectric.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/generalElectric-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Lecture Event at EPIC\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/PHO-1.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/asme\/files\/2020\/06\/PHO-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Photonics Center\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About ASME The American Society of Mechanical Engineers is a not-for-profit professional organization that harnesses the strength of its global community to develop solutions to real-world challenges.\u00a0Since its founding in 1880, ASME has been advancing collaboration across all disciplines of engineering and career development for its network of more than 100,000 members.
