SAT TC in Context

The Role of a TC (from TC Chair Training)• Add value for AIAA Members, the Institute, and the Aerospace Industry• Support AIAA Vision, Mission, and Strategic Plan• Represent Technical Area for and on behalf of AIAA• Reach out to/Coordinate with appropriate TCs, PCs, and Standing

Committees of AIAA Develop synergistic activities (e.g. Conferences, Working Groups, etc.)

• Solicit Regional / Local Involvement

SAT TC in Context

The Role of a TC (from AIAA Website)AIAA Technical Committees (TCs) bring together experts in their fields and given them the opportunity to exchange knowledge and get to know their colleagues from around the globe. These committees participate in numerous activities: they develop and administer over 20 technical conferences each year; conduct professional development courses, produce books, and work with K-12 students to promote an interest in engineering education. And that’s just the start. The TCs also honor technical leadership through Technical and Best Paper awards; serve as journal and book reviewers; formulate technology assessment packages for the non-technical public, and even develop and judge college student design contests.

• Future Delta Forum Rotation Delta Forum is a panel session on an ETM-related topic

held twice per year, at ASM and Space 20XX. Starting at ASM 2013, Delta Forum will take new direction:

– Delta Forum coordination responsibility will be rotated among the ETM TCs, starting with ECONTC at ASM 2013.

– Vice-chair will be assigned from the TC with responsibility for the following year’s Delta Forum.

– Chosen topics will have relevance to each TC, and each TC will have a role and representation on the Delta Forum panel.

– Chosen topics will have relevance to previous or future CASE conference.

• Future Conference Consolidation Efforts

19

Conf. Model Description

Current • Current portfolio with minor change, e.g., some co-location

Consolidated • Current larger Events (ASM, Fluids, JPC, Space, GNC, SDM) plus Aviation and Defense as centers of gravity for consolidating smaller conferences

• Augment with systems development/integration elements

Integrated • Comprehensive, domain-focused Events providing integrated content • ~4 Events spread over the year: R&D, Aviation, Space, and Defense

Unified • Multi-domain, unified Events split between R&D and Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (SEIT)

• One big Event for R&D (winter) and one for SEIT/programs (summer) and a smaller Defense conference

Conference Models Currently Under Consideration


• TC Membership Young Professional Challenge TAC has challenged the TCs to increase young professional

participation on each TC and has set a goal of 5 YPs for each TC.

• Engineers as Educators Workshop Wednesday, January 11, 1900-2200 hrs in Lincoln A Register (for free) at http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?
