ANDI Test Lab is sponsoring this program. About the facility For over thirty years, the ANDI Equipment Qualification (EQ) and Test Engineering Laboratory has provided qualification services for many industrial and government programs. Their EQ services include seismic, vibration, environmental and shock testing which are fully integrated with our Test Engineering Consulting Services (TESC) for design and prototype tests. ANDI's Test Engineering Laboratory is one of the most comprehensive EQ laboratories in the U.S. As one of the few laboratories that can support tri-axial seismic shake tests and the medium weight shock requirements of the nuclear power industry and the U.S. Department of Defense, ANDI has a full line of test equipment and qualification capabilities. The ANDI Lab provides mechanical test services that include seismic, vibration, fatigue, environmental and shock testing for a number of industrial equipment applications such as telecommunication, transportation, nuclear, transmission & distribution and military equipment suppliers. Along with the standard equipment testing programs, ANDI also provides field testing and calibration services for its customer's industrial applications. Since its acquisition from Westinghouse in 1992, ANDI has significantly expanded its facilities and capabilities to provide equipment-testing services for large number of fortune 500 companies as well as other test laboratories including Underwriter Laboratories. The ANDI Lab provides equipment-testing services under a 10CFR50 Appendix B Quality Assurance Program that requires strict adherence to eighteen quality related criteria or operational guidelines. Additionally, the ANDI tour will provide a technical glimpse of its affiliate company HydroGen which is a derivative of the Westinghouse Phosphoric Acid fuel cell technology. Phosphoric Acid fuel cell technology is currently the only fuel cell technology that is close to commercialization and the Westinghouse design has a unique application that will enable it to penetrate the commercial market for renewable distributed energy. More information can be found on the facility at www.anditestlab.com.
E-Mentoring Program to Expand to Young Engineers The success of last year's program and the enthusiastic response of members wanting to become mentors has fueled the expansion of the e-Mentoring program. This program for student members is expanding to include mentoring services for engineers who have recently (5 years or less) graduated from engineering school. Young engineers can now benefit from the career advice of more seasoned engineers in their particular field of interest. Recent graduates may get even more benefit from a mentoring relationship, since they have some experience and may have more specific career questions. Last year, the new e-Mentoring program matched 100 pairs of students and mentors by May 2001. This year, 75 pairs of students and mentors were matched as of last November. How does the program work? Students and young engineers (mentees) seeking a mentor choose from a database of names, which gives information about the mentor's background, experience and engineering specialty. Mentees are then asked to fill out an online application indicating their top three choices for mentors. The mentor requests are evaluated by ASME and matched on a first come, first served basis. Only members are eligible to participate in this program as a mentor or mentee. Anyone wishing to find a mentor or to volunteer to become a mentor for a student or young engineer member should visit the website at www.asme.org/ementoring. Volunteers can choose to mentor a student, a young engineer or both. Questions about the program should be addressed to Deidra Hackley, at hackleyd@asme.org.
