The Outreach for Engineers program is a specialty forum designed for students who may not be familiar with the industry as well as those who have already specialized in this area. The Outreach forum takes place each year during the OMAE conference.

The typical Outreach attendee is a graduate student and co-author of OMAE paper.

Outreach activities consist of a Team Building activity and Welcome Reception on the Saturday before the forum, Speaker program on Sunday and a wrap-up Breakfast on Thursday. Outreach attendees are encouraged to attend the entire conference. In an effort to facilitate quality student attendance, students must apply to the program and be reviewed by the organizing committee. 30+ students are granted funding to pay for the Outreach specialty forum and the OMAE conference. A smaller amount of students are granted a travel subsidy. The OOAE Division of ASME is the main supporter of the program. Your Sponsorship would allow us to increase the number of participants in this program, and enrich their experience, by sponsoring attendance to the annual banquet and/or technical tour.
