im a freshman in high school and i am doing a project for my introduction to engineering design and i need to know the basics of how the asme came to be.

Check out [1] (which I should try to merge into the material here). -- Kaszeta 17:17, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

American Society of Mechanical Engineers→ ASME – ASME never refers to itself as "American Society of Mechanical Engineers", and on its own "about ASME" it says "Founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, today's ASME is" [2]. I feel like this article should be called "ASME" rather than the seemingly defunct "American Society of Mechanical Engineers". The new article name of ASME would thus conform better to WP:NCA (like NASA, laser, radar, etc.). --Matthew 22:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - Support votes

  1. support - I nominated it, clearly I support it. --Matthew 22:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - Oppose votes

  • Oppose - not "widely known" like that, and there are other uses. -- Beardo 06:10, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose I agree with Beardo, unlike the examples the nom mentions (Nasa, radar, etc), the acronym ASME is not widely known and recognize so the official name should be kept. 205.157.110.11 00:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose on grounds of obscurity per 205.157.110.11 Sumahoy 22:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
