ASME Today & Tomorrow

In order to earn the title “Professional Engineer” and with it the right to append the initials “P.E.” after one’s name, an engineer must demonstrate success in three areas, known as “the three E’s”: Education, Experience and Examination. In this episode of ASME Today & Tomorrow, Tom Costabile sat down with Dave Soukup -- who is ASME’s Managing Director of Governance, a P.E. himself, and an ASME Fellow to boot -- to learn more about the significance of that “P.E.” title and why professional licensure can make such an important difference in a mechanical engineering career.

For this episode of ASME Today & Tomorrow, Tom sat down with Debbie Holton, ASME’s Managing Director of Industry Events, to learn more about what she’s working on. Debbie joined the ASME team in November of 2018 and brings a tremendous wealth of expertise and experience to the work and the team she now leads. Beyond her exceptional expertise, Ms. Holton is also one of the most natural and enthusiastic “people-people” we know, as you’ll soon hear for yourself.

In this episode, Tom sits down with Kathleen Lobb, ASME’s Managing Director of Philanthropy and Executive Director of the ASME Foundation, and Anand Sethupathy, ASME’s Managing Director of Programs, for a wide-ranging discussion of ASME’s current Programs & Philanthropy efforts – a big part of what ASME is doing today to fulfill its historic mission “to advance engineering for the benefit of humanity.”
