AAPI Heritage Month

In May, ASME celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month by recognizing the contributions of AAPI individuals to US history, culture, society, and engineering.

In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, ASME is showcasing the unique perspectives and experiences of AAPI individuals in the engineering field, while highlighting the pioneering work of AAPI engineers who have broken down barriers and made significant contributions to the profession.
