The American Society of Mechanical Engineers promotes the art, science & practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe.

AUTOMOTIVE

Car Crazy Engineers

Vintage cars from the early-to-mid twentieth century hold special fascination for engineers, reflecting the perfect balance of beautiful design, mechanical performance, and practical utility.

ROBOTICS

Robotic Brooms

With the ultimate goal to design autonomous robots capable of navigating cloudy underwater environments, researchers around the globe have begun engineering resilient robots for mine sweeping and other risky underwater missions.

ENGINEERING HISTORY

Engineering Then and Now

Living in an age of robotic armor and autonomous farm tractors, it is easy to think that we live in the most technologically advanced age in human history. However, it wasn’t always so.
