INSPIRING LEGACY A s the materials world mourns the recent passing of George Dieter, Jr., FASM, professor emeritus at the Uni- versity of Maryland, his ASM family remembers the impact the industry legend had on somany lives, careers, and multiple disciplines. Referencing his fundamental book Mechanical Met- allurgy, Peg Jones, FASM, recalls, “We used a text simply referred to as ‘Dieter’ in one of my foundational undergrad courses that helped to establish the compass heading for my career.” More tributes are shared on pages 40-41 and Dieter’s illus trious ca- reer is described on the In Memoriampage in ASMNews. It is obvious that his con- nection with an ASM network of friends and colleagues was an important part of his career and life and vice versa. It is also striking that Professor Dieter’s impact was not limited to metallur- gical or mechanical engineering. With his keen intellect and intuitiveness, Dieter saw the need for designers to have access to materials and processing informa- tion to do their jobs well. As a result, he built a bridge between materials science and design with his text Engineering Design and through his leadership role in the development of ASM Handbook, Vol. 20, Materials Selection and Design. The link he formed between those disciplines continues to this day. Now our field is seeing another bridge erected—this one between materials science and data—with ASM and its members playing a key role in this emerging area. In our lead article, Elizabeth Holm, FASM, and team detail how comput- er vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) can be used in tandem to provide de- tailed data about micrographs. The resulting data provides a complete analysis including image classification and other characterization information. Starting on page 13, read how the use of CV and ML complements traditional image analy- sis methods. In related news, our Society already has several data ecosystem projects that are rapidly moving forward to respond to member and industry needs in this growing area. Other Societal initiatives are described in the “ASM Progress Report” in this issue, provided by Diana Essock, FASM. Our current ASM presi- dent walks us through the organization’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including changes to staff operations, membership interactions, and delivery of products and services. The focus involves a switch to virtual offerings initially, followed by a transition to hybrid models. She also outlines the Board-led Task Forces that are key to advancing ASM’s strategic goals in this new environment. Directly related to the Task Force on Diversity/Equity/Inclusion is the newly formed IDEA Committee. You can read an update on their activities and future plans in the ASM News section. Immediately following that column is a message showing how you can “Get Engaged, Get Involved, Get Connected.” You may see similar messages throughout the year as a welcoming invitation to participate in your Society. We hope you will join in and help move ASM forward. It’s one of the many ways we can carry on George Dieter’s legacy: by get- ting engaged, involved, and connected; by working with passion and excellence; by mentoring and coaching the next generation of engineers; and by continuing work that bridges materials science to other disciplines. joanne.miller@asminternational.org
