ASM International, an association dedicated to informing, educating and connecting the materials community, has announced a collaboration with global standards organization ASTM International. The objective of this course collaboration is to establish a joint hosting of educational courses between the two organizations.
The initiative is reported to be an opportunity for each organization to work together to integrate, publish, market and collaborate on educational products to improve the value of each organization's content to their respective memberships and customers.
These educational products will include a variety of digital short courses, e-learning courses and live, in-person courses that help to meet the needs of the materials science community at large, including topics such as additive manufacturing (AM), corrosion, metallographic techniques, materials characterization and welding.
“I’m excited to be working with ASTM International to help bring each organization’s area of expertise together for the betterment of our memberships and customers through both co-development of coursework as well mutual exchange of online courses to each other’s communities,” says Ryan Milosh, chief sales and marketing officer.
ASTM is yet another partner to join ASM International in a mutually beneficial collaboration that allows both societies to expand their educational reach.
