A Note From the Technical Director

Technical Excellence Committee and the Emerging Technologies Task Force
During the past two years, SAMPE North America's Board of Directors has become increasingly more strategic
in looking forward to SAMPE's technological future. The BOD meetings have taken on a much more proactive
direction in defining and mapping out strategic plans for assuring that the Society maintains its leading edge.
As an example, BOD members initially participated in an active training session on how to identify key areas
of technologies that may well be important to our future. The members then divided into several tables and
each table defined what they felt were leading edge technologies that needed future attention. During this first
round a number of technologies were identified and ranked according to the number of votes assigned by the
BOD members overall.
As a result of that initial process, the Technical Excellence Committee, under the guidance of Ted Lynch,
formed a team to look at the chosen top three technology areas: Additive Manufacturing, High Temperature
Composite Structures and Aerospace Quality with
Automotive Efficiency. The goal of that committee was
to support upcoming conferences with technical papers,
tutorials, panels, featured speakers and "white papers"
for the SAMPE Journal. The committee was formed and
staffed with volunteers who then took a very active part
in supporting the CAMX 2015 and SAMPE Long Beach
2016 events by assuring that several of those areas were
covered. In addition, you will find a White Paper on the
"Next Generation of High Temperature Materials" in this
particular Journal issue.

The next step was for the North America BOD to address "how" SAMPE would continue to move forward in
assuring leadership in a number of these identified technology areas. As a result of additional strategic planning
by the BOD members, a series of "roadmap" discussions were undertaken in a separate off-site meeting by BOD
volunteers which continued the process forward. One of the three Task Forces that resulted from two days of
extensive workshop engagement was the Emerging Technologies Task Force chaired by Dr. Bob Yancey. His
task force was staffed very quickly with volunteers and joined forces with the Technical Excellence Committee
to assure continued forward motion.
As a result the combined groups looked at the next level of "key technology areas" for addition to the original
three currently being pursued by Ted Lynch's committee. These turned out to be: Recycling, Energy and
Alternative Energy, Thermoplastics and Design/Analysis/Simulation Modeling. These areas are now being
incorporated in developing technology aspects within the CAMX 2016 (Anaheim) and SAMPE Seattle 2017
program events. What this does is to provide the sponsoring SAMPE chapter committees with additional,
broad-based support in pursuing and adding in key technology areas to the program event. As a result, SAMPE
has a broader group of technical experts and volunteers assisting in being "forward looking at leading edge
technologies."
