Inspire Innovation Workshop: Engineering in the Classroom A FREE Hands-On Workshop for K-12 Teachers and Engineers 8:00am - 12:00pm Featuring...hands-on classroom activities developed by educators and engineers! This workshop is designed to bring K-12 educators together with engineers. Join us as we bring science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to life for students. Groups of teachers will be matched with engineers to work on lessons incorporating engineering applications for math, science and social studies classes. Fun and Creative Activities Include: Spuds in Space: Engineering with Potatoes!! Balloon Blast Off: Engineering with Balloons!! Designing Bridges with a Purpose!! Standards aligned material will include concepts and activities in Physical Science, Math and Social Studies. Teachers will receive FREE Instructional Materials, including lesson plans and DVDs for classroom use! Get Professional Development or In-Service Points Registration is easy and there is NO FEE, but SPACE IS LIMITED. Please REGISTER EARLY! To register, simply email: kudlise@asme.org   Old Guard Oral Presentation Competition - Society Finals! 9:00am - 5:00pm Sponsored by the Old Guard Committee All are invited to attend the finals of the Society-wide Old Guard Oral Presentation Competition. Come listen to and meet engineering students who have successfully competed at their universities, at the ASME Student Professional Development Conferences (SPDC's), and are now vying for the $2,000 ASME Old Guard 1st Place Prize for outstanding presentation skills. Like all effective professionals, engineers must possess a well-developed ability to synthesize issues and communicate both orally and in writing. This competition is designed to emphasize the value of an ability to deliver clear, concise and effective oral presentations, particularly pertaining to some sphere in which an engineer is or should be involved. Presentation topics must address a technical, economic or environmental aspect of engineering or other basic engineering theme, and often relate to the students' engineering design/analysis projects.

Robert Henry Thurston Lecture 10:00am - 12:00pm Sponsored by the Basic Group Speaker: Huagian Gao, Ph.D. Presentation: “Nanomechanics of Biological Systems- What can We Learn from Nature about the Mechanical Principles of Hierarchical Materials”   THE ROBERT HENRY THURSTON LECTURE AWARD was established in 1925 in honor of ASME’s first president. It provides an opportunity for a leader in pure and/or applied science or engineering to present to the Society a lecture that encourages stimulating thinking on a subject of broad interest to engineers. The Robert Henry Thurston Lecture Award was elevated to a Society award in 2000.   Department Heads Forum 1:30pm- 3:30pm The Department Heads Forum is an annual event at the ASME Congress for mechanical engineering and mechanical engineering technology department heads. The forum is a chance to learn about some of the latest research funding developments, curricular innovations, accreditation issues, and upcoming ASME Center for Education activities

Symposium for New and Prospective Faculty “Tips for Tenure and Promotion” 8:30am - 12:00noon Organizer: Dr. Hakan Gurocak, Washington State University Vancouver Sponsored by the Mechanical Engineering Department Heads Committee The target audience is new and prospective faculty, including graduate students and those from research labs and industry. Department heads and early career faculty will discuss tips for tenure and promotion in teaching, service/outreach, and scholarship at institutions that focus on both research and teaching. Department heads, deans and faculty will also provide tips on obtaining research funding and securing a faculty position. A division director from National Science Foundation will address current funding opportunities. ASME GENERAL SESSION: Lamborghini Unveils /Murciélago //LP 670-4/ -One of the Great Sports Cars Engineered to Perfection 9:45am- 11:00am Northern Hemisphere BCD/Fifth Floor Polymer composites have been in use at Automobili Lamborghini since 1983, and since 2001 carbon-fiber composites have been used in the production of all body panels and portions of the "spaceframe" structure of the Murcielago. Carbon-fiber composites allow an increase in the power-to-weight ratio of the vehicle, enabling a reduction in overall weight while reducing emissions to meet stringent environmental regulations. Current efforts at Lamborghini to produce composite-intensive structures that meet cost and rate requirements include the evaluation of existing out-of-autoclave technologies and their modification to suit Lamborghini's needs. To evaluate the role of composite structures in automobile production, Lamborghini applies the Building Block Approach, derived from the aerospace industry, in which certification is achieved through a complex mix of testing and analysis. Micro & Nano Technology Society-Wide Forum 12:00pm- 3:00pm Sponsored by ASME K&C and Institutes Sectors Micro- and nano-scale phenomena and processes are widely explored across many ASME divisions to create new applications and to improve the existing engineering systems. This forum seeks to bring together ASME members and others from different disciplines/divisions with a focus on micro and nanotechnology. All the posters presented at the forum will be eligible for the Best Poster Awards. The members of the Award Selection Panel are leaders from academia, industry, and government funding agencies. Each award recipient will receive a certificate signed by the ASME President, and their research will be featured in the ASME flagship magazine Mechanical Engineering. Celebratory Session in Honor of Professor Yogesh Jaluria’s 60th Birthday 4:30pm – 6:00pm Reception to follow: 6:00pm - 7:30pm Session Organizers: Wilson K. S. Chiu, University of Connecticut; Ralph Greif, University of California Berkeley; M. Khairul Alam, Ohio University Sponsored by: ASME Heat Transfer Division's K-15 Technical Committee on Transport Phenomena in Manufacturing and Materials Processing This celebratory session will honor Professor Yogesh Jaluria on his 60th birthday. Professor Jaluria has been extremely active and has made substantial contributions in the field of heat transfer, while providing significant leadership through his participation in executive and organizational committees for ASME and various conferences, and current editor of the ASME Journal of Heat Transfer. During the celebratory session, leading workers in heat transfer will speak about the latest discoveries and Professor Jaluria's contributions in the field. A reception will immediately follow. Rayleigh Lecture 3:00pm- 4:30pm Northern Hemisphere A-3 Reception to follow 4:30pm- 7:00pm Northern Hemisphere A-3 Global Attenuation of Acoustic Fields Using Energy-Based Active Control Techniques Dr. Scott Sommerfeldt Dean, Physics and Astronomy Brigham Young University The Rayleigh Lecture Award is given in recognition of presenting the Rayleigh Lecture at the annual ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. Lecturers are selected among those who have made pioneering contributions to the sciences and applications of noise control and acoustics.
