Since its inception in 1939, the purpose of the SAWE has been to promote the exchange of technical information and new ideas in Mass Properties Engineering. The SAWE International Conference is the annual meeting that brings together mass properties professionals from throughout the world. These dedicated men and women work in close cooperation with and address the needs of industry, government, and other engineering and manufacturing organizations. The 2010 Technical Tracks are a result of input from these mass properties professionals with the combined efforts of the International Officers, the 2010 conference committee, and the Technical Committee.
We, as engineering professionals, again have the opportunity to learn firsthand about important initiatives, research, and the latest developments in our discipline through specialized technical tracks and discussions. Since ours is a community of practicing engineers as well as a unique engineering discipline, this interchange is a special opportunity for all of those who participate. We especially encourage young engineers to take the opportunity to learn directly from more experienced peers and colleagues. This conference is a forum for individual presentations and panel discussions on applied mass properties technology for the design, manufacturing, testing, and utilization of air, land, sea, and space vehicles and their associated systems/ subsystems.
The first and third days of the conference will consist of eight different technical discussion tracks. The supplier exposition again offers all attendees the opportunity to view new products, technology, and processes firsthand. This conference is the only one of its kind in the industry and always provides the opportunity for broadened personal contact with other members of the profession and leaders in industry and government(s).
