From the ashes of devastation, a challenge for engineers arises

• In the aftermath of terrorist attacks, a time of reckoning for America
  Two months after terrorists hijacked four planes, crashed them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, the struggle to make any sense of a day in which more than 5,000 people died continues.
• In fulfilling a call to civic duty, the life of an ASME member is spared, again
  Tuesday, Sept. 11, was election day in New York City, and Edwin Monteverde was running late to his office on the 86th floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower because he stopped to vote.
• Unexpected assignment at Ground Zero turns out to be the 'most important' of a 40-year career
  A civil engineer by training with nearly four decades of experience, Bernie Meyers wasn't prepared for the assignment he got on Sept. 12.
• As the World Trade Center towers fall, a brother watches and a search ensues
  For seven long days, Bob Gullickson and two of his younger brothers dug through the remains of the World Trade Center. On the eighth day, all hope that they would recover the body of a fourth brother dissolved.
• Three members know to among the missing in wreckage
  Next spring, ASME International and the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers will sponsor the 10th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE 10) — the premier conference for the world's nuclear engineering community.
  

Panelists discuss Technology vs. Terrorism
A special plenary session focusing on how technology can be used to combat terrorism — specifically in biowarfare and aircraft design — is scheduled during ASME International's Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition.

Registration for the Congress is at its highest level in recent years
The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York did little to shake the stability of registration for this year's International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, which takes place this month in New York.

New recruits keep rolling in
