Our
Chapter remains committed to furthering the goals of the
American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Founded in 1880 as the American
Society
of Mechanical Engineers, today's ASME is a 120,000-member professional
organization
focused on technical, educational and research issues of the
engineering
and technology community. ASME conducts one of the world's largest
technical publishing operations, holds numerous technical conferences
worldwide, and
offers hundreds of professional development courses each year. ASME
sets
internationally recognized industrial and manufacturing codes and
standards
that enhance public safety.
The work of the Society is performed by its member-elected
Board
of Governors and through its five Councils, 44 Boards and hundreds of
Committees
in 13 regions throughout the world. There are a combined 400 sections
and
student sections serving ASME's worldwide membership.
Our Florida West Coast Chapter was founded in 1963. We have
approximately
800 ASME members, covering a large geographical area from Hernando
County
to the North, to Lee County to the South and Polk County to the East.
Vision: To be the premier organization for promoting
the art,
science and practice of mechanical and multidisciplinary engineering
and
allied sciences to our diverse communities throughout the world.
Mission:
To promote and enhance the technical competency
and
professional well being of our members, and through quality programs
and
activities in mechanical engineering, better enable its practitioners
to
contribute to the well being of humankind.
Our Web Site is designed to keep you updated on the many
