November 17, 2009: "Jefferson Lab Tour": Presented by: ASME and Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Please join the Eastern VA ASME Section on November 17, 2009 at 5:30 pm for an evening tour of Jefferson Lab, a U.S. Department of Energy research facility, located in the heart of Hampton Roads. This is open to all ASME members free of charge. One guest may accompany each ASME member. However, attendance is limited so register early. After reception and refreshments, the group will take a guided tour of Jefferson Lab, a nuclear physics research facility used by 1,200 U.S. and international scientists. You will visit one of Jefferson Lab’s three internationally renowned experimental halls, its SRF Test Facility, and its world-record-holding Free-Electron Laser. Both machines run under technologies that Jefferson Lab is a world leader in: superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) and cryogenics. The ASME meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. in Jefferson Lab’s CEBAF Center (Bldg 12), located at 12000 Jefferson Ave. in Newport News, Va. Enter at Onnes Drive; turn left onto SURA Road.

March 14, 2009: "2009 ASME/AIAA Egg Drop Design Competition": Presented by: ASME/AIAA/Nauticus Join the fun at the 2009 ASME/AIAA Egg Drop Design Competition! Designed to promote engineering and science for students, this competition is open to all ages. Participants are asked to build a device to protect an egg from a second story (approximately 20 feet high) and third story (approximately 40 feet high) drop to keep it from going splat! The lightest device that comes closest to the target while protecting the egg wins! Eggs will be supplied at the contest. Participation is FREE and prizes will be awarded for winners in each age group! 2009 ASME/AIAA Egg Drop Design Announcement Egg Drop Design Competition Rules |
