Hi Tushar,

I have worked from Sri Lanka through the far east to New Zealand. I have met some very talented engineers and have learnt a great deal from people who are paid a small percentage of what I am paid. They dont have to pay what I do to live here, I know, but I think as a community we engineers can show the rest of the world that we can share.

Hi Geoff, 
 

You are absolutely right. $ 25 may be a small amount in western contries, but if you think of asian contries like India, and our domestic exchange rates, its comes out to be a big amount and all most unaffordable for most of the piping engineers. In India, there are so many young and talented engineers, but you will not find  them to be members of Instititions and 
bodies like ASME. The reason is obvious, we simply cannot afford their heavy membership charges. The cost of a good piping handbook published there may be around a big portion of take home salary of an piping engineer here.

Paul, 
 

Some of the magazines and Institutions found that fees in the western world became astronomic in the developing world. Places such as Asian countries and 
Russia where income is out of kilter with the relative exchange rates are examples. If foreign companies are operating in those areas perhaps they can 
sponsor a number of individuals? This leads to two types of membership corporate and individual? Its beginning to sound like an ASME sort of set up? 
 

Another approach may be that individuals sponsor a student? Act as a mentor etc? This would have to work on trust to a large extent.

either. With

track.
