Through active participation
in the T&S
Division you may broaden your
outlook and sharpen your professional skills for the benefit of the society
of which you are a part. As a member of the division you have the
opportunity to work with other engineering professionals exchanging ideas
and participating in the interaction of technology and society while
discussing the problems that arise from that interaction. You will be
challenged to understand and evaluate the effects, both desirable and
undesirable, of new technologies and the problems arising from older
technologies. You will come to understand that we as engineers are both
problem solvers and problem creators. This is not a new idea, only a
paradox becoming more and more crucial to the public perception of our
roles and responsibilities with our technological knowledge.
The bi-annual T&S
newsletter is sent, hardcopy, to ASME members
who have
designated T&S as their primary or secondary division. However, the
newsletter will be available on the website for ASME members who designate
T&S as their third, fourth, or fifth technical division. Everyone who has
designated T&S Division, whether first or fifth, is equally welcome to
participate in Division activities, including leadership positions. Email
will be primarily used to facilitate communication in the Division.
ASME
serves a worldwide membership of over 125,000 Engineers
of different backgrounds and values. Our division allows
for the exchange of all the various conceptions we individually
bring to the table. T&S is part of the Engineering
and Technology Management (E&TM) Group
within the Council on Engineering along with our sister
divisions of Management
and SERAD (Safety
Engineering & Risk Analysis).
Joining is simple! If
you presently are a member of ASME, but are not aligned
