2011 AAAS
Engineering Section Meeting
Friday February 18, 2011
Renaissance Downtown
Hotel,
Washington, DC
Rooms 12 & 13
MINUTES
1. Introductions: Duncan Moore, Section Chair, called the meeting to
order at 9:15 AM. He asked those present
to introduce themselves. The attendance list is included in Appendix A.
2. Before
getting into the agenda items, Ian King (AAAS Director of Marketing) joined our
meeting to talk about the AAAS MemberCentral new
website and Nina Fedoroff (AAAS President-Elect) to
talk about the theme of the 2012 AAAS Annual Meeting.
2.1. AAAS Member Central: Ian King, AAAS
Director of Marketing, discussed a new website that has been launched by AAAS
called MemberCentral. There is a link to this website
on the main AAAS website and is password protected. Ian explained that this website will include
webinars, blogs, and career issues tailored to members of AAAS. He mentioned that AAAS wants to work with the
sections to include issues of specific interest to them such as a speaker
series similar to TED talks, online Q&A sessions, and ways to connect the
members of the section to the section officers.
He encouraged everyone to contact him at iking@aaas.org
with ideas and suggestions.
2.2. 2012 AAAS Annual Meeting: Dr. Nina Fedoroff, AAAS President-Elect and Chair of the 2012
Program Committee joined our business meeting for a brief period of time and
gave an introduction to the theme for the 2012 AAAS Annual Meeting to be held
in Vancouver, Canada, February 16-20, 2012. The theme is “Flattening the
World: Building the 21st Century Global Knowledge Society”. Dr. Fedoroff noted
that the theme considers many of the issues that face our global society:
climate change, energy, agriculture, health, water, biodiversity and
ecosystems, population growth and economic development. She emphasized that these issues are global
in scope and profoundly interconnected.
She added that the engineering section is central to the 2012 theme and
encouraged our section to submit proposals that relate to the theme of the
meeting. The deadline for submission is Tuesday April 26, 2011, 11:59pm,
PT. The submission website is www.aaas.org/meetings. Decisions will
be announced in late June.
2. Approval
of Minutes: Dr. Moore asked for comments and possible changes to the draft
minutes of the Section Business Meeting held on February 19, 2010 at the San
Diego Meeting. The draft minutes were posted on the Section website http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/aaas-m
shortly after the 2010 San Diego meeting.
Copies of the draft minutes were also distributed at the meeting. There were no comments made or changes
suggested. A motion was made and
seconded to approve the minutes. The
motion passed unanimously.
3. Announcements: Dr. Moore announced that John L. Anderson
(Illinois Institute of Technology) has been elected Chair-Elect and J. Gary
Eden (University of Illinois @ Urbana Champaign) has been elected
Member-at-Large of the Engineering Section’s Steering Group both effective
February 22, 2011. He also announced
that Sarah A. Rajala (Mississippi State University)
and Margaret Murnane (University of Colorado,
Boulder) have been elected to the Engineering Section Electorate Nominating
Committee. Dr. Moore thanked all the
officers whose terms ended after this Annual Meeting: Robert Nerem as retiring Chair, Deborah Neimeier
as Member-at-Large, and Kristi S. Anseth and Cindy
Atman as members of the Electorate Nominating Committee. On February 22, 2011
Dr. Moore will become the retiring Chair and in that capacity he will serve on
the AAAS Council also he will Chair the Electorate Nominating Committee. The 2011-12 Steering Group for our section is
shown in Appendix B.
Dr. Moore also announced that our section currently
has 3415 primary members and that in December 2010 we have elected 51 members
of our section as Fellows of AAAS out of a total of 503 newly elected Fellows
for the entire AAAS. A list of the names
of the new Engineering Section Fellows was distributed at the meeting and is
attached as Appendix C. The Newly
elected Fellows were invited to attend our business meeting and 13 of the
51were able to attend. Dr. Moore welcomed them, and thanked them for attending
the meeting. He also encouraged the new
Fellows to be active in the section.
4. Fellow
Nomination Process: Dr. Moore asked Marwan Simaan, the section secretary to
review the AAAS Fellow nomination process which is the same as in previous
years. There are three ways a candidate can be nominated: By a member of the
Steering Group (method 1), by a group of three Fellows (method 2), and by the
AAAS Chief Executive Officer (method 3).
