COLLEGE STUDENTS
Our chapter encourages interaction between the professional and student members.
We encourage students to attend the regular meetings and interact with other
members. Networking at our meetings provides students with an added advantage
when they begin their career searches for full-time positions.
During the academic year, we help students with job searches by compiling a resume
booklet for distribution to local companies. At the annual Young Members Night,
poster competition awards and scholarships are available for student members to
assist them with tuition and related expenses. The guidelines for the 2007 poster
competitions can be downloaded here.
If you are a sophomore or junior majoring in Materials Science AND a member of ASM
or a child of an ASM Pittsburgh member, you are encouraged to apply for the Past
Chairpersons' Education Assistance scholarship. The application is available here
and the deadline is February 21,2008.
In addition, our Carnegie Mellon and University of Pittsburgh student chapters are very
active during the academic year and these chapters provide additional opportunities
for students to become involved. Please contact your local chairs for more information
on how to become involved or visit the http://www.materialadvantage.org website for
more information.

Scholarship Background:
Since 1965, the Pittsburgh Golden Triangle Chapter of ASM International has annually
honored Gilbert Soler by awarding scholarships in his name to an outstanding high
school senior who will study engineering in college. The honor is most fitting because
of Gilbert Soler’s outstanding character, metallurgical expertise, and enthusiasm for
promoting student interest in metallurgy and engineering.
Gilbert Soler was educated in Columbus, Ohio achieving both a B.S. in Ceramic
Engineering in 1932 and a M.S. in Metallurgical Engineering from Ohio State
University. His career included positions as Research Engineer with Republic Steel
(1931), Assistant General Superintendent of Operations and Technology with Timken
Roller Bearing Company (1932-1942), and Vice-President of Manufacturing with Atlas
Steel (1946-1952). From then until his untimely death in 1961, he was Technical
Director of Universal-Cyclops Steel. Throughout his career, he emphasized
developing the talents of his engineers, and using the most modern technologies for
producing improved-quality high-duty steels and superalloys.
Gilbert Soler was a leader in the Pittsburgh Golden Chapter of ASM. He gave freely of
his time and knowledge in many talks to students and teachers, promoting interest in
metallurgy and engineering. In 1959-1960, he was the Chapter’s Chairman. He was
respected as a gentleman who would give the attention required to do a job well.
Continuing the involvement of Gilbert Soler in the Chapter’s work with young people is
a proud tradition. We commend his commitment to excellence to young people in
general and to applicants for his scholarship in particular. This year’s scholarship is
worth $ 1000 and will be awarded to the high school senior who best personifies that
commitment to excellence, based on academic achievement, extracurricular activities,
and future promise. Applications must be postmarked by January 18, 2008. In the
unlikely event that the selection committee feels that there are no qualified applicants,
no award will be made.
