Strategy Statement – Engineering Workforce Development Short Version ASME will foster a broader, competent, vibrant and more diverse engineering workforce with improved retention in both the profession and ASME over all career stages. Statement ASME will foster a broader, competent, vibrant and more diverse engineering workforce with improved retention in both the profession and ASME over all career stages. ASME will expand the capacity and effectiveness of the engineering workforce, promote the public good and increase public awareness of the value of the engineering profession. We will achieve this by outreach to pre-college students, delivering project and team-based learning, developing methods to help students bridge to early career engineers, providing leadership opportunities and training and delivering continuing professional development and training for prospective, active and retired engineers; and by leveraging our world class technical programs, intellectual property, and collaborations with other organizations. 2 ASME Strategic Plan Approved by the Board of Governors, September 15, 2009

SECD Mission/Vision/Strategic Goals Mission: Providing a voice for students and early career engineers and creating opportunities to influence ASME “path forward” Vision: To become a gateway of choice for engineering students and early career engineers, building a successful professional career in Engineering enabled by sustained engagement in ASME over all career stages Strategic Goals: Career Development: Facilitate professional development, mentoring, networking and career management to bridge the gap between engineering education and the engineering workforce Recognition & Leadership: Foster a more inclusive and diverse student engineering community by providing an opportunity for students & ECEs to get engaged through governance & leadership positions & by recognizing their contribution Student Programs: Develop innovative programs for students Innovation, Communication & Partnership: Build right partnerships with local schools and organizations to sponsor and grow new programs 3
