S. Cesnik Home Organization: University of Michigan Phone/Email: (734) 764-3397 / cesnik@umich.edu Honors & Awards Number of Committees: 9 (+1) Total Members: 358 Industry: 111 / 31% Government: 86 / 24% Academia: 160 / 45% As of: 01 May 17 Ashley, Sterns, and MDO Awards New “ICME Prize” award (Mat TC) nominations (‘18) Several Best Paper and Student Paper Awards Member: 72 / 20% Sr. Member: 133 / 37% Ass. Fellow: 128 / 36% Fellows: 19 / 5% Education Short Courses: Rocket Engines (SDTC), Hypersonics Materials/Structures (STC) Supporting DBF (DETC)—record # of entries in 2016 Top 3 Accomplishments Strong outreach activities by multiple TCs New cross TC Working group in Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) Multiple publications by TC Handbook of Testing Large Ultra-Lightweight Spacecraft Design Guide Materials book Group organization/documentation Publications Materials draft book completed (Materials TC); “Testing Ultra- light weight spacecraft structures” in final stages Released new edition “Design Guide” and DETC handbook posted online (DETC) Outreach STEM Outreach at a SciTech local high school (SDTC+); ASTC kits for local students at SMASIS Conference Virtual researcher on-call (VROC) system (Canada); Nepris (U.S.) – Struct TC

Opportunities/Best Practices To Share Joint TCs mid-year meetings offer great interaction opportunities and improve effectiveness Developed a new cross-TC Working Group to coordinate work related to Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) including the Materials, Structures, NDA, MDO and Systems Engineering TCs -- intent is to integrate this as a key element of the newly forming “Digital Engineering Program Committee” Panel discussion after “keynote lecture” worked very well STEAM outreach activities lead by one TC but open to members of all TCs Documentation/Guidelines in place certain AD&S group activities connected to new even model: Selection of SciTech AD&S Tech Chair Selection of SciTech AD&S Student Paper Chair

Issues/Concerns/Challenges For TAC Action Interaction with other technical societies is diminished SDM Conference had tie-ins with ASME, ASCE, ASC, AHS Interactions seem more limited under the SciTech model 2017 SciTech abstract submissions dropped—need to further investigate causes and possible actions (some TC working on it) Availability of teleconference-capable system in TC meeting rooms during SciTech Still missing coordination among the various Groups within SciTech Missing opportunities for cross-listed sessions; similar theme session overlap AD&S ad-hoc committee to review its 5-6 Conferences within SciTech and recommend further improvements/integration 2017 Aviation is in the same week as ISSMO World Congress causing conflict for MDO papers—possible future coordination? Integration of SETC in the AD&S Group
