AGMA February 24-26, 2016 Sheraton Sand Key Resort, Clearwater Beach, FL The design of an optimum gear set requires the coordinated effort of the gear design engineer, the gear metallurgist, and the bearing system engineer. The instructors of this course are a gear design engineer and a metallurgist who have worked collaboratively on projects for more than 40 years. Learn the roles of each of these professionals and how collaborative efforts can provide better outcomes. Additional information on gear-related problems, failures, and improved processing procedures will be reviewed.

AGMA
Each year, the Fall Technical Meeting (FTM) provides an outstanding opportunity to share ideas with others in the gear industry on design, analysis, manufacturing and application of gears, gear drives and related products, as well as associated processes and procedures. Authors have the opportunity to present the results of their work to an audience of knowledgeable professionals from the United States and around the world, and to participate in discussions with that audience. Papers should be original to the AGMA audience (not a previously published paper), technically accurate, relevant, and free of commercialism.

Manufacturing.net NASA opened its astronaut-application website Monday and is accepting applications through Feb. 18.Contenders need to be U.S. citizens with a bachelor's degree in science, math or engineering. Expect intense competition: More than 6,000 Americans applied for NASA's last astronaut class in 2013, with only eight picked. After all, it's an elite club, numbering only in the 300s since its inception.

Composite Manufacturing Magazine Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering and Clemson University announced last week they have developed a hybrid "4-D printed" composite material that can reconfigure itself multiple times into different shapes when exposed to different light and/or heat. According to the researchers, the real significance of the work is that they designed "a single composite that creates access to a range of dynamic responses and structures."

Composite Manufacturing Magazine GE Aviation recently announced that testing is underway on the first demonstration core for the GE9X engine that will power the Boeing 777X aircraft. The GE9X engine contains several unique technologies and advanced material in the core: including a combustor with 3-D printed fuel nozzle tips and a new combustor dome design, as well as an ultra-lightweight, heat-resistant ceramic matrix composite (CMC) inner and outer liners.

Automation World For years now there has been lots of discussion — and action — around promoting STEM careers and generally boosting the idea of getting kids interested in an industrial career of one sort or another. Though major strides have been made in this area, few would say there isn’t much work that remains to be done. The reason: Technically-oriented young people still tend to gravitate more toward consumer technology companies when thinking about careers.
