SME Headquarters

Founded in 1932 with 33 members, the organization was originally named The Society of Tool Engineers (STE). A year later, it was renamed the American Society of Tool Engineers (ASTE). It finally became the Society of Manufacturing Engineers in 1969.

Publications

SME publishes several hundred educational books and videos, two peer-reviewed scholarly journals, over 17,000 technical papers, the Manufacturing Engineering magazine and its accompanying online streaming television network METV.

In 2006, SME published The Hitchhiker's Guide to Lean.

Certification

SME offers several industry standard certifications for professional recognition, and documentation of a member’s manufacturing-related knowledge and skills. These include the 'Certified Manufacturing Technologist' (CMfgT), 'Certified Manufacturing Engineer' (CMfgE), 'Certified Engineering Manager' (CEM) and 'Certified Enterprise Integrator' (CEI).
