materials, kinematics and dynamics, and machine design.
The Web seminars are offered by engineering faculty with years of
live review course experience. The live Webinars will concentrate
on tips for passing the exam; commonly made mistakes during problem
solving; summaries of each subject; useful exam resources; and a
question-and-answer session. A compete online review self-study

ASME Congressional Fellow applications now being
accepted
ASME currently has an opening for
a Congressional Fellow to serve a one-year term in the office of
a U.S. Representative or Senator or in the office of a Congressional
Committee. Applications are due April 1, 2007.
The program enables selected ASME members to devote a year working
in government and providing engineering and technical advice to
policy makers in Congress, federal agencies, and the White House.
Federal Government Fellowships provide a valuable public service
to the nation while at the same time giving engineers a unique opportunity
to participate directly in the policy making process. Previous fellows
have described their year in Washington, D.C., as the most exciting,
rewarding, and educational period of their professional careers.
A Fellowship applicant must be a US citizen and an ASME member at
the time of application. The following credentials are encouraged:
at least five years of professional experience, an advanced engineering
degree, professional engineer registration, and at least some public
policy experience.
Additional information about the Congressional Fellowship is available
at www.asme.org/NewsPublicPolicy/GovRelations/Programs/
Congressional_Fellowships.cfm.
ASME is also seeking applications from candidates interested in
serving at the Office of Science and Technology Policy of the Executive
Office of the President and at the US Department of Homeland Security.
