Reasons For Industry
Standards Infusion
ASME Vision 2030 Advocacy and Strategy
1. Richer practice-based experience needs to include the infusion of
industry codes and standards
2. Stronger professional skills
3. More flexible curricula
4. Greater innovation and creativity
5. Technical depth specialization at graduate level
6. New balance of faculty industry practice skills
Additional Reasons to Include Industry Standards in Education
1. Industry managers, early career engineers, & educators agree on need;
Students are seeking standards knowledge as part of their education
2. Recent ASME work in ABET accreditation (ME/MET) has resulted in
new industry standards education requirements
3. Opportunity for knowledge transfer to address aging workforce

 Initial Standards Modules to Infuse in
Undergraduate Engineering Courses
Engineering Module from ASME
Year Design Track Method
Course Standard

Freshman Hands-on activity; Introduction to Introduction to Codes, Adapt material from

take mechanical Engineering Standards, and Regulations existing ASME
component apart & Assessment Based
review against Code Course
(e.g., hand tool,
small valve)(*)
Sophomore Manufacturing (*) ASME B31.1 / B31.3 Piping Build module from
Mechanics of Codes or ASME Boiler & existing ASME courses
Pressure Vessel Code and existing university
Materials
applicable to many industries courses
2
Junior Machine Design (*) Fluid Mechanics / ASME OM Part 28 System Adapt material from
Heat Transfer Performance and MFC Stds / existing Pitt course and
(TBD) Heat Transfer (TBD) MFC Fluid Flow Stds
3
Senior Senior Capstone Design Project (*)Range of ASME standards Define and use Case
(1-2 Semesters) through the four years – e.g., Studies working with
B107 Hand Tools, B16 Valves, industry support and
Y14.5 Manufacturing, B31.1/3 possible partners
Piping, ASME BPVC I/III/VIII

 What’s next?
Continue to develop overall plan that effectively utilizes appropriate
resources of ASME and relevant partners in terms of content, subject
matter experts (volunteer and staff), and delivery mechanisms to
reach and impact as many students as practical worldwide

Initial faculty and S&C volunteer teams being formed to develop the
first standards modules primarily over the summer semester

Interface with NIST established to seek and obtain external funding to

complement ASME support (Estimate $40K-$50K for faculty travel and
two-week stipends)

7 Setting the Standard for Workforce Development
 Potential Long Term Goal and
Schedule
Potential Goal
Incorporate industry standards to reach 150,000 ME/MET students
in the U.S. plus students in 20 other countries

Schedule
To test the use of the standards education material –
– Form Pilot Users Group
– Scale to at least 50 schools (prior to full dissemination)
– Two year period
