Message from the Chair August 2014 Fellow Tallahassee Section Members, ASME’s Fiscal Year 2014/2015 kicked off on July 1. July and August are typically slow months for Section activity. We expect to resume events later in September. ASME reorganization – I have no information to share at this time, but ASME will be doing training later this year. Would you like to become involved in Tallahassee Section’s Executive Leadership? Do you have something you would like to present to section members? Please contact me at [email protected] or (850) 414-4343. Tallahassee Section Sponsors – Please note the sponsors at the end of this newsletter. If you would like to become one, $50 will get you a spot from now until June
30, 2015. Please mail a check payable to ASME Tallahassee Section to:

ASME Event Addresses the Question ‘What Really Matters in STEM Education?’
(Left to right) Moderator John Hockenberry, host of National Public Radio's The Takeaway, poses a question to panelists ASME President Madiha El Mehelmy Kotb and Kenneth Williams, a public school teacher at Oxon Hill Middle School in Prince George's County, Md.
In middle school, boys and girls turn into teenagers, develop many long-lasting attitudes, and either embrace or turn away from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). That makes middle school a critical time for STEM educators. They believe that well-taught STEM courses teach students to solve problems logically as well as by learning from their mistakes. Yet teachers often disagree on approaches and priorities. Their challenges, triumphs, and contradictions were all on display at the live taping of “Critical Thinking, Critical Choices: What Really Matters in STEM,” a far-ranging discussion that featured 12 leaders in STEM education. The event, which was sponsored by the ASME Foundation, kicked off the U.S. News STEM Solutions Conference in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, April 23. “What Really Matters in STEM” is part of the ASME Decision Point Dialogues thought leadership program, where leaders debate the complexities underlying an issue by focusing on the decisions people must make in real life. The event will be broadcast on the ASME website in five weekly installments. https://www.asme.org/about-asme/news/asme-news/event-addresses-question-really-matters-stem

Display Your ASME Pride with a Framed Membership Certificate Let others know you are a member of the most respected professional mechanical engineering organization in the world by displaying a handsome, framed ASME membership certificate in your office or home. Membership certificates are now available in three styles: 1) encased in an elegant, contemporary beveled-edge glass frame; 2) mounted under Lucite on a classic walnut-colored hardwood plaque; or 3) as a basic, ready-to-frame certificate in a certificate holder. Visit http://go.asme.org/MembershipCertificate to order your certificate now.
The new and improved ASME Job Board + Career Center (http://jobboard.asme.org) was designed to serve as an even more robust and interactive resource for connecting engineering professionals and students with the employers who are searching for them. ASME's goal is to provide a one-stop shop for engineering professionals and engineering students to research and apply for great new career opportunities, as well as get advice to improve the jobs they have. https://www.asme.org/about-asme/news/asme-news/introduces-new-job-board-career-center
