The Younger Member Forum (YMF) is open to members 35 years of age or younger, as well as others that are still "young at heart." The group is a stepping stone for young engineers and recent graduates to develop professionally via a mix of technical presentations, community service, student outreach, and social activities. These opportunities assist individuals in building a network of peers that are also in the early stages of their careers. To encourage students to continue their involvement as younger members, ASCE offers a special graduated dues schedule for members in their first five years after receiving a baccalaureate degree.
If you would like to receive announcements of upcoming YMF meetings, social gatherings, and other events in the NYC area on a regular basis, you can subscribe to the Met Section listserv or follow our page on Facebook. Anyone interested in getting involved with our group is encouraged to simply show up at one of our future events listed on the right side of this page or contact any of the YMF officers for more information. If you live or work in Rockland or Westchester counties, the Lower Hudson Valley Branch has its own Younger Member Group.

When choosing a company to work for, most young engineers spend a lot of time considering which firm is "right" for them. Everyone wants to make the "right" decisions to advance their careers, and one of the largest issues young engineers consider is whether it is better to work for a large or small firm. In order to provide further insight into this question, the Met Section's Younger Member Forum (YMF) chose "Engineering Firms: Does Size Matter?" as the topic for the Eleventh Annual CEO Forum, which was held at Columbia University in Manhattan on March 6, 2012.

Peter Mancuso and Anahid Andonian meet with Representative
Robert Turner (center).
By: Peter S. Mancuso, P.E.
The prospect of attending ASCE's Annual Legislative Fly-In had been on my mind for quite a while. The conference always sounded a bit too involved in politics for my liking. Lessons in civics were never my strong suit. However, my interest in the policies that shape both my personal life and professional career has increased in recent years. As times have gotten harder for those close to my position, I began to question why more wasn't being done to insure that this country's talented engineering force was being put to work for a better tomorrow.

On Tuesday, February 21, 2012, the Met Section Younger Member Forum hosted its first-ever information session for engineers registered for or thinking about taking the PE Exam. The YMF assembled a panel of engineers who recently passed the Civil PE Exam to share their personal experiences and participate in an open Q&A session with prospective exam takers. The attendees learned valuable study tips and test taking strategies. They also received a lot of practical information such as how to get to the testing location and what to bring with them.
