Application deadline approaching for ASME's
Early Career Leadership Intern Program to Serve Engineering (ECLIPSE)
(11/15/06)
If you are ready to make a difference
in your career and want to gain leadership experience with high-level
ASME professionals, you're ready for the Early Career Leadership
Intern Program to Serve Engineering (ECLIPSE).
The Center for Leadership and Diversity's Committee on Internship
Programs is currently inviting eligible ASME members to apply for
participation in the program. The deadline for applications is Jan.
15, 2007.
Through ECLIPSE, the committee hopes to place early career engineers
in highly visible and productive roles within the ASME organization,
encourage continuing leadership training, and provide mentoring
to these engineers by high-level ASME volunteers. The program is
open to ASME members who have spent from three to 10 years in the
workforce and who have not previously served as a Leadership Development
Initiative or Minority Leadership Program intern.
ECLIPSE is a competitive internship program. The application deadline
is Jan. 15, 2007, and all applicants will be notified of the disposition
of their applications by Feb. 28, 2007.
ECLIPSE participants are matched with a specific ASME unit for a
period of one year, and work closely with an assigned mentor to
complete one or more projects throughout the year. Internships begin
at the Summer Annual Meeting (SAM) with an Early Career Leadership
session. Interns also attend the International ME Congress and Exposition
(IMECE) in November, as well as training at the Leadership Training
Conference. At the conclusion of the internship period, ECLIPSE
participants are assisted in identifying opportunities for continued
participation in ASME.
Previous LDIs and MLPs are invited to serve on the Committee on
Internship Programs, serve as advocates for additional placements
for ECLIPSE participants or as mentors in the program.

Intensive, three-day Engineering Management
Certification International (EMCI) examination to be offered next
month
If you need help preparing for the
Engineering Management Certification International Examination,
ASME is offering a class next month you may be want to attend.
The Intensive Engineering Management Preparation Course, to be held
from Dec. 6-8 at the ASME International Petroleum Technology Institute
office in Houston, will review material from all eight EMCI Domain
areas and work through many example questions in preparation for
the EMCF and EMCP examinations.
The eight domain areas of knowledge are: Market Research Technology
Updates and Environmental Scanning; Developing Products, Services,
and Processes; Planning and Adjusting Business Strategies; Engineering
Operations and Change; Financial Resources and Procurement; Marketing
and Sales; Leading Individuals and Engineering Project Teams; and
Professional Responsibility.
Prior to the class, each participant will have an opportunity to
talk with one of the two instructors to discuss particular areas
of concern so that the class may be tailored to fit the needs of
the participants. Please note, this is a review class and is not
intended to instruct attendees in new topic areas.
Registration for the Intensive Engineering Management Preparation
Course is $1,595 for ASME members, $1,695 for nonmembers.
