The Latest ASME Skill-Building Learning Solutions
Mechanical engineering is an industry built on creativity and innovation. As Theodore von Karman put it, “Scientists study the world as it is, engineers create the world that never has been.”
The world’s most renowned mechanical engineers have always engaged in continuous learning—not to impress employers with PDHs and CEUs, but rather to improve the human condition through invention.
Today, learning and mechanical engineering continue to go hand in hand. As the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the whirlwind of changes initiated by the fourth industrial revolution, the industry seemed to leap lightyears forward. Lifelong learning is now a must for engineers to adapt to the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
Most high-demand skills are related to industry-transforming technology:
- Additive Manufacturing
- Automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Digital Twin technology
- Green Engineering
- Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
Fortunately, training methods for engineers have evolved alongside the field. Whether you’re an early, mid, or late-career engineer, there’s a skill-building solution suited for your individual learning style and schedule.
