FAQs
Your questions about next steps forward for Mechanical Engineering.
What’s happening with ME magazine?
Engineering knowledge has the greatest impact when it can be shared widely. That’s why Mechanical Engineering (ME) is transforming from a monthly publication into a digital destination for insights on the technologies, trends, and ideas shaping the engineering profession.
Why is ME magazine changing its production workflow?
This change allows us to deliver timely content more frequently and in formats that are more accessible, engaging, and responsive to the needs of today's audiences.
Where can I find ME magazine content right now?
ME content is now available on asme.org/topics-resources. The new home to the complete digital issue archive is magazine.asme.org.
Is ME magazine shutting down?
No. This change is about format and delivery, not about reducing ASME’s voice or commitment to high-quality engineering content.
I’m an advertiser/sponsor. How does this affect my placement?
We value the partnerships that have supported ME magazine and are committed to managing this transition professionally and responsibly. Our team will work directly with you to honor existing commitments and discuss new opportunities to engage with audiences through ASME platforms.
