TY - JOUR AU - Malasri, Siripong PY - 1999 TI - Current Issue in Engineering JF - IESTOC; Vol 1 No 1 (1999): MAESC 1999 Proceedings KW - N2 - October 1998 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Dear Fellow Memphis-Area Engineers: I am very pleased to announce the Memphis-Area Engineering Societies Conference (MAESC), the first of its kind in Memphis. MAESC is being sponsored by various local engineering organizations, which are listed elsewhere in this brochure. The growth of Memphis and the surrounding area is largely dependent on the strength of our engineering community. The more we can enhance our engineering talents through both industry and education, the better the chance more industries will be attracted to this region. This conference presents us with many opportunities a chance for us to share our expertise and discuss current issues in engineering. It will also be an excellent opportunity for continuing education. In addition, the bonds of our local engineering organizations will be strengthened. We are at the turn of the century time to prepare for the next millennium. I would like to thank the various sponsors for their support. Also, special thanks go to Jeff Talley of ASME and Arthur Eberle of AIChE for taking a leadership role in co-chairing the MAESC 1999 Advisory Board. Many thanks are due to the Organizing Committee members, who have big tasks ahead for the next several months. On behalf of Christian Brothers University, we are delighted to have this opportunity to host the conference. You will hear more from us at various stages as we progress through the preparations for MAESC 1999. We look forward to your support and participation. Siripong Malasri, Ph.D., P.E.
