ASME and SHPE Offer Reciprocal Membership Discounts
ASME and SHPE Offer Reciprocal Membership Discounts
NEW YORK (October 26, 2022) – The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and SHPE (Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers) have entered into an agreement to offer reciprocal membership discounts. Effective immediately, ASME members can also join SHPE for a 50% discounted price and vice versa.
“We are so pleased to formalize this collaboration with SHPE,” says ASME Executive Director/CEO Tom Costabile. “Both of our organizations understand that pursuing diversity in engineering and STEM fields ultimately leads to more innovation. We’re stronger together.”
The reciprocal membership discount is the first step in a collaboration between the two engineering societies with more announcements to come. Both organizations share a goal of advancing, disseminating, and applying engineering knowledge to improve the quality of life. These discounts allow ASME and SHPE members—especially early career engineers—the opportunity to participate in both organizations at a lower cost.
"It's exciting to be taking SHPE's relationship with ASME to the next level,” says SHPE CEO Chris Wilkie, Ph.D. “There is no denying ASME's influence and significance within the engineering industry. And with 24% of our own membership specializing in mechanical engineering, I am hopeful the Hispanic community can join ASME in creating a future of diverse technical innovation nationally and worldwide. This partnership is a clear next step for both organizations."
The SHPE member 50% discount is applicable to all member types of the ASME MemberCORE plan (student, early career engineer, and professional), but excludes the MemberLITE plan. The ASME member 50% discount is applicable to all SHPE membership types, except for Lifetime memberships.

About ASME
ASME helps the global engineering community develop solutions to real world challenges. Founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME is a not-for-profit professional organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the vital role of the engineer in society. ASME codes and standards, publications, conferences, continuing education, and professional development programs provide a foundation for advancing technical knowledge and a safer world. In 2020, ASME formed the International Society of Interdisciplinary Engineers (ISIE) LLC, a new for-profit subsidiary to house business ventures that will bring new and innovative products, services, and technologies to the engineering community, and later established the holding company, Global Knowledge Solutions LLC. In 2021, ASME launched a second for-profit subsidiary, Metrix Connect LLC, an industry events and content platform to accelerate digital transformation in the engineering community and an agent for the Mechanical Engineering® brand of media products.
