The Design Division and Management Division of ASME have teamed up to offer a special track of Technology Transfer tutorials during National Manufacturing Week, March 18-21 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

The hour-long tutorials will be held Monday, March 18, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Two tutorials are offered during each hour session; attendees will choose one to attend.

These tutorials will be given by select engineering experts representing academia, industry and government agencies, and will address several topics in design and manufacturing. Registration is required for all sessions. The cost of registration, which includes complimentary admission to the National Manufacturing Week Expo, is $60 for one session, $120 for all sessions.

The first sessions, from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., are: "Geometric Tolerances: What They Are and a New Mathematical Perspective," chaired by Joe Davidson of Arizona State University; and "Voice of the Customer: NVH Case Studies," chaired by Bappaditya Banerjee of Caterpillar Inc.

The 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. sessions are: "Robust Design," chaired by Jack Feng of Bradley University, and "Test Analysis Correlation and Design Optimization," chaired by Clay Fulcher and Tom Paez of Sandia National Labs.

Scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. are "Statistical Quality Control Using Double Sampling Control Charts," with David He of the University of Illinois, Chicago, and "Implementation Strategy for Real-Time Demand," with Richard Lebovitz of Factory Logic.

Sessions from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. are "Design for Assembly: Controlling Factory Costs During Design," chaired by Brad Parker of Ray-theon, and "Project Engineering/ Management Fundamentals," chaired by Tom Davis of the ASME Management Committee.

From 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., attendees can choose from "Design and Analysis for Optimizing Manufacturing Processes," with Mark Fleming of CNH Global, or "Personal Finance for Engineers," with Tom Libertiny of Raymond James & Associates Inc.

The final two sessions, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., are "Life Cycle Engineering," chaired by Mahendra Hundal of the University of Vermont, and "Industry Advances in Design Safety," chaired by Wayne Christensen of the Institute for Safety through Design and Bruce Main of Design Safety Engineering Inc.

Monday evening at 7 o'clock, the Design Division and the Chicago Section will sponsor a dinner. During this event, John Wesner, a senior lecturer at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, will give an address. His speech, "Design for X? What is Design for X?," will describe the challenge of communicating 40 years of industrial experience to beginning engineers at Carnegie-Mellon.

Registration for the dinner is $25 and must be received by March 12. To register, call (800) THE-ASME.
