This month, the SAE Board meets in Montreal in conjunction Palmer has an HNC in mechanical engineering, a degree in with the Aerospace Congress & Exhibition (ACE) to provide support industrial management, and a master of science in design and commitment to the aerospace sector of our society and engineering for production. He is currently studying for a Ph.D. in emphasize its importance to the mobility community that we engineering at Cranfield University. Palmer is a Chartered represent. From its very beginnings in the early 1900s, SAE has Engineer (C.Eng) and a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical been involved with powered flight. We are fond of quoting Orville Wright from a letter he wrote in 1918: “The work covered by the Engineers (FIMechE) as well as a Member of the Institute of Andrew C. Palmer Chartered Managers (MICM). SAE is of such value that everybody identified with the industry should take out membership.” Palmer joined Rover Group in 1986 from Automotive Products where he stayed for three years after his Technical Apprenticeship. From 1987 to 1989, In May, the SAE Board met in Dayton, OH, to help celebrate he held various positions in Rover, both in technical and business domains. In 1990, he the 100 years of powered flight and participate in a special was promoted to Executive Engineer in Fluid Systems, Clutch, and Driveline, and finally dedication of a memorial plaque for the Wright Brothers. We also viewed the finals of held the position of Chief Engineer for Small Manual Transmissions. the Aero Design East Student Design Competition where four colleges competed with their specially designed, remote-controlled airplanes. Palmer joined Nissan (NTCE) in November 1991 as Manager in Programme Planning and Control. Later he held the positions of Manager & Deputy General Manager in While we claim that SAE International is covering the whole mobility industry, clearly Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He was appointed in July 1995 to the position of our focus is three major groups: 1) automobiles and light-duty trucks, 2) aerospace, and General Manager Vehicle Engineering having responsibility for Body, Trim, Safety, and 3) off-highway/heavy duty.
