Membership in ASME offers access to a wide range of professional benefits that keep members technically up-to-date and professionally competitive. You can benefit by:

• Maintaining technical relevancy through networking and technical fellowship with inventors, entrepreneurs and colleagues that you will get to know at ASME meetings. You will learn not only about technology, but career, political and social matters as well. Such knowledge makes you more marketable and benefits both your employer and your profession.
• Gaining insight into the perspectives of corporate managers, suppliers, consultants, product manufacturers, and other professionals through the technical conferences and workshops offered by ASME's 38 divisions.
• Getting involved as a government liaison in the presentation of nonpartisan analyses or formally commenting on proposed government actions that concern engineers.
• Enhancing your career options with ASME Employment Assistance Package, which includes a listing of job opportunities and a resume database.
• Participating at a discounted rate in ASME conferences and expositions that offer frontline access to technology transfer.
• Subscribing to any of ASME's 20 technical journals. Special member rates are also available on conference symposia and ASME Press books.
• Accessing one of the largest and most comprehensive technical publishing programs, which includes peer-reviewed papers, technical briefs, review articles and other research.
• Learning about peer projects, government actions that impact engineers, ASME-related activities and benefits with a free subscription to ASME NEWS, a four-color monthly newspaper.
• Exploring state-of the-art technology and career trends monthly in the pages of Mechanical Engineering magazine.
• Surfing ASMENET, the World Wide Web site that opens the door to valuable resource exchanges, technology transfer and a consolidated base of up-to-date member services.
• Advancing your professional skills and marketability through education and professional-development courses, which encompass continuing education and professional competency, regional leadership and management training.
• Getting a head start on financial planning through the ASME Personal Financial Passport program and ASME's life insurance programs.
