Purdue ASME Student Chapter (ASME)

ASME
The EPICS ASME team is a design team affiliated with the Purdue chapter of ASME. Our team is developing an automated, low-cost, and high-yield hydroponic system to be implemented in community centers in Indiana through our partners at the Marion County Farm Bureau (MCFB). Our project aims to address and help address the issues of food-insecurity and food-deserts that exist in these communities by growing fresh produce that may not be available in those areas.

Purdue University’s chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has one goal: prepare its members to land the job or internship of their dreams! With over 7 different design teams developing projects such as Grand Prix Karts, Prosthetics, and Hydroponics, alongside CAD Training in collaboration with MILESTONES, ASME offers incredible opportunities to get hands on engineering experience. The chapter hosts weekly professional development sessions, an extensive network of company connections, FE Exam Prep resources, social events, and so much more. As the fastest growing organization on campus and Purdue’s Year of Excellence award winner, they strive to provide members of any major with first class opportunities for growth and leadership.
