ASME Today & Tomorrow American Society of Mechanical Engineers

In order to earn the title “Professional Engineer” and with it the right to append the initials “P.E.” after one’s name, an engineer must demonstrate success in three areas, known as “the three E’s”: Education, Experience and Examination. In this episode of ASME Today & Tomorrow, Tom Costabile sat down with Dave Soukup -- who is ASME’s Managing Director of Governance, a P.E. himself, and an ASME Fellow to boot -- to learn more about the significance of that “P.E.” title and why professional licensure can make such an important difference in a mechanical engineering career.

For this episode of ASME Today & Tomorrow, Tom sat down with Debbie Holton, ASME’s Managing Director of Industry Events, to learn more about what she’s working on. Debbie joined the ASME team in November of 2018 and brings a tremendous wealth of expertise and experience to the work and the team she now leads. Beyond her exceptional expertise, Ms. Holton is also one of the most natural and enthusiastic “people-people” we know, as you’ll soon hear for yourself.

In this episode, Tom sits down with Kathleen Lobb, ASME’s Managing Director of Philanthropy and Executive Director of the ASME Foundation, and Anand Sethupathy, ASME’s Managing Director of Programs, for a wide-ranging discussion of ASME’s current Programs & Philanthropy efforts – a big part of what ASME is doing today to fulfill its historic mission “to advance engineering for the benefit of humanity.”

In this special, extended edition of ASME Today and Tomorrow, CEO/Executive Director Tom Costabile is joined by ASME’s entire Executive Management Team to discuss the myriad ways that ASME is adapting and responding to the unique challenges posed by the Covid-19 global pandemic.

In this edition of our podcast mini-series Innovators in Clean Energy, ASME Fellow Bob Stakenborghs talks with Cody Biedermann, August Erhart and Micah Ulrich of Flux Hybrids, an innovative startup devoted to using hybrid electric conversion kits to reduce the environmental impact and financial costs associated with automobiles.

In this next episode of the ASME Today & Tomorrow mini-series Innovators in Clean Energy, guest co-host and ASME Fellow Bob Stakenborghs talks with Larry Fromm, Executive VP and Chief Commercial Officer of Achates Power, a company that has re-discovered and optimized a way to build internal combustion engines that are more powerful and efficient than ever.
