About

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is an global professional organization for mechanical engineers that provides benefits for students at a national level. We are UNM’s chapter of ASME, meaning we are a student run section of ASME that provides local benefits for students.

Our Mission:

Our goal is to provide our members with as much value as possible to set them up for success in and outside of academia. If there is anything more we can do to help you move forward as an engineer, then please let us know and we will do our best to make it happen.

Membership Benefits:

Local Benefits:

• We make an effort to host fun, instructive, and worthwhile events every semester. We host networking events that provide you opportunities to meet other engineers, work for local and national businesses, and match you with researchers for successful internship opportunities. We host events at least once per month, usually on Friday evenings.
• As an engineer, wouldn't you like to learn the skills of the trade by gettinghands-on experience working on engineering projects? Then you should join our National Competition Team! At the beginning of every semester, we meet as a group and vote on the competition(s) we should focus our attention on.
• Join an interactive community of your peers at UNM who are also focused on growth and success in their careers.
• Your one-stop-shop to stay up to date on mechanical engineering scholarships, opportunities, and skill workshops.

National Benefits:

• Get access to valuable information and resources such as Mechanical Engineering magazine, newsletters, the AccessEngineering online reference tool, and discounts on courses, technical journals, publications, conferences, and more.
• Find new mechanical engineering-focused job opportunities, articles, and webinars on key topics through the ASME Career Center.
• The ASME Mentoring Program also provides an opportunity to build a relationship with an experienced engineering professional, from whom you can learn and grow.
• ASME Student Design Competitions test your engineering expertise in a variety of fields while having fun. Compete against other students, learn important teamwork, leadership and presentation skills, and add crucial extracurricular involvement to your resume.
• ASME helps student members subsidize their education. Scholarships are offered to domestic and international undergraduate and graduate students. Loans of up to $10,000 are also offered to junior, senior, or graduate students.
