The Power
Division was organized
in 1920, when ASME membership had grown to over 13,000 and
it was decided to set up several divisions to better advance
related professional activities.
The
Power Division is dedicated to the advancement of steam and
hydro power generation and use. The Division sponsors professional
publications, meetings, classes and discussions, and provides
a forum for engineers who are interested in the design development,
selection, operation, maintenance, economics, environmental
effects, research, and education related to power production
equipment and facilities.
The Power Division is one of the 38 Technical Divisions of
the ASME and one of four in the Energy Conversion Board (ECB).
The other ECB Divisions are Fuels and Combustion Technologies
(FACT), Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and Nuclear Engineering
(NED) The division activities include organizing and supporting
local and overseas conferences, presenting technical courses,
developing industry guidelines, awarding student scholarships,and
administering awards.
