The American Society of Mechanical Engineers is an organization dedicated to the promotion of professional interest among both student and graduate mechanical engineers. The student chapter provides its members with the opportunity to meet and share common interests with their fellow students and the faculty. General meetings feature speakers from industry and are supplemented throughout the year by field trips, a regional convention, and various technical paper competitions. ASME also operates Engineering Theatre, a weekly presentation open to all Tech students, where movies pertaining to general enginering subjects are shown. AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS 23

The purpose of the student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers is to provide students with those professional contacts which will be invaluable to their engineering careers. Through this organization, the student becomes aware of the relationship between his formal studies and his future work. To this end, the program of the ASCE includes at least two meetings each month where guest speakers and films are presented. In order to supplement the program socially, the chapter also has smokers throughout the year as well as a banquet in the spring. AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS 22

AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Carnegie Tech’s Student Affiliate Chapter of the American Chemical Society, whose members are undergraduate chemists and chemical engineers, provides extracurricular intellectual activity in the field of chemistry and a time of fellowship for students and faculty. To attain these goals, there are two meetings each semester which feature talks and demonstrations of scientific topics of general interest and a period of camaraderie afterward. The social calendar is topped off by a picnic or banquet. Senior members often present papers at regional and national meetings describing their work at Tech. 24
