Have you checked out the ASME Communities of Practice website? We call it COP for short. Goto: cop.asme.org. You will find communities and discussion threads in topics ranging from ethanol and the internal combustion engine to entrepreneurship…from the ASME Human Powered Vehicle Challenge to the Latin American and Caribbean Student Operating Board. Or what about the International System of Units, or Product Testing and Reliability. And don’t forget several of our Affinity Groups include Women in Engineering, International Students and Young Engineers, the Student Section Committee, and the Young Engineer Correspondents. If you checked it out once a few years ago you might be surprised by what you find. Today there are 173 Public COP’s and a bunch more private ones. Have an area of practice not covered in the current list. Well you can start one too.
I heard a rumor the other day that an upgrade referred to as COP 2.0 is coming. Don’t tell anyone I told you.
