In 1880 ASME’s founders met to focus on the dawning of the industrial age. There were many who felt that there was an opportunity to better serve the needs of engineers and the designers and managers of the machine shops by providing them with a forum for discussion and collaboration. Engineering standards, the founders agreed, would ensure safety, reliability and operational efficiency in machine design and mechanical production. ASME President, Susan Ipri-Brown, will provide insights into the pivotal role of Codes and Standards and Engineering Ethics in navigating today’s complex challenges. Come to this session to understand how ethical practices are essential for success and integrity in the engineering profession.
