Did you know?ASME and IEEE are citation and style guidelines used by different branches of engineering. ASME stands for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; IEEE is the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Both are professional organizations that publish peer-reviewed journals.
