The Ultimate Networking Experience for Materials Professionals! Nearly 4,000 business leaders, engineers, scientists and other materials professionals working in industry, government and academia travel from 68 countries to the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition.
This workshop will introduce participants to lean and green concepts and allow them to experience the benefits of applying these concepts firsthand via a hands-on simulation. Participants will leave the workshop with an introductory level understanding of:

1) the fundamental concepts of the lean philosophy,
2) the growing trend toward sustainable manufacturing,
3) how these two concepts can be effectively integrated, and
4) the benefits that accrue to companies that employ them.
The Wisconsin Association for Career and Technical Education (WACTE) unites individuals involved in career and technical education, provides professional development, encourages leadership in the political arena, and promotes innovative change to enhance lifelong learning.

Communications and networking embody the heart and the nerve system of the information technology - a technology that is profoundly affecting our daily lives. Experts, researchers, managers, and entrepreneurs in this dynamic field often encounter challenges that lead to innovative basic as well as applied research and developments. You are invited to submit full papers reporting original work to a forum where experts from industry and academia meet and exchange ideas on the topics. This international forum provides a bridge between the communications industry and academic research laboratories.
Manufacturing requires controls to be repeatable. The expertise that evolved RP into what it is today has opened Pandora's box for process control. Determining what must be measured, how to measure, and how to control it are critical to success. Considerations needed to successfully apply Direct Manufacturing as a production process will be presented. Webinar begins at 3 pm EDT. Webinars are live presentations, given by a technical leader, that you can take part in from your desk or conference room. All you need to participate is a phone and an Internet connection. After registration, you will receive an e-mail confirmation and instructions on how to join the meeting. SME webinars are typically hosted by one or more of our Technical Community Network (TCN) tech groups, technical events and/or professional development.
