The Society of Allied Weight Engineers (SAWE) goals are to promote mass properties engineering as a specialized discipline and to provide a means for those interested in mass properties engineering to work together to further their professional goals. Since it's inception in 1939, the SAWE has grown to include 22 chapters located in the United States, Canada, Central Europe, and the United Kingdom and has members from over 22 countries. The Society promotes technical interchange between it members through international and regional conferences, the Weight Engineering Journal, specialized training, technical papers and a growing number of professional publications.

Journal Cover Material Needed

We are running very short of cover photographs for the cover of Weight Engineering, the Journal of the SAWE.

We have used aircraft photos on the last three issues and need to have some variety, i.e., ships, rockets, satellites, ground vehicles, etc.

Each photo should be accompanied by a short (one paragraph) write-up to go on the Table of Contents page. If you wish, a longer article on the subject of the photograph can be sent to be used in the Journal.

We will consider all contributions. Thanks for your help.

Publications for SAWE Press Releases and Communication

We are in the process of assembling a comprehensive list of technical publications to which the SAWE could send press releases for training, new handbooks and textbooks, articles, and advertising our conferences.

We would very much appreciate any input you might have to the list. Please send the publication name and an e-mail address or web address that can be used to contact the publication. Please send your inputs ASAP using the publications contact form.
