ASME's Communities of Practice is an online interaction tool designed with mechanical engineer's needs in mind: links to helpful resources, industry news and, more importantly, solutions and ideas from peers. It's much more than discussion boards, because there are many tools integrated into this site to help Communities of Practice members connect with each other. Access to the Communities of Practice site is open to both members and non-members of ASME.
