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.
