    (GSRIC)

    "The Tradition Continues"
    Open to All ASME Graduate Students

    In today's competitive engineering job market, employers and engineering managers are looking for the technical credentials that separate one candidate from another. The District, in keeping with ASME's Mission of promoting and enhancingthe technical competency and professional well-being of our members, ASME has organized this conference as a forum for ME graduate students to develop their technical credentials and to establish their professional identity. This program is designed to enhance the ability of graduate students and young engineers to compete in an ever more demanding and changing global market place by providing and developing the skills and the demonstrated technical performance that will make them standout among their peers.

    In providing conferences such as this, the District also wants to establish a bond between ASME and the young engineer that encourages continued participation in ASME activities, increased use of ASME resources and programs, and reinforces the concept of "ASME for a Lifetime.

    You do not have to be attending a school in District E to participate. Participaton in this conference is open to all ASME Graduate Students.

     ASME Student Sections Competition

    Previously known as the Ingersoll-Rand Competition. The fundamental purpose of the competition 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 and Forms

    Previous Award Winners

    Human 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.
