Getting involved in the History and Heritage program of ASME leaves a legacy to the mechanical engineering profession.

Why mechanical engineers know history is important to understanding the value of engineering

Find out what you can do to become more involved in ASME History and Heritage Activities.

ASME's initiative for archiving its modern history will help future historians will have adequate sources readily available to them as they begin to write the next chapters in the society's history.

Creating a directory of objects and sites of mechanical engineering interest in a vicinity or within an industry is important to historians and helps identify potential landmarks.

This is a one-time registration. Once submitted, a password will be issued and, after that, you can access the directory at any time and as often as desired.

The ASME Oral-Video History Program, under the sponsorship of the History and Heritage Committee, seeks personal accounts from individuals who have contributed significantly to mechanical engineering.

Why is history important? History helps us better understand the relationship of work to our lives and other facets of society.
