This week, the Society publicly launched an enhanced website that offers a revamped home page, updated site navigation, and a number of eye-catching and engrossing new community features that allow users to register with the website, create personal profiles, connect with engineers with similar interests, and join and follow various ASME Groups.This new version of ASME.org enables visitors to register as ASME.org Participants and take part in a new level of website involvement that guarantees a much more engaging experience. Registering as an ASME.org Participant is free and open to everyone you dont have to be an ASME member to become a Participant.Although visitors to the site will still be able to view articles and purchase ASME products without registering, signing in as a Participant will create an entirely new ex perience for ASME.org users. They now have the ability to create personal profiles, comment on website articles, and network with other engineers in ASMEs global community. The new Personal Profile feature on ASME.org allows others to learn about your interests, education, work experience, and current projects. Once registered, Participants can create a Personal Profile, which allows others to learn about each Participants interests, work experience, education and other credentials including publications, certifications, patents and projects. Creating a Profile is easy simply complete the data fields or import information from a LinkedIn or an ASME member account to seamlessly populate a Profile. Remember to be thorough when filling out a Profile, since creating a 100 percent complete Profile will help Participants get the most out of their experience on the new ASME.org. Another new feature, the Participant and Group Directory, makes it possible for registered users to find other Participants to add to their personal networks and search for ASME Groups based on their interests.Registering will also provide site users with a Dashboard, which is the Participants personalized space on ASME.org. The Dashboard is where Participants can send messages, share links and comments, and manage their ASME accounts, membership, and benefits. Participants can also use the Dashboard to view their ASME Group and committee activities, and stay up to date on conferences, events, articles, and publications that are based on their interests. As part of Phase 2, all official ASME Groups have been migrated to ASME.org. ASME Group members can now conduct official Group business, engage in private discussions with other Group members, and share information and content online. Additionally, registered ASME.org Participants can join any open Group by searching the Group Directory, or create a new Group based on a topic or industry.So why wait?
