STUDENT SECTIONS
ASME Student Sections
There are currently over 600 ASME student sections. ASME Student Sections are chartered at mechanical engineering colleges and universities around the world with the following purposes: to promote the goals of ASME; to provide a window to the engineering profession; complement the curriculum of the educational institution; to offer support in formal studies and informal education and learning, to provide personal connections and communications within the Society and the profession; to provide outreach and service to society in general through participation in community activities Student Sections are encouraged to organize and provide a variety of activities focused on technical content and professional and personal growth such as: technical presentations; Communication skills development activities; professional introductions and relationships; joint activities with other ASME sectors and with similar units at the college or university; engineering and technical competitions; awards and recognitions; engineering-related volunteer and community services; outreach to potential engineering students encouragement of continued membership in ASME and in peer engineering and professional societies.

Starting a New ASME Student Section

The procedure for starting an ASME student section is: 1. Have 15 students complete and submit the ASME student membership form. 2. Have 15 students sign the "new student section" petition (APPENDIX A). 3. Select or recruit a professor, who's an ASME member, to become the student section adviser, and have him or her sign the new student section petition. 4. Once the forms are signed, scan them into one PDF file. 5. Collect documentation of your university's engineering curriculum and history. 6. Send the petition, applications, and information about your university's curriculum and history to students@[Link]. Or by mail: ASME Student Section Administration MS22-S3 Three Park Ave. New York, NY 10016 The petition is also available online at [Link]

ASME Student Section Handbook

Revised July 2012

Following the submission of the Petition: 1. The student section petition will be reviewed at the Society level. The Student Petition approval process will take four to six weeks. 2. The Student Section Chair and Student Section Advisor will be notified when the student section is approved, and will receive a welcome packet, including a certificate stating the establishment of a student section. 3. ASMEs Membership Department will arrange for ASME badges, magazines and brochures to be sent to all students registered in the new section. 4. Shipments from ASME are sent via DHL, and may require several weeks to arrive. 5. ASME also provides start-up funds to new student sections.

Student Section Leadership

Student Section Advisor
The vitality of a student section is heavily influenced by the Student Section Advisor (SSA), who performs a generous and valuable service to the students, the department, and to ASME. . We encourage all Student Section Advisors to be members of ASME; however, this is not mandatory. The Student Section Advisor has a four-fold responsibility: 1. To engage mechanical engineering/engineering technology students to become involved in their ASME student section activities 2. To ascertain that the activities and programs of the Student Section stimulate interest in the profession; 3. To facilitate a professional awareness in each student member that is maintained throughout their career and to play an active role as as an ASME member. 4. Provide continuity and guidance to the Student Section. Carrying out these responsibilities involves two primary areas of activity: engaging students and ensuring that essential student section administration is conducted. Some examples of these activities are summarized below. Explain the Benefits of ASME Membership A description and list of specific ASME student member benefits is available online at [Link] Make students aware of the ASME Scholarships and educational financing through Loans Make students aware of student activities and training offered by ASME as explained in this handbook. Enable Student Leadership to Succeed Recruit student section officers (or guide the election process), and encourage the timing of the selection to provide an overlap of outgoing and incoming officers. Develop School Year meeting schedule with Student Section Officers. Maintain records of past years activities to provide to incoming officers Conduct a leadership transition with outgoing and incoming student officers. Encourage at least 2 student section officers to attend the Student Leadership Seminar. Recognize Outstanding Contributions through Honors and Awards

Student Section Executive Committee (Student Officers)

Student Sections are typically led by an Executive Committee with a Chair and customary officers such as Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, with additional officers and committee-heads as may be appropriate. Its size will vary with the size of the Section. In smaller Sections, one-person committees may be necessary and/or one person may function on two or more committees.

Duties of Officers
Chair o Responsible for the organization and successful operation of the Student Section. o Consult with outgoing Student Officers; meet regularly with the Student Section Advisor. o Designate committees and appointing members to each. If possible, every member of the Student Section should have an opportunity to serve on a committee, or help with the organization or planning of an event. Vice Chair o Carry on Section business in the absence of the Chair or take over an incomplete term o Administrative or coordinating activities or special assignments, for example hosting or organizing a delegation for the Student Professional Development Conference. o The Vice Chair may also serve as Chair of one or more Committees, such as the Meetings/Programs and/or Membership/Recruitment Committees. Secretary o Maintain records of the Student Section and ensure that membership information is accurate and thorough. This includes change of address notations, records and reports, as well as the transmittal of this material to the ASME Headquarters. o Keep Minutes, results of all Elections, and copies of required reports that have been submitted. Treasurer o Maintain the financial records of the Student Section and ensure that all accounts and records are maintained in accordance with school policies and that authorized bills are submitted and paid in a timely manner. o Complete Financial Report and Student Section Merit Based Funding Form.

