Student
Professional Development Conference (SPDC) |
Purpose: Provide
a forum to train officers and future leaders. Create
networking opportunities. Host
student competitions. Supply
a forum for technology transfer for undergraduate and graduate students. Introduce
students to the real ASME (beyond pizza parties and contests to include technical
divisions and community relations) and what ASME can do for your career.

WHO
Should Attend?
All
ASME Student Section Officers and Committee Chairs All
ASME Student Section Advisors Any
ASME Student Member who would like more information on what to expect from their
student section or is considering becoming a part of the Student Section Leadership
Team in the future.
What
You Gain:
Knowledge of ASME's organization and structure so that you can understand the
role student sections play in fostering professionalism. Tools
and resources that can enhance your efficiency as a student section leader. Leadership
and management skills that will better enable you to run your student section
and will also carry over as you enter the workplace. A
better understanding of ASME's member benefits that focuses on how you can leverage
these benefits to aid your career development and also promote membership to other
students. An
opportunity to meet and network with students from other universities and with
ASME district leadership.
A fun and enjoyable experience that is also educational.

Student Sections Competition | This
contest is jointly sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International
(ASME) and the Ingersoll-Rand Corporation. The
fundamental purpose of the Ingersoll-Rand Contest is to encourage engineering
students to be total professionals by participating in technical events that expand
on their academic pursuits, by building character toward good citizenship, and
by learning more about real world engineering. It recognizes those student sections
that show outstanding achievement in the manner by which they conduct their affairs.
A comprehensive set of variables is considered when evaluating student section
effectiveness. Each variable is weighted, and the strength of a section is determined
by the total number of points accumulated. A good section is one that exhibits
a wide diversity of activities. Rules

Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPV) | Human
Powered Vehicles are aerodynamic, highly engineered vehicles that may be for use
on land, in the water or the air. Some land-based HPV's have achieved speeds of
over 60 mph. ASME sponsors the Human Powered Vehicle Competition in hopes of finding
a design that can be used for everyday activities ranging from commuting to and
from work to going to the grocery store. Senior engineering students can use this
competition for their capstone project and with their efforts design and construct
a fast, sleek, and safe vehicle capable of road use. The
point of the competition is the elegance and ingenuity of the design, including
presentation, practicality and safety. All areas of engineering problem-solving
are addressed - it's not as simple as it appears to design and build these vehicles.
And the competition itself is great fun for the team.
