Atlas of Stress-Strain Curves edited by H. W. Boyer, ASM International, Metals Park Ohio, 1987. Given that our mission is dominated by the quest to understand mechanical properties, this book gives a sense of the variety of data to be encountered on the most immediate of mechanical tests. Indeed, to understand the subtlety of real stress-strain curves should be seen as one of our primary goals. 

The ASME s ongoing Vision 2030 Creating the Future of Mechanical Engineering Education (V2030) program, operating under the auspices of the ASME Board on Education, has four primary goals ... 

This section presents some example calculations and results from licensing criteria and ASME Code guidelines that have been developed using risk-based safety goals and probabilistic fracture mechanics computational... 

In contrast to the ASME s existing ethical codes, the Goals put the rhetoric of public obligation before those of corporate and member interests. While the Goals echoed well-tread formulations of professionalism, its prose borrowed heavily from Paschkis T S Committee, making reference to deleterious second order effects of technology, mass layoffs, and technological imperialism. ... 

Goal 2. To develop procedures for establishing an ASME position on public issues to which engineering views are relevant, and for the expression of such views by duly authorized spokesmen. 

Goal 4. To develop in ASME a responsiveness to and concern for the economic and professional needs of its members, in addition to its customary concern for their technical needs. 

Goal 7. To encourage membership and participation in ASME of all those engaged in mechanical engineering. 

Goal 8. To extend the scope and to increase the timeliness, pertinence, and effectiveness of all ASME communications media to engage the interest of, and fully inform, all elements of the Society. 

Goal 12. To direct ASME efforts in all possible ways toward a unification of the engineering profession, increasing its strength throughout the entire continuum from the campus onward, thus making it a more effective force in relations with the public, the government, and industry.

But the tangible impact of the Goals and the T S Division was not what its advocates had hoped. The working parties assigned to study social responsibilities did not result in ethical protection in traditional conflicts of interest, much less in new socio-technical realms. Moreover, despite its effort to engage all ASME engineers, less than a tenth voted on the Goals.
