Joining an Engineering Society?

<p>[Engineering</a> Standards, News and Resources for Engineers - ASME](<a href=“http://www.asme.org/]Engineering”>http://www.asme.org/)

<p>What would be the point of joining these later on in life? My advisor told me to look into one of these.</p>

<p>Later in life? The main advantage is access to conferences and publications, as well as the additional opportunities for publishing your own work.</p>

<p>As a student there are additional advantages such as access to scholarships and sometimes research activities that are not generally available.</p>