For Fellow nominations by members of the Steering
Group (method 1), he mentioned that each nomination must include a completed
Fellow nomination form and either a letter of recommendation by the nominator
or a detailed C.V. with a list of publications (although a C.V. is an essential
piece of the required documentation). He
encouraged members of the Steering Group to submit both. He mentioned that for the upcoming
nomination cycle, these materials should be mailed to him so that he receives
it no later than March 18, 2011. Marwan
will then forward the materials for all nominees to the AAAS Executive Office,
on April 1, 2011. Information on the
nomination process by a group of three Fellows (method 2) and a copy of the
nomination form can be found on the AAAS main website. A link to that website can also be found on
our section Website (http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/aaas-m). Dr. Simaan also mentioned that the deadline
for Fellow nominations by a group of three Fellows is April 20, 2011. By May 18, 2011 all members of the Steering
Group will receive from Kelly O’Brien at the AAAS Executive Office copies of
the nomination materials for all nominees, including those nominated by a group
of three Fellows, and by the Chief Executive Officer. They will also receive a voting sheet that
they will need to fill and return to him by June 29, 2011. Marwan will then forward all votes to the
Executive Office. By August 31, 2011
the Executive Office will mail a slate of all approved nominees to the Council
for formal election.
Dr. Simaan mentioned that the number of Fellows
elected through nominations by the Steering Group is subject to a section quota
(0.4% of the section membership) which equals 14 for this year (there is no
quota for those elected through nominations by three Fellows or by the Chief
Executive Officer). He also mentioned
that in all three methods, a successful candidate must receive no less than five
yes votes and no more than two no votes.
Our representatives on AAAS Council, Gail Marcus and
James Merz, mentioned that council is currently
examining the Fellow election process and asked for any ideas or concerns that
the attendees might have so that they can bring them up at the Sunday morning
Council meeting.
At the end, the ideas were grouped into seven
important topics that would encompass many symposia that could be planned and
sponsored by our section. A summary of
these topics is given below.
5.1 Proposed
Title: Global Earth Observations-Society Benefits
Proposed by: Russell Lefevre
(r.lefevre@ieee.org) University of North Dakota
Description: The Group on
Earth Observations (GEO) is coordinating efforts to build a Global Earth
Observation System of Systems, or GEOSS to collect all earth observation data
in a common data base.
GEO is a voluntary
partnership of governments and international organizations. It provides a
framework within which these partners can develop new projects and coordinate
their strategies and investments. As of October 2010, GEO’s Members include 85
Governments and the European Commission. In addition, 61 intergovernmental,
international, and regional organizations with a mandate in Earth observation
or related issues have been recognized as Participating Organizations.
GEO is constructing GEOSS on
the basis of a 10-Year Implementation Plan for the period 2005 to 2015. The
Plan defines a vision statement for GEOSS, its purpose and scope, expected
benefits, and the nine “Societal Benefit Areas” of disasters, health, energy,
climate, water, weather, ecosystems, agriculture and biodiversity.
GEOSS will yield a broad
range of societal benefits, notably:
• Reducing loss of life and
property from natural and human-induced disasters;
• Understanding
environmental factors affecting human health and well-being,
• Improving the management
of energy resources,
• Understanding, assessing,
predicting, mitigating, and adapting to climate variability and change,
• Improving water resource
management through better understanding of the water cycle,
• Improving weather
information, forecasting and warning,
• Improving the management
and protection of terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems,
• Supporting sustainable
agriculture and combating desertification, and
• Understanding, monitoring
and conserving biodiversity.

5.2 Proposed Title: Is there Life Beyond
Moore’s Law?
Proposed by Sankar Basu (sabasu@nsf.gov) and Robert Trew
(rtrew@nsf.gov), National Science Foundation.
Description: Digital electronics is a
major driver of the modern economy, and have accounted for a large proportion
of the productivity gains that have characterized the US and global economy
since the mid-1990s. Recent advances in this area have been fueled by what is
colloquially known as Moore’s Law scaling that has successfully predicted the
exponential increase in the performance of computing machines for the last 40
years. This gain has been achieved due to increasing miniaturization (“smaller
and faster”) of tiny switches (“transistors”), literally billions of which make
up the guts of today’s computing machine. However, since due to rapid
miniaturization, the physical size of these devices are now reaching atomic
dimensions, it is widely believed that further progress will be stalled by
limits imposed by the fundamental physics [ITRS Roadmap, 2009]. One of the many
impediments to progress in this area has been that nano-scale
switching devices cannot be systematically arranged, organized, and
interconnected by conventional technological means to orchestrate a useful
computational architecture. To take computing power and communications beyond
Moore’s Law would require entirely new scientific, engineering, and conceptual
frameworks.
Fundamental research across disciplines
involving electrical engineers, computer scientists, chemists, physicists,
material scientists, and biologists would be needed during the coming decades
to combat this technological bottleneck and economic slowdown resulting from
it. The problem is further compounded by the fact that recent data reveals [1]
that the US seems to be rapidly losing ground in international competition in
this area. The symposium will attempt to focus on the multidisciplinary nature
of the scientific problem in the context of global economy. There has been
considerable discussion of these issues in various technical forums (see e.g.,
[1], [2] below) that will be sources of the material and the speakers for the
proposed symposium.

