American Society Of Mechanical Engineers
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is an American professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, an advocacy organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global. ASME has over 85,000 members in more than 135 countries worldwide. ASME was founded in 1880 by Alexander Lyman Holley, Henry Rossiter Worthington, John Edison Sweet and Matthias N. Forney in response to numerous steam boiler pressure vessel failures. Kno ...

George Leitmann
George Leitmann (born May 24, 1925) is an Austrian-born American engineering scientist and educator. Early life and education Leitmann was born on May 24, 1925, to a fully assimilated Jewish family in Vienna, Austria. His paternal grandfather was a career officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Army. His father had been a volunteer in the Austrian Army in World War I and was wounded twice on the Serbian front. Nonetheless, by the spring of 1940 the situation in Austria had become so dangerous that George's father fled to neighboring Yugoslavia, still an independent kingdom, and the rest of the family, George, his mother and two grandmothers, were able to emigrate to the US in April 1940. Tragically, Yugoslavia was occupied by Germany a year later and George's father was murdered in a concentration camp in Nis, Serbia. George attended a Technical High School in New York from which he graduated in December 1943, whereupon he immediately volunteered for the Arm ...
