ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers, NU Student Chapter

The Northeastern University chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers strives to bridge the gap between classroom learning and professional practice. We empower the next generation of mechanical engineers through meaningful industry connections, hands-on skill development, and a supportive community of peers. By facilitating networking events, career fairs, technical workshops, and industry presentations, we prepare our members to excel in the workplace while fostering lasting professional relationships. Our chapter is committed to creating accessible pathways to career success, promoting diversity within the field, and inspiring mechanical engineering students to reach their full potential through both professional development and engaging social experiences.

NU ASME hosts weekly ASMEetings on Mondays to teach ME students hard and soft mechanical engineering skills. Every semester, they organize a co-op mixer, career fair, and SOLIDWORKS course. NU ASME provides a platform for students to supplement their classes by extending their engineering knowledge and their skill set, as well as develop their leadership skills.

ASME helps the global engineering community develop solutions to real-world challenges. Founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME is a not-for-profit professional organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the vital role of the engineer in society. ASME codes and standards, publications, conferences, continuing education, and professional development programs provide a foundation for advancing technical knowledge and a safer world.
