ICME Implementation Study Wins Award of Excellence

Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME): Implementing ICME in the Aerospace, Automotive, and Maritime Industries, a study released by TMS in July 2013, recently won an Award of Excellence from the Washington, D.C./Baltimore chapter of the Society for Technical Communication (STC), making the report eligible to advance to the national competition. The nomination was submitted by the Nexight Group, who worked closely with TMS on the project.

The purpose of the study was to provide practical guidance on accelerating the development and manufacture of advanced materials at significantly reduced costs in the near-term. The project was successfully completed within an aggressive timeframe largely due to the efforts of nearly 50 leading scientists, engineers, and technical experts who volunteered their time and talents to the project.

“I am proud of TMS’s role in coordinating this effort, particularly since I believe it will be viewed as a milestone in the evolution of ICME as a discipline,» said James J. Robinson, TMS Executive Director. “However, it is these volunteer leaders who are responsible for the quality, value, and lasting impact of this work.”

The STC judges who gave the Award of Excellence to the study apparently agreed, with one of the evaluators commenting that it was “a seminal work in developing national consensus to move forward in an area of great potential for the economy. Exceptionally well-written and organized to clarify specific areas for action.”
