NEWSLETTER FALL 2013 http://divisions.asme.org/med/MessagefromtheChairDearFellowManufacturingEngineeringDivision(MED)Members,

On behalf of the MED Executive Committee, I am writing this article for the newsletter to

provide you with an update on the stateofthedivision. The division remains strong with

3200 primary members and continues to grow. This is due to the dedicated members and

volunteerslikeyouthatcontinuetoadvancethescienceandpracticeofmanufacturingboth

nationally and internationally. There are several exciting activities and initiatives at the

divisionand

that

will

sustain

these

current

trends

into

the

future.

Active member participation is always a key to the growth and prosperity of a volunteer

based organization such as ASME/MED. Our executive committee currently consists of Dr.

Xiaoping Yang (Vice Chair), Prof. Brian Paul (Program Chair), Dr. Shawn Moylan

The 8th ASME International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC2013), sponsored by the

Manufacturing Engineering Division (MED) of ASME, wasjointly held with the 41st North American Manufacturing

Research Conference (NAMRC41), sponsored by the North American Manufacturing Research Institution of SME

(NAMRI/SME),andhostedbytheUniversityofWisconsinMadisonfromJune10toJune14,2013.Asleadingworldclass

societies in theMechanical Engineering field,ASME and SME act as globalbridges between industries, governmen

laboratories,andacademicinstitutions.

TheMSEC2013proceedings include147peerreviewedpapers(152acceptedtoconference 5removedfornoshow

and 20 posters. 10 additional posters were presented at the conference but not included in the proceedings. The

technical papers and posters come from authors representing 22 countries around the world. MSEC is pleased topresent four technical tracks in theMSEC2013proceedings:Processing, Systems,Micro andNanoTechnologies, and

The University of Michigan--Ann Arbor is pleased to invite you to attend the 2014 International Manufacturin

Research Conference, combining three organizations:

American Soc iety o f Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International Manufac turing Science andEngineering Conference (MSEC 2014)*;

42nd North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC 42), sponsored by the NorthAmerican Manufac turing Research Inst itut ion o f the Society of Manufac tu ring Engineers(NAMRI/SME); and

Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) International Conference on Materials andProcessing (ICM&P 2014), sponsored by the JSME and ASME

MSECis the foremost annual forum sponsored by the Manufacturing Engineering Division (MED) of ASMEInternational. It is intended to disseminate the most recent manufacturing research and development through bot

technical presentations and panel sessions.NAMRCis the premier international forum for applied research and industrial applications in manufacturing anddesign, sponsored by NAMRI/SME. Global academicians, government and industry researchers, engineers, andleaders in manufacturing attend this conference to interact with each other and advance the field.

ICM&P is the key conference of the Materials and Processing Division (M&P) of JSME. The conference highlighcutting-edge manufacturing research in technical paper, poster, and panel sessions.

The conference schedule will include keynote and technical presentations; expert panels; student postpresentations; an exhibition of industry partners; an early career forum; University of Michigan lab tours; industtours; an awards banquet; luncheons; and more. These co-located conferences will be held at the Cobo Centlocated on Detroits revitalized riverfront, in conjunction with the SME BigM event and exhibition.

Michigan and its adjacent regions are the manufacturing centers of North America. Detroit Wayne County MetAirport (DTW) is 21 miles (34 km) from the convention center and hotels.
