Engineers rely on industry standards for safety, which require extensive development time. However, the rapid pace of emerging technologies poses challenges for timely standardization, as reaching consensus on new standards becomes difficult in a fast-changing environment, according to Shawn Moylan from NIST.

As emerging technologies like AI and robotics capture attention, foundational engineering principles remain crucial. Essential for innovation, these include material science and control theory. ASME’s Y14.5 Standard on geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is key for advanced manufacturing.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has announced several promotions on its leadership team.

Chris Cantrell, senior managing director of standards and engineering services at ASME, explains how standards can help companies advance, innovate, and access a broader market base.

2024 ASME ISHOW USA finalists provide innovative solutions to address building, energy, healthcare, water, and waste challenges.

Susan Ipri-Brown has begun her term as the 143rd president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Society announced during its annual meeting June 4.

This article discusses the connection between surface finish and factors like friction, wear, and fatigue life. It explores how precise surface finish measurements improve product reliability and analyzes the evolving measurement technologies.

The engineering work landscape is rapidly evolving with technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and additive manufacturing. Many engineers lack practical skills, and the industry faces a significant skills gap. Read how addressing this gap is crucial for engineering learning and development.

Measurement and inspection standards are traditionally updated on a regular schedule. However, the form measurement standard for out of roundness, B89.3.1, has not been updated since its initial release in 1972, and is no longer an active standard available through ANSI.

There’s no question about this column. I accept the blame for what appears in this monthly effort for better or worse. This column is all about the standards I often refer to in my rants. I frequently encounter folks who question the information these standards contain and sometimes the question is valid but there are ways to challenge or change technical details within them.
