In a response to the current Covid-19 pandemic, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is offering virtual training solutions that engineers can access from their homes. These training courses are flexible, applicable and are now available at significantly reduced prices. ASME (founded in 1880) is today a global, not-for-profit, professional organisation, particularly renowned for its internationally-applied codes and standards. This ASME initiative follows a survey of some 3 000 engineers that it carried out recently. This revealed that 80% of those surveyed believed that engineering operations would change because of the pandemic and that there would be an overall decrease in business. This would mean an acceleration in the rate of change in an already changing sector.
