MISSION

• Promote the art, science and practice of mechanical engineering in the field of engineering and technology management
• Encourage, promote and coordinate the activities of the Engineering & Technology Management Group’s technical divisions with respect to publications and technical meetings; foster their activities dealing with member interests, membership development and long range planning; encourage participation in national and international conferences and liaison with other divisions, sections, regions and operating boards; conduct all of the above activities within the policies and goals of ASME.
• Represent and present the interests of the Divisions of the Engineering & Technology Management Technical Group to the Council of Engineering of the Society appropriate to the needs and concerns of the Group’s Divisions and the needs of the Council.

GOALS

• Broaden the percent participation across all sectors of its huge and diverse constituency.
• Shape activities towards service to the younger engineers, their companies and to our burgeoning international sector through and with the other Councils and their respective responsibilities.
• Grow our three Divisions’ Inter-group efforts to service and cooperate with other Technical Groups/Divisions (e.g., Design, Petroleum, Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering, Solar, etc.) and the relevant technical societies.
• Reestablish the Group’s strong Professional Development offerings.
