Your
Career, Your Society, Your Division
By joining ASME, you can share in the prestige
and the practical benefits conferred by society membership.
In addition to maintaining an 80-year record of technical
excellence, the ASME Rail Transportation Division
looks after the professional development and well being
of its members. Over 2,500 of ASME’s members specify
an interest in rail transportation and nearly 900 indicate
railroading as their primary area of interest. If
you’re interested in railroad engineering, the RTD
can help you :
- Broaden your knowledge and keep up with the latest
technical developments in railroading, rail transit, and
railroad equipment.
- Meet and exchange ideas with other engineers who
share your interests.
- Increase your professional stature and demonstrate
your competence through the preparation and presentation
of technical papers.
- Obtain access to the technical papers written by
others, both in railroad mechanical engineering and other
mechanical engineering fields.
- Exercise leadership and sharpen your managerial skills
through participation in Division administration and technical
committee work.
As an RTD member, you automatically
receive the division
newsletter. You will also be included in all
mailings to members who have an interest in rail transportation
issues (e.g., "Call for Papers," specific conference
announcements, etc.).
So put them all together...