5.3 Proposed Title: Energy: resources, climate change and economics
Proposed by
Leonard J. Bond (leonard.bond@pnl.gov), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Description: There is a complex set of competing demands when energy, water,
food and mineral resources intersect. The growing population of the planet is
increasing demands for all resources needed to meet even the most basic levels
of sustainable human life. With many in developing countries seeing a more
equal share of global resources business as usual will simply not meet the
demands of exploding numbers of people in developing countries. The USA
currently uses 25% of global resources to meet the needs of just 5% of global
population – given that much of the resources come from outside the USA as
others seek more the USA can expect to maintain energy and resource security. Domestic
sources must become the norm and innovation will be needed. Business as usual
will not meet the aspirations of the global population – including people who
reside in North America.
The symposium would seek
look at options and opportunities for scientific and engineering activities to
bring the energy, and related water and resource systems into a sustainable
system, while at the same time understand the impacts on climate change and
food supply. Speakers would be asked to look at the next 10, 25 and 50 years.
Energy – a limited resource: A speaker (potentially Dr Anthony Janetos) – Joint Global Change Research Institute,
University of Maryland – will present various energy – resource scenarios. The Center at UM is partially sponsored by
PNNL – he is also a PNNL Laboratory Fellow.
Energy options and impacts: The USA lacks an Energy Policy. Speakers
to inform the discussion. The USA energy scene is REACTIVE (it let
industry meet the demand) – but without an energy policy there is a real risk
of supply failures. Investments are needed in generation and the US
distribution grid: Several speakers looking at the complex relationships
between wand, solar, natural gas, coal, hydro and nuclear. How are base-load energy demands met? What are the implications
of electric transportation? [I am told if all US transportation were electric
it needs 200 GW to provide the power]. Need to look at the REAL cost of
generation – eg a wind farm with 30% capacity factor
combined with a natural gas generation facility to cover remaining 70% of
demand etc. Need to also look at energy storage implications (eg pumped water storage)….. and
then you throw into the mix constraints relating to limiting carbon emissions
AND energy implications of increasingly severe and extreme weather as the
climate changes. Finally – there are the potential implications of smart grid
and conservation. Throw this into the mix: how much domestically resourced
energy does the USA need? How can that need be met in
a way that is sustainable and faces the fact that there are climate changes
occurring? Long list of potential speakers from academic centers as well as
industry and national labs --- don’t have names but could get some.
Energy water nexus --- 80% of the cost of water in the USA is the cost of the energy to
process and distribute it. Also almost equal amounts of water are used for
cooling electric generation as are used for irrigation. Clean water is going to
become an increasingly limited resource. Speaker TBD (possibly someone at the
INL – but several out there – again don’t have a name)
Energy food nexus: 25% of US corn now going to produce ethanol. With
global crop failures in 2010 (China, Russia and Australia) what are the options
for fuel (ethanol) vs food? How can fuel needs
be met and the planets people fed? [Several potential organizations --- don’t
have a name but could get one]
A good symposium would
include speakers from industry – (i) EPRI or a major
utility, (ii) policy-think-tank and (iii) some researchers able to provide the
big picture of the energy scene.
5.4 Proposed
Title: Technological Innovations for Global Health Care
Proposed by: Don Giddens (don.giddens@coe.gatech.edu), Georgia Institute of
Technology Ram D. Sriram (ramdsriram@gmail.com),
National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Description: Globally we are
witnessing a steady increase in the cost of health care. This increase has a
considerable adverse effect on the economies of both developed and developing
nations. Although developed nations have been the beneficiary of advanced
technologies in health care – albeit at a cost – there is a considerable
concern on the rising costs of the health care enterprise. Additionally, lack
of adequate information transfer is costing billions in lost revenue. Technological
innovations can reduce disparities in health care across the globe (flatten the
quality of health care). This session will present case studies of various
innovations that engineers have made to make health care more affordable in
both developing and developed nations. Sample topics
would include:
1. How developing nations
are using advanced information technologies to deliver affordable health care
to remote villages
2. How supply chain
technology can aid in ensuring medical supplies are properly
dispersed during epidemics in third world countries.
3. How technology is used to
develop inexpensive solutions for safe drinking water, inexpensive medical
devices and sensors
4. How the United States is
using health information technology to ensure patient safety and cost
reductions in health care delivery
5. How technology will make
genomics affordable for the masses.
