Oak Ridge Chapter Meetings

Our local chapter holds monthly dinner meetings—generally 5:30 p.m. to about 8:00 p.m. on a Thursday—with an invited technical speaker, facility tour, or special presentation. We also organize an educational symposium every year, and several additional purely social events. Everyone with an interest in materials science or engineering is welcome (you don’t need to be a member of ASM).
