Officers
Discuss Their Views on Becoming a Society Leader
 At
the upcoming officer selection meeting at the ASME Annual Meeting in June, the
ASME Nominating Committee will decide on the final candidates for a number of
leadership positions that will start in 2011, including ASME president, three
Board of Governors members-at-large, and five sector vice presidents.
The
Nominating Committee is currently accepting nominations for these posts, and is
encouraging all ASME members to consider running for one of these leadership
positions. Realizing that many prospective nominees may have questions about the
personal and professional benefits of such a commitment, the committee has asked
several longtime ASME volunteers about their careers as ASME officers and what
made them decide to run for office. Read

From
the President...
 "Prosperity
is a familiar New Year’s toast worldwide. Yet the mere word understates our
measure of success in the global engineering community. We’re no longer talking
numbers, strictly speaking. In addition to economic measures such as employment
and growth statistics, prosperity is irremovably linked to idea creation and
cultural perceptions."

Nominations Deadline Nears for the IAPWS Helmholtz Award
 The
nominations deadline for the IAPWS Helmholtz Award, given annually to a junior
researcher — less than 15 years from receipt of highest earned degree — in a
field relevant to the interests of the International Association for the
Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS), is Jan. 31.
Water
plays a critical role in many of the major technological challenges facing our
planet. Thus the goal of IAPWS is to promote and develop a reliable body of
knowledge on water and aqueous mixtures for industrial and scientific
applications. The official U.S. representation to IAPWS is provided by the
Subcommittee on Properties of Steam of ASME's Research and Technology Committee
on Water and Steam in Thermal Systems, which is part of the Center for Research
and Technology Development (CRTD). Read

 FREE MISUMI Configurable Components E-Book
In
the world of factory automation there are three major types of
components. First is the custom
component, which is when a design engineer draws a component and
has it manufactured. Then there is the non-configurable
component, which is typically manufactured and sold at
high-volumes. Now there is the configurable
component, which enables the design engineer to specify
components through various design parameters.
Written
by Engineering Manager, Chris Blaszczyk, the eBook explains how to design
systems incorporating configurable components to boost efficiency and minimize
the reliance on custom parts.

Spotlight
On: ASME's Federal Fellows Program
 For
more than 35 years, ASME Federal Fellows have been applying the same pragmatic,
problem-solving approach to public policymaking that they are trained to apply
in the physical world.
ASME
is currently accepting applications for the 2010-2011 Federal Fellows Program,
which gives selected ASME members the opportunity to spend one year in
Washington, D.C. working on the staff of a congressional committee, U.S. senator
or U.S. representative. Read
