Noise
Control and Acoustics (NCA), an original forum
whose seeds were planted at the ASME Winter Annual Meeting
(WAM) in December 1979, was officially approved as a national
Group on March 16, 1980. On November 19, 1981, less than two
years later, during the WAM at Washington, D.C., NCA attained
full Division status in the ASME technical family. NCA is
the 32nd Technical Division of the ASME. It is
part of the Council of Engineering's Environment and Transportation
Technical Group. Other Divisions in the Group include Aerospace,
Rail Transportation, Environmental Control, and Solid Waste
Processing.
The general objective of the NCA Division
is to establish a program within ASME which will encourage,
focus and further the development and application of noise
control and acoustics principles to mechanical engineering.
The Division intends to serve its members who represent
various disciplines within ASME as well as other organizations.
The program will also provide a balance between the theoretical
studies of acoustics and its applications in terms of noise
control engineering.
The NCA Division is managed by an executive
and general committee. The latter is further divided into
administrative and technical committees. The technical committees
represent the many interests of mechanical engineers in
the field of noise control and acoustics, and are crucial
to the long range success of the Division.