Student Section Programming

Ideas for Good Student Section Meetings
Class schedules, sports, other campus clubs and functions, fraternity and sorority meetings, homework, TV and parties -- all these make it challenging to get members out for ASME meetings. What is the best way to market a meeting and/or recruit new members? Social networking such as Facebook. Email blasts over a week out and another a couple days before. Teams dedicated to sending reminders and following-up with people. Telephone contact - people can become overwhelmed with email; personal contact can go a long way. How can we get the most people at meetings? Good marketing Carpool - if meeting is off campus. Food free pizza works great. Recognition at meetings o Person of the Hour Honor the Person of the Hour who could be a visiting faculty member, a new section member, a visitor, the person traveling the greatest distance, former chair or officer, or a recent Student Section Advisor. Many ways to identify Person of the Hour. Vary the criteria for each meeting. Do not honor the same person twice in the same year. o Formal Recognition of Visitors Have sign-in. Read at least the name of each visitor and have each guest rise. Need not be time consuming. Can do much to make visitors feel welcome. Follow-up contacts or emails after the meeting are a nice touch.
ASME Student Section Handbook August 2012 Update 11

Door Prizes o Arrange to give each arriving person a number - allow for duplicate tickets to be purchased. After the meeting begins, have a drawing. The lucky person gets a gift which can be a CD, thumb drive, gift certificate, etc. Set up a prize committee which has the responsibility to supply gifts from their resources. This activity can be real fun. Faculty support o Invite department heads and deans to speak at student activities or meetings. o Request necessary resources from the department to help students complete their ASME commitments (e.g. ASME office, computers, printers, mailing services, etc.) o Stress the benefits of an ASME student section to the ME Department: Presentations on the benefits of an ASME student section to an ME department (created by Walter O'Brien, former Chair, Mechanical Engineering, Virginia Tech) are available online at [Link] (PPT show) and [Link] (PDF with photos). Greeting Committee - Friendly welcome as people enter the room. Assist with name tags. Address members by name as they arrive. Introduce newcomers. Make everyone feel wanted from the first moment. Two to six people in Door Welcome group depending on the section size. Different Door Welcome group each meeting. Have others circulate before the meeting is called to order, to ensure that nobody is neglected. A friendly welcome for all at meetings - and outreach between meetings. Tabling o Several tables which can be used to showcase areas of interest. How about a table of section awards and event pictures? One for active members or graduates? Maybe one for those who just joined? Name cards are fine if advance arrangements have been made. A few personal contacts the week before the meeting always pay off. Good way to boost attendance. Format could change each month and this does not have to be undertaken each month. What are some good meeting ideas? Industry Dinner o Invite members from local industries to a fundraising dinner for your student section, and ask a representative from each to speak briefly. o Thank them for any support they have provided (sponsorship of events, providing speakers, judges for local competitions, etc.). o Ask them for help. 14 Minute State of the Art Talk o This requires advance preparation. Have someone carefully prepare a 14 minute talk condensing the state of knowledge of a subject. This is to be an overview. Have reference material for those who would like to pursue the subject in more detail. Four Minute Personal History o Ask a student or faculty member to present the story of his/her life in four minutes. This is often one of the most interesting features of the evening. We all like to hear about each other. Their stories can be very interesting. Lunch and Learn technical or career development topic o Best for small audiences. Invite a speaker who has presented an interesting paper at a technical conference or meeting to present the paper to a small audience of students. This could also be done as a formal lecture for a small group, or as a joint event with the local senior section or other engineering organizations. New engineering developments. Physicist - What is space travel all about? Astronaut - What it is really like in space? How to write a resume.
ASME Student Section Handbook August 2012 Update 12

How to interview for a job. Q&A with faculty - What to expect from your classes or other topics. Lawyer - How new laws affect liability as an engineer/patent law. Accountant/ Financial Planner - You and your income tax/financial planning. Doctor/Health Care Practitioner - How to stay healthy. Realtor - How to pick and finance a house. Joint events with other societies. Social activities such as parties, sporting events, dinners, picnics, dances, community projects, a design competition for student members or for pre-college students, and movie showing. Study Groups o Allow two full hours before or after the meeting. Advance planning desired. Format flexible. Reunions o Opportunity for alumni members, faculty, those from a particular area or others sharing a common interest to meet for an hour or so after the regular meeting. Keeping alumni involved can provide attendees for events, good presenters, and a potential source of income for your section. Committee Meetings o Could be held before or after regular meetings, or during social hours.

To send an email to your Section: If you have been granted the Email Function, click on "Sending an E-mail Message to Your Unit" from the "Tools & Services" option in the left hand column. The ASME List Server program will appear and you would use your email address on file with ASME and your membership.

Global Communities Directory

This directory is helpful if you want to look up the names and contact information for Executive Committee members in the student sections near yours, or in the local section(s) nearest you, for example to invite them all to attend a student section event you are planning, or request help or resources. 1. On-Line Directory of District, Section, and Student Section Officers 2. Access through Members Only link on [Link]. or at [Link] (scroll down; its on the left) 3. To access the directory you will need the email address on file with ASME. 4. Select District to open a roster for the District Operating Board 5. Click + sign for each District to reach a list of all sections within a District 6. Click + sign for each Section to reach a list of student sections in its area 7. Select Section Name to open an Executive Committee roster (or last years chair) 8. The GC directory is searchable. Here are some tips for using the search function: 1. Search by Name or Company or Section: Will retrieve information regarding individuals or individuals in those locations. You do not have to put in the complete name. However, the more information you do enter, the shorter the list will be. 2. Search Sections: This will retrieve section officer information. Again, you do not have to enter the complete section name, partial name works. For example if you enter "ark" you get all units that have those letters grouped together --- Arkansas, Westpark, Parkside, etc. This is a useful way of navigating when looking for officer information, and is a lot quicker especially if you do not know which district and section a school is in.

Other Communications Tools

1. Online Directories: o AC-10 Board of Governors (BOG), Sectors and Committees contact information for ASMEs senior leadership o Access from Members Only Page - [Link] (you need your email address on your ASME record for access to Members Only)
