The Computers and Information in Engineering Division (CIE) celebrates its 25th Anniversary in 2005

During the 2005 IDETC/CIE Conferences, the CIE Division will host a celebration of its 25th Anniversary and hold the 25th CIE Conference in Long Beach, California from September 25th through 28th, 2005.

We'd like to invite you to participate in the activities currently planned for the 25th Anniversary:

  • 25 Years of CIE Publications: By Long Beach, the CIE will have published over 3400 papers at its conferences during the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and in the JCISE - we want CIE to get credit for these papers and to actually make them available and searchable online @ ASME; if you have expertise in (or know of) cost-effective scanning & OCR and want to be involved in this effort, we'd like to hear from you.
  • History and Perspective: Please browse through our photos of CIE conferences that date back to 1990 - we need more - please e-mail us if you have more photos to contribute and these will be brought up to the division web site to illustrate where we've been. We're also organizing a CIE Division Chairs' Reunion and want your help.
  • Computational Futures: We think we know where we've been. We also want to think broadly and forecast where computing as applied to mechanical systems is going. If you know, we'll be needing you.
  • 125th ASME - 25th CIE: In addition to CIE's 25th Anniversary, the ASME is celebrating its 125th - The CIE Division's genesis arose from efforts ASME's 100th Anniversary: the Century 2 - Emerging Technology Conferences. We'll be having a party and we want to make it especially memorable with you there too!
  • Computing Fun: Remember card decks, PDP-11s, Altairs, and core memories? How about early CAD systems such as CADAM and light pens? We're looking to put together a contest to show how computing in mechanical engineering used to be done and the challenges involved. If you'd like to help, please get in touch.
To get involved in planning and developing the 25th Anniversary activities, please e-mail the 25th CIE Celebration Chair today!
