Greeting from the California Maritime Academy. We about to come to a
close of the first semester of the school year and the ASME members are
very excited about what the new semester holds. We have many activities
planned including plant company plant tours, physics day at Great
America, the annual Regional Student Leadership Conference, and much
more. The student section of the California Maritime Academy had the
pleasure of meeting Robert D. Glynn Jr., the CEO of PG&E, at a dinner
hosted by the Mt. Diablo Section of ASME. We are also happy to announce
that we will be hosting the regional student leadership conference for
1999. We are working diligently on fundraising to make possible the many
activities that we feel will help us grow and prosper as engineers in the
future. We are looking forward to having a great year. If you would like
some more information about The California Maritime Academy student
section, feel free to contact Gene Ellis at (707) 451-8163 or e-mail

Greetings from U.C. Berkeley! We're starting a new semester here
at Cal, and ASME has many great activities planned in the coming months. In
addition to our monthly general meetings, we will be co-hosting the
Student-Professional Awareness Conference with IEEE in February. In
March, we will be traveling to the University of Nevada at Reno for the
Region IX RSC as well as holding our annual Crab Feed. We will finish off
our semester with contests at U.C Berkeley's Engineers' Week carnival and
at Cal Day (U.C. Berkeley's open house). ASME will also continue its
participation in intramural (IM) sports in the spring semester after
winning an IM indoor soccer championship last fall.
If you have any comments or suggestions for the U.C. Berkeley student section, or if your company would like to buy a resume book, please feel free to contact us at (510) 642-5549 or at asme@euler.berkeley.edu.

ASME is going strong here. We have been very successful in recruiting new
members. Our HPV team is currently 16 members strong, with four
individual groups focusing on steering, friction, fairing, and frame
issues. In addition, we have several students who will be participating
in the student design competiton and old guard competitions. Our tour of
Applied Materials was a big hit. We hope that our upcoming tour of the
United Airlines aircraft maintenance facility will be as successful. We
are currently working on the following projects: composites class and
lab, obtaining a computer system which can run ProE, and a career fair.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
The SFSU ASME and SAMPE chapters are also developing a set of student intiated, student run Hands On Skills and Technical Seminars (HOSTS). We hope that this will attract still more students to the mechanical engineering profession. We are also working on developing a web page. Wish us luck! Anyone wishing to contact the society should e-mail Greg King II at gkingii@sfsu.edu.