5.5 Proposed Title: Toward Global Energy Efficient Sustainable Manufacturing
Proposed by: Ram Sriram (ramdsriram@gmai.com), Vijay Srinivasan
(vijay.srinivasan@nist.gov) and Sudarsan Rachuri (sudarsan@nist.gov).
Description:
Sustainability is a holistic systems approach for the production and
consumption of goods and services that minimizes resource depletion while maximizing
value to the producer, consumer, and society at large. Sustainability has
become imperative to product manufacturing and is gaining momentum every day,
with the constant influx of new players and new initiatives. There are many
forces behind the present sustainability movement, including climate change,
energy and resource depletion, market and consumer demand, branding and
innovation, corporate social responsibility, and regulation. Sustainable
manufacturing is taking root in industry, with many countries defining notions
of extended producer responsibility, product category rules, environmental
product declaration, eco-labeling and related standards and regulations.
The manufacturing industry
-- which is vital to all economies -- in the US, EU and emerging economies like
China, India, and Brazil is being challenged to improve its energy efficiency
and reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by transforming its production
processes and technologies. These challenges organically create great
opportunities for new business fields related to the demand for carbon neutral
and energy efficient products and processes. The challenge of moving towards a
carbon neutral economy requires us to develop a range of low carbon energy
technologies for the electricity, heat and transportation markets.
As far as reducing energy
consumption in the manufacturing sector, we need to have a portfolio approach
such as 1) energy conservation and waste reduction, 2) new manufacturing
processes for energy efficiency including the supply chain, and 3) use
renewable and clean energy technologies. The following topics will be presented
to address the above topics:
1) Case studies for energy
harvesting in manufacturing processes, combined heat and power (CHP), energy
conservation and waste reduction (industrial buildings – HVAC and lighting,
compressed air, motors and drives, packaging)
2) Technological innovations
in energy efficient engineering
3) Renewable and clean
energy technologies (including energy storage)
4) Future intelligent power
grids such as smart grid technologies (GridWise-US, SmartGrid-EU) for manufacturing applications.
This session will also draw
attention to the importance of policies (EU Strategic Energy Technology
Plan-SET-Plan, Japan New National Energy Strategy, US DOE/EPA National Action
Plan for Energy Efficiency-Vision 2020, standards and regulations in the area
of energy management (ISO 50001) and ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO
14001 (environmental management).
5.6 Proposed Title: Predictive Health
Proposed by: Richard Willson
(willson@uh.edu)
Description: The
long history of medicine has largely been one of reaction after the emergence
of problems. We are entering an era of predictive health, in which advanced
diagnostic, monitoring and informatics tools allow measures to be taken in
advance of the actual occurrence of disease. Examples range from clinical
diagnostics such as high-sensitivity troponin measurements, which detect very
low levels of cardiac cell death and may predict the occurrence of heart
disease well before symptoms emerge, to the Google Flu Tracker, which analyzes
disease-related queries from a given geographical area to detect the arrival of
seasonal flu in that area, to the prediction of outbreaks of meningitis based upon
satellite observations of environmental conditions.
I work in diagnostics, and would be interested in
organizing this session. The following persons have also
expressed interest in this session:
a. Tamara Lewis-Johnson, US National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, (lewisjohnsont@niaid.nih.gov)
b. Russell Lefevre, (r.lefevre@ieee.org)
c. Yu-Ling Chon, Director of the Center
for Global Engineering at the University of Toronto, might also be interested
in this topic.
5.7 Proposed Title: The natural gas revolution
Contact Person: Richard Willson (willson@uh.edu).
Description: The extraordinary increase in North American (and probably
soon global) supplies of natural gas created by advanced drilling and
production technologies will greatly change the assumptions upon which energy
and environmental decisions are based. For example, natural gas is greener than
coal, but less green than wind, the development of which it may delay; what
does that mean for CO2 and other emissions? Should societies develop
infrastructure for cars running on electricity, or compressed natural gas? Does
temporarily-abundant gas mean we should take more time for further improvement
of renewable energy technologies before investing heavily in their large-scale
deployment?
Dr. Moore encouraged all those who have suggested
these ideas to develop them further and submit them on the AAAS proposal
submission website by the deadline of April 26, 2011.
Finally, Dr. Moore asked for suggestions for Plenary
and Topical lectures speakers. Below are
some of the names that were suggested.

suggested:
a) Steven Chu (DOE)
b) Steve Jobs (CEO, Apple)
c) Yu-Ling Chen (Director of Center of Global
Engineering- Univ. of Toronto)
d) Bill Gates (Microsoft)
e) Alan Mullaly (CEO, Ford)
f) Brian MacCraith
(President, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland)
