The American Society of Mechanical Engineers ( ASME ) is an American professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via " continuing education , training and professional development , codes and standards , research , conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society , a standards organization , a research and development organization, an advocacy organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization . Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.
