ASMEs 2014 New Faces of Engineering Winner, New Faces-College Edition Nominees Selected ASMEs 2014 New Faces of Engineering Winner, New Faces-College Edition Nominees Selected ASMEs 2014 New Faces of Engineering Winner, New Faces-College Edition Nominees SelectedLast week during Engineers Week, ASME member Stacy Moss and 12 otherbei early career engineers were selected to the 2014 class of the New Faces of Engineering program, which honors practicing engineers up to the age of 30 for their contributions to the engineering profession and society. In addition, three ASME student members - Ashton Archer, Emily Miner and Meredith Campbell - were announced this month as ASMEs three finalists for the 2014 New Faces of Engineering-College Edition program, a spin-off that recognizes the achievements of third-, fourth- and fifth-year engineering students.Each year, engineering societies nominate members 30 years or younger to be considered for the New Faces of Engineering program, which is administered by DiscoverE (formerly the National Engineers Week Foundation). Moss, who was nominated by ASME, and the 12 other New Faces winners were announced in a full-page ad in USA Today on Feb. 20 during Engineers Week. Stacy Moss Moss, a shock and survivability analyst at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center teilen Newport, joined Division Newport in 2009 as a mechanical engineer and in the following years has advanced to positions of increasing responsibility. According to Captain T.W. Cramer, U.S. Navy Commander, in his nomination cover letter, Moss has quickly proved herself as one of the best shock and survivability analysts in this organization, leading a Weapons Systems Integration Team for more than a year and assuming responsibilities for weapon shipping, handling and stowage systems, vertical and horizontal weapons launch systems, among other critical tasks. Ms. Moss represents the best qualities in an engineer, and is an outstanding representative of Division Newport, as well as the ASME organization, he continued.Moss, a member of ASME since 2005, received her bachelors and masters degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2006 and 2009, respectively.

Ashton Archer On Feb. 13, Ashton Archer, Merry Campbell and Emily Miner were announced as ASMEs three 2014 New Faces of Engineering-College Edition nominees on the programs Facebook page (www.facebook.com/CollegeEdition). Ashton Archer is a fifth-year engineering student at Kansas State University, where she is an active member of the universitys ASME student section. Archer has also participated in Kansas States outreach program KAWSE (K-State office for the Advancement of Women in Science and Engineering), where she worked with middle and high school girls durin g a summer workshop to encourage them to pursue engineering and science-related fields. Emily Miner Emily Miner is a fourth-year student at Worchester Polytechnic Institute. As student section chair, Minor serves as the main point of contact with the Worchester ASME senior section, which she has assisted with the organization of professional development events. She has also served as a mentor to young engineering ambassadors on several occasions, discussing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) topics with students ranging from elementary school through high school. Meredith Campbell Meredith Campbell, a third-year engineering student at Daniel Webster College in Nashua, N.H., has served the Daniel Webster ASME student section in various capacities, including chair. She has also participated in ASMEs Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC) competition, and volunteers in her local community with engineering programs for children. She is a non-tradit ional engineering student who began pursuing a mechanical engineering degree upon returning to school at the age of 23.The winners of the 2014 New Faces of Engineering-College Edition will be announced on April 2. Winners will each receive a scholarship of $500 to $1,000 and have their photo and a brief statement of their accomplishments featured on the New Faces-College Edition Facebook page.
