Who We Are
|
San Jose State University's American Society of Mechanical Engineers Club is one of the most multidisciplinary organizations on campus that covers multiple core engineering industries. First year students are able to approach our fellow members with project ideas with the chance of becoming fully developed projects. This year alone, over 20 projects were approved from our members that are either completed or in the process of being built. Students have tackled concepts in Automotive, Thermal Systems, Machining Processes, Food Delivery, Robotics, Additive Manufacturing, Naval Aerodynamics, and Automation just to name a few. We directly collaborate with our sponsors to get a better grasp on their industry and find solutions to common problems. We make sure students have ample opportunities to diversify their portfolio throughout the year while maintaining high academic status.

e-HPVC (ASME Annual Competition)
|
e-HPVC was inspired by the need for transportation in developing countries where having a car is not always the most realistic idea. The competition encourages a team of students to design and construct their own vehicle, as well as create a technical report that both documents the design process and includes analytical data regarding strength of material and aerodynamics of the vehicle. This competition requires a team of students to think critically and use sound engineering practices to create an entry for the competition that is safe to operate, efficient, and relatively inexpensive.

Spartan Bells Combat Robotics
|
Annually, ASME holds a combat robot competition where students participate all over the bay area. Similar to BattleBots, students will have their robots do battle in caged arenas for all to watch. The competition encourages a team of students to design and construct their own robot under weight constraints while developing skills in machining, electronics, and overall design engineering.
