HIGHLIGHTS ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | JULY/AUGUST 2023 65 Nominations Sought for 2024 ASM/TMS Distinguished Lectureship in Materials & Society Nominations are currently being accepted for the ASM/ TMS Distinguished Lectureship in Materials & Society. The lecture was established in 1971 and is jointly sponsored by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) and ASM International. The topic of the lecture shall fall within these objectives: • To clarify the role of materials science and engineering in technology and in society in its broadest sense. • To present an evaluation of progress made in developing new technology for the ever-changing needs of technology and society. • To define new frontiers for materials science and engineering. Qualifications of the lecturer include: • A person experienced in national or industrial policymaking in the field of materials science and engineering. • An eminent individual who has an overview of technology and society in which technology and society are affected by development in materials science and engineering. • A person associated with government, industry, research, or education. Nominations may be proposed by any member of either Society. Submit your nominations by September 1 for consideration. Recommendations should be submitted to the headquarters of either Society.

Education Courses The Mechanical Testing of Metals course returns to ASM headquarters. After undergoing a substantial update, the course had a successful relaunch in June, with a sold-out class and will also be offered in September and December. This course is a hands-on introduction to standard mechanical testing and the properties derived from those tests, together with a discussion of testing philosophy to determine suitability for service and suitability for manufacture. For more information, visit bit.ly/3qUHOOn. ASM is offering a new self-guided digital short course, Failure Analysis: Fatigue Failures, which uses helpful visuals, narrated animations, and interactive quizzes to teach fatigue failure, fracture due to cyclic stresses or strains below the tensile strength. This course is suitable for engineers and technicians from all sectors who wish to learn the fundamentals or refresh their knowledge and understanding of fatigue failures and their characteristics, fatigue testing, and designing for fatigue.
