ASME Tour Rohm Haas 04-18-07

In collaboration with the professional chapter of ASME, we are sponsoring a tour of the Lincoln Financial Field on March 14th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The Eagles had a great season and next year should be even better. This will be a behind the scenes tour of Lincoln Financial Field. Attendance is limited to 25 people, so email ASME as soon as possible. Spots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis and transportation will need to be arranged.

Every spring, a group of Mechanical Engineering students assist the students of Brader Elementary School with building and launching model rockets in the Launching a Dream program. The elementary students are exposed to the engineering profession as well as space exploration. Today's event was a great success with many successful rocket launches. For some pictures follow this link.

Thank you for all of those who attended our events during Eweek. We had a great time and won the golden calculator! Eweek may be over but we have a lot of events coming up in the next few weeks. The date and detailed description of each follows below. For any events that you are interested in, please respond quickly. We hope to see as many people as possible at all of these events!

What a success! Thank you for all of the teams that showed up for the first dodgeball competition to be held during Eweek. The turnout was amazing and was better than we possibly could have imagined. Congratulations to The Botanical Mechanicals for their hard fought win over The Cheg Stands. We have posted some pictures of the competition for everyone to see. With such a high turnout ASME is considering a monthly or bi-weekly competition. Again, thank you all for coming and ice those injuries!

There will be many fun activities this coming Eweek and we would like to highlight the ones that ASME has personally organized.  For a complete list of Eweek events as well as the way to win the "Golden Calculator", go to the official Eweek website.  We hope that mechanical engineers will have a strong showing at all of the events planned for this year.
