Fourth JSME/ASME International Conference on Materials and Processing (ICM&P)
The Materials and Processing Division (MPD) of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineering (JSME) and The Manufacturing Engineering Division (MED) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) are pleased to co-sponsor the 2011 JSME/ASME International Conference on Materials and Processing (ICM&P). This year in combining with the Society of Manufacturing Engineers’ (SME) North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC), ICM&P will be the premiere venue for the dissemination of manufacturing research.
Join colleagues discussing research across a wide range of materials, processes and manufacturing systems topics. This year’s conference will emphasize the innovation role of manufacturing and its importance to economic development. Workshops will focus on new market opportunities in clean energy, health care and transportation enabled by arrayed microchannel manufacturing and recent developments in reducing the cost, carbon footprint and worker exposure for nanomanufacturing in applications including microelectronics and solar cell manufacturing among others. Industry speakers and panels will discuss issues and trends in transportation, clean energy, and sustainability.
The conference will be punctuated with student design competitions, student paper competitions, an early research career workshop and a manufacturing engineering education panel. Results of recent US manufacturing policy development efforts by ASME will be presented for engagement and feedback. Come network and meet new colleagues and participate in advancing the impact of the manufacturing engineering community on the global economy.
Dates: June 13-17, 2011
Location: Corvallis, Oregon, United States
