The Chapter is financially stable. Steps have been taken to attract new members and increase student participation in Chapter activities. To increase regular meeting attendance, meeting times were adjusted to end earlier. We committed to continuing the dessert presentation by a graduate student discussing their work. Topics for regular meetings were on advanced materials and included hybrid structures, material for nuclear power, high performance aircraft landing gear applications, and research and development of hard disk drives. We participated in the National Engineers Week activities at the Carnegie Science Center by having several materials-related items to demonstrate. The event went very well and everyone that participated (both visitors and volunteers to our table) seemed themselves. We are getting prepared to host back-to-back ASM International Materials Science & Technology conferences in 2008 and 2009. I would like to thank all of the Executive and Regular Committees for making it a successful year. 2008–2009 Chapter State of Affairs Report Anthony Rollett, Chair It has been a full year as always and in particular, we made an effort to vary the content and locations of the Technical Meetings. The March meeting, for example, was held at Robert University in Moon Township which was the first time that we have been there. This gave us the opportunity to recognize the new student chapter that started this year thanks to Professor Priyadarshan Manohar’s leadership. We had a moving ceremony that was led by the Katz family to award the first Owen Katz Memorial Scholarship to Nathaniel Ondeck. As we attempt to reach a wider audience with programs, we always value the member’s feedback, so please do not hesitate to email or call any of the Officers to let us know what you think. As we near the end of the year for the Pittsburgh Golden Triangle Chapter, we have many interesting events to look forward to. Our ASM Trustee visitor is one of our own this year, Riad Asfahani from US Steel, who is also a former Chair of the Pittsburgh Chapter. He gave a brief account of developments in the Society as a whole at the Technical m meeting in April We look forward to the ceremony in May to mark the acceptance of the Beehive Coke Ovens as a Historical Landmark, which will also be a social even for the Chapter. We have about twenty high school teachers registered for the High School Teachers Camp in June, which will be held on the Carnegie Mellon campus. We are planning to offer short courses in association with MS&T09 on Designing with Stainless Steel and on Designing with Titanium. In closing, I would like to thank the numerous volunteers who are involved with making the Chapter as successful as it is. 9 MEMBERSHIPDIRECTORYANDBUYER’SGUIDE 2009–2010 Chapter State of Affairs Report Howard Kuhn, Chair We can look back with pride on a number of accomplishments this past year. A highly successful Materials Camp for Teachers was hosted by Tony Rollett on the CMU campus. Courses given by Chapter members at the MS&T Conference were will attended. Also at the MS&T Conference, another outstanding Materials Camp for K-12 students was presented. Chapter volunteers demonstrated phase changes at the National Chemistry Week at the Carnegie Science Center. Past Chair, Dr. Sandra DeVincent Wolf, gave the annual Pittsburgh Lecture on “Advanced Materials for our Energy Future”. Dr. John Barsom gave the Andrew Carnegie Lecture on cause and prevention of structural failures. At Young Members Night, Engineers Without Borders gave the Dessert Presentation on the activities and mission of their large and active Pittsburgh Chapter, and John Harkness gave an excellent talk on “Materials and Processes in the Manufacture of Civil War Small Arms”. John brought along several pieces for examination. The Chapter continues to be financially stable despite unfavorable economic times. 2010–2011 Chapter State of Affairs Report Stephen Fyfitch, Chair It’s been an exciting and occasionally hectic Chapter year once again. In particular, we continued to vary the content and locations of the Technical Meetings in an effort to allow the entire membership more convenient access to the meetings. For example, we
