Mahajan, Tucker Chair Professor of Engineering , Director, Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science, Virginia Tech Abstract: Engineering's impact on the daily lives of people is nothing short of astonishing; yet an ever-widening gulf remains between the engineering profession and the public at large. This disconnect goes beyond public perception or misperception of an engineer as a glorified 'calculator' and strikes at the very core of the profession as a means to enriching human lives. It is time for engineers to step out of their ivory towers and start building bridges again - the bridges to effective communication, mutual understanding, finding common objectives, and reaching for sustainable, holistic solutions to human needs. This has broad implications for the curriculum, methodology and outcome of engineering education and research. This talk will present a two-pronged approach to advance these ideas. First, engineering research must extend beyond the comfortable limits of analytical tools and the metrics of success related to external research dollars. It must revert to its mission of problem solving for improving human living, with an added emphasis on global reach and sustainability. Second, the curriculum must be liberalized with the goal of producing Humanistic Engineers - 21st century engineers who are able to initiate and engage in effective dialogue with non-technical audiences regarding socio-humanistic critiques of engineering processes and products, and who are able to adopt multiple perspectives and perform their own socio-humanistic interlocutors. Several examples from our modest efforts in implementing these approaches will be presented. 1:30pm - 3:30pm Department Heads Forum Sponsored by Mechanical Engineering Department Heads Committee 2:00pm – 5:15pm 2007- Diversity Workshop: We Are Stronger As A Whole: Diversity Maturity as a Roadmap to Success Sponsored by the Center for Leadership & Diversity This workshop, sponsored by ASME's Center for Leadership & Diversity, will explore the concept of diversity maturity across an organization's levels of performance and culture. As the global marketplace increasingly challenges organizations to leverage their constituents' differences we will address how diversity maturity impacts such key business areas as growth, performance excellence and corporate integrity. Speakers include: Todd Allen, Johnson & Johnson; Suzanne Brainard, University of Washington; Mary Juhas, National Science Foundation; and Jaye Smith, Breakwater Consulting. Moderators: Clark McCarrell, Nevada Power Company, and Mary Lynn Realff, Georgia Institute of Technology. This workshop is open to all IMECE attendees at no charge. 3:30pm - 5:00pm Tips for New and Prospective Department Heads and Chairs Sponsored by Mechanical Engineering Department Heads Committee This session is open to new ME department heads as well as faculty who aspire to be ME department heads.

The Robert Henry Thurston Lecture, presented annually at the International Mechanical Engineering Congress, provides an outstanding leader in pure or applied science or engineering with the honor of presenting to the Society a lecture that encourages stimulating thinking on a subject of broad technical interest to engineers. The Robert Henry Thurston Lecture was elevated to a Society award in 2000. The 2007 award recipient is Wing Kam Liu of Northwestern University. 3:45pm - 5:15pm Panel on Cyberinfrastructure for Heat Transfer This panel will introduce the concept of a new web-based data repository for the heat-transfer community named thermalHUB.org, which was recently established with a seed/planning grant from the National Science Foundation. Presentations from panelists will introduce the community to some of the possibilities for creating rich, cyberinfrastructure-based content that can aid research and learning. Most importantly, the event will seek to identify community needs and opportunities for community-driven contributions. Topics to be discussed include: transport phenomena simulation tools from atomistic to continuum scales, databases for thermal transport properties, forums to coordinate collaborative experiments, new learning tools, a community-access wiki resource, and the dissemination of online video/audio lectures and seminars with a global reach. Panelists: Tim Fisher, Professor, School of Mechanical Engineering, Purdue University; Jayathi Y. Murthy, Professor, School of Mechanical Engineering, Purdue University; M. Pinar Mengüç, Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Kentucky; Li Shi, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin; Greg Walker, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Vanderbilt University; Dr. Jennifer R.

The purpose is to provide a forum for displaying innovative visualization techniques and their applications to heat transfer phenomena. Refreshments will be served during the session. A subset of submitted entries, selected on the basis of originality, innovative feature of the visualization technique, the ability to convey and exchange information, and the artistic beauty of heat transfer, will be published in the August issue of the ASME Journal of Heat Transfer. 4:00pm - 5:30pm Nadai & Orr Lecture Sponsored by Materials Division The Nadai Medal is awarded in recognition of significant contributions and outstanding achievements which broaden the field of materials engineering. Such achievements may be, for example, in the areas of education, research, development, and service to the field and profession. The Nadai Medal was established in 1975 on the proposal of the Materials Division to honor Arpad L. Nadai, who was a pioneer in the field of engineering materials, contributing particularly to the area of plasticity. His perspective also enabled him to give strong impetus to development in fatigue and high temperature behavior. The 2007 award recipient is Huseyin Sehitoglu of the University of Illinois at Urbana. The Leighton E. and Margaret W. Orr Award recognizes contributions to the literature on fractures and failure investigations. 5:15pm - 6:15pm Applied Mechanics Division Koiter Lecture Sponsored by Applied Mechanics Division Topic: Testing and Modeling Fiber Composites Using Off-Axis Specimens Speaker: Professor C.T.
