IDETC 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.

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.

National Design Engineering Conference Chair
Report: National Manufacturing Week 2005 Submitted by: John E. Renaud, NDEC Chair of DED
ASME submitted a total of 41 technical sessions proposals to National Manufacturing Week 2005 (www.Manufacturing Week.com). The Design Engineering Division is sponsoring 7 of these 41 sessions. 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 2006. 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.
1. All speakers will receive 10 free passes to hand out for their respective sessions only
2. The very high quality presentations will be posted on Lexus Nexus
Keep in mind that ASME and REED’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, REED 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. In today’s economy and with companies cutting back on employee travel expenses, a really strong case needs to be made for the company’s ROI in sending someone to this conference. The sessions need to reflect that value and return on investment!
What we are not looking for is the following:
- R&D type presentations which highlight potential technologies and methods for future use
- Academically oriented presentations, including case and marketing studies (no matter how relevant they might seem to industry)
