Spirit of ME in ASME at SFU: ASME Logo Competition

Dr. Shahram Payandeh, Professor, SFU Engineering

The ASME Student Chapter at SFU invites all interested students to participate in a design competition. The purpose is to select the design which best represents the spirit of ME in research and education that is being conducted at our School of Engineering Science. Some of these research areas are:

Computer Controlled Mechanisms
Robotics
Autonomous Wheel-Chair design
Prosthetic Hands
Dexterous multi-fingered robotic end-effectors
Laparoscopic and endoscopic tools
Modular structures
Mobile robots
Aerial robots
Computer-Aided Design
Computer-Aided Manufacturing
Control of Electro-Mechanical Systems
Space robotics
Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS)
Underwater Vehicles
Master/Slave robotic systems
Tele-Robotics

The deadline for entries is May 1st 1996. The judging committee will consist of ASME members of British Columbia Chapters from SFU, UBC, UVic and local industries. The winner will receive an award of $100 as a token of appreciation from ASME British Columbia Section. The final design will be adapted in all future SFU/ASME correspondence and activities. This competition is open to all students, but SFU-ASME student members in particular are highly encouraged to participate.

Just a reminder that first year students can join ASME for free.
