National Design Engineering Conference Chair

Report: National Manufacturing Week 2007 Submitted by: John E. Renaud, NDEC Chair of DED

The National Design Engineering Show and Conference is moving from March to September for the 2007 National Manufacturing Week (www.ManufacturingWeek.com). The Design Engineering Division traditionally sponsors more than a third of the ASME sessions at this conference. Each session involves a fifty minute presentation relevant to industrial participants. The Design Engineering Division would like to encourage members to develop sessions for next years NMW 2007. The chance to make a fifty minute presentation to a large industrial audience on a topic relevant to your company’s products or services is a great opportunity. Please submit your proposed sessions at the ASME web site: http://www.asmeconferences.org/nmw2007/

Keep in mind that ASME’s primary motivation in organizing this conference is to attract potential buyers to the show floor. These buyers include: practicing engineers, technical and mid-managers, shop floor and plant supervisors. As such, ASME is keen on organizing sessions that add immediate value to this group of people; the information that they obtain at the show and sessions can be used right away in their work place. This group also represents a major portion of ASME’s membership base and as an organization we have an incentive to provide them with programming that facilitates professional growth. To that goal, we are looking for presentations (preferably case studies) that offer the following:

  • Real, practical solutions to everyday design, manufacturing and management problems
  • Ways to reduce cost and increase productivity
  • Ways to make money faster and more efficiently
  • Ways to improve quality and reliability
  • Avenues to grow professionally

Historically, sessions surrounding these general topics have performed very well and continue to be in demand. These sessions aim to provide the audience member with solutions he/she can implement today, not a couple of years down the road.

Conferences

2006 IDETC Summary Report

by Vijay Kumar

The ASME IDETC/CIE 2006 Conference held in Philadelphia featured six conferences (MR, DAC, CIE, DTM, DFMLC, DEC, and CIE) and drew nearly 600 participants with student participation accounting for over 20%. This was the first year the International Design and Design Education (DEC) Symposium was highlighted as a IDETC conference. In addition to paper presentations, the conference featured tutorials and workshops which were formally solicited and reviewed. The conference included a networking event for students and several contributed research demonstrations and exhibits during the conference, in addition to sponsors’ exhibits. Several invited sessions were designed to engage experts from industry, academia and government to address problems and challenges facing the community.

2007 IDETC Conference Announcement and Registration Form

2007 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers in Engineering Conference Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, NV, September 4-7, 2007 http://www.asmeconferences.org/idetc07

The 2007 IDETC/CIE has received submittals of a record-breaking 1,400+ papers by March 08th, contributing to IDETC/CIE’s thirteen conferences. (See Appendix for detailed listings of conferences.) Based on the current statistics, the state of the IDETC/CIE is superb. The General and Program Chairs (H.S. Tzou and Nader Jalili) would like to express their sincerest thanks to all conference and symposium organizers, technical committee chairs, ASME staffs (Erin Dolan and Christina Perakis), as well as various advisory and international committee members. Without these “leaders” and “promoters,” this new record setting is not possible. Preparation for the technical conference is progressing in accordance with planned schedules. In addition to the excellent technical program, IDETC/CIE07 plan to offer two receptions. Two engineering deans: Dr. Tom Lester, University of Kentucky (UK), and Dr. Eric Sandgren, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), will welcome all old and new friends at the Deans’ Reception planned for the first evening on UNLV campus. The IDETC/CIE will host the second reception at either Rio or Paris. (Please refer to the final program or web information for details.) Las Vegas is an exciting city to visit. Please come to enjoy not only the excellent technical program, but also the dynamic city. See you at the IDETC/CIE07, September 04-07, 2007.

Power Transmission and Gearing Committee

The Power Transmission and Gearing (PTG) Committee is preparing with the 10th International ASME Power Transmission and Gearing Conference that will be held as part of the 2007 IDETC in Las Vegas. This international conference is held once every four years and attracts a large number of papers globally. The Committee met to define the following symposia:

  • Gear Design and Analysis
  • Gear Strength and Durability
  • Gear Dynamics and Noise
  • Gear Diagnostics
  • Gear Manufacturing
  • Gear Lubrication and Efficiency
  • Engineered Surfaces and Tribology
  • Transmissions
  • Chains, Belts, & Traction Drives
  • Couplings, Clutches, and Bearings

Technical session organizers for each symposium have been identified. An expanded mailing list was compiled and a Call for Papers flier was mailed more than 1000 researchers and engineers worldwide. Based on the initial response received to date, the Committee expects more than 120 paper submissions to the Power Transmission and Gearing Conference. The committee plans on meeting in early March to identify the Buckingham Lecturer and session chairs in addition to compiling a list of reviewers for the review of the draft papers.

RSAFP Technical Committee

The Reliability, Stress Analysis, and Failure Prevention (RSAFP) Committee of the Design Engineering Division participated in 2006 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition with six sessions. The 22 papers presented included contributions from Japan, China and Austria. A good mix of papers from Industry and Academia was present.

The RSAFP Committee will be participating at the IMECE 2007, as well as at the International Design Engineering Technical Conference to be held in Las Vegas, NV, September 4-7, 2007.
