The Internal Combustion Engine Division of the ASME is pleased to announce the details of its upcoming 2011 Fall Technical Conference to be held October 2 - 5, 2011 in Morgantown, West Virginia and hosted by West Virginia University. The technical program includes the following:

• Around 100 technical papers presented by leading researchers in the field.
• Keynote address by Professor Nigel Clark (West Virginia University) discussing the development of internal combustion engines in the face of societal pressures.
• A free workshop (to registered conference participants) conducted by the Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines, and Emission of West Virginia University on Advances in Tailpipe Sensors.
• A panel composed of leading alternative fuel researchers discussing the future directions of alternative fuels and their impact on internal combustion engines.
• Presentations delivered by three undergraduate student engine enthusiasts who competed through an international competition to attend and participate in the conference for free.
• Technical tours of West Virginia University's Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines, and Emission Laboratories.

In addition to the technically rich environment, the conference offers a small but collegial atmosphere for networking, vibrant discussions, and enthusiastic collaborations to advance the science and art of the internal combustion engine. Reduced registration fees for students offer employers a unique opportunity to recruit next-generation experts to their organizations.

Registration is now open with early-bird registration rates available until September 1, 2011.
