American Society of Mechanical Engineers Fall 2013 General Body Meeting #1

Officers President: Morgan McClure Vice President: Andrew Brow Treasurer: Nicole Racine Secretary: Jacob Alvarez

What is ASME? We are an organization on campus dedicated to expanding the student experience of mechanical engineering majors. We head projects relating to mechanical engineering, plan events for career development of members, host outreach and community service events and projects, and provide chances to network with fellow students in the major. UMBC’s chapter of ASME is part of a larger, national ASME. Joining the national organization provides major benefits such as networking opportunities, magazines about mechanical engineering, access to scholarships, internships, etc. Membership to ASME National is FREE for freshman!

Executive Board and Webmaster ASME is still looking for a capable webmaster to join our Executive Board this semester. If you are interested please or talk to one of us after the meeting. Are you interested in assuming a leadership role in ASME? If so, talk to one of us about joining the Executive Board after the meeting!
