The graphic shows the current slate of ASM technical committees and new committees on the way. The ASM Core and Emerging Technologies Council, chaired by Steven M. Arnold, FASM, NASA, provides oversight on behalf of the ASM Board of Trustees and helps foster the organization and startup of new committees. Several new technical committees have launched within the past two years. Two new committees are being organized. If you are interested in joining an existing ASM technical committee or starting a new one, contact Scott Henry, scott.henry@asminternational.org. Advanced Manufacturing ASM Past President William Frazier, FASM, Pilgrim Consulting LLC, is leading the organizing efforts for this committee, which will focus on new and enhanced materials process technologies needed to realize the promise of Industry 4.0. It will address crosscutting issues such as materials mechanisms that tailor material properties and performance characteristics; processing path dependency of microstructure and properties; availability and use of data and analytics; and issues related to the development, acceptance, and broad-based application of new processing technologies. The committee will work to expand ASM conference programming, education courses, publications, and datasets and will seek to coordinate with U.S. and international advanced manufacturing institutes. Sustainable Materials Engineering John Wolodko, FASM, University of Alberta, has proposed a committee to respond to the growing global interest in sustainability driven by changes in government policy, consumer demand, and corporations rethinking their strategic direction. The materials sector will play a critical role over the next decade in providing material solutions to reduce a variety of environmental and socioeconomic impacts including the reduction of carbon emissions, improvement of renewable energy platforms for electricity generation, storage, and transportation (e.g., electric vehicles), and reduction of materials waste (improved recycling/ reuse/biodegradability). The committee will work on conference programming and education offerings, and support student outreach in coordination with the ASM Materials Education Foundation.
