Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to introduce University of Rochester undergraduates to the mechanical engineering community. This community begins with classmates and will extend to working engineers around the world. We support our mission by offering undergraduates social events to get to know other engineers, by sponsoring competitions that bring out their engineering talent, and by hosting speakers. We aim to make life as a mechanical engineer both socially and intellectually rewarding.

Fall Picnic 2009
ASME kicked off the school year with the annual Fall Picnic on Friday, September 25th, 2009, starting at around 4:00 PM. The picnic at the Roundhouse at Genesee Valley Park, a short walk (5-10 minutes) from campus, was a huge hit. Hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, chips, cookies, and drinks were enjoyed by all. The event was department-wide, so many of the mechanical engineering students, faculty, and staff reveled in the joy of the festivities.

Annual Pumpkin Launch
The annual Pumpkin Launch was out of this world!
Every year, students compete to launch pumpkins across Wilson Quad using homemade mechanical launchers. Both accuracy and distance count towards each team's final score. The winning team this year was the University of Rochester's own Mini Baja Team.
See the Official Rules or contact Trevor Pollock (uroch.asme@gmail.com) for more information about the Pumpkin Launch.
