Broaden Our Global Scope and Future Visions
Dr. Simon C. Tung, President of DCEA
August 20, 1997
The automotive industries are facing tough overseas
competition, government regulations, and rapid
technological changes. Ever increasing government
regulations require improved fuel economy, better
reliability and safety, and lower emissions from the
automotive systems. Higher performance and longer
durability of components and tribological materials will
become increasingly important in the face of harsh
operating environments and better wear-resistant and
friction-reducing characteristics. Stringent federal
legislation calling for better fuel economy and reduced
emissions is the driving force for improved automotive
components that are compatible with future automotive
materials and vehicle emission systems. This year, one
of the major goals in the Detroit Chinese Engineers
Association is to broaden our global scope and future
visions in the rapid development of automotive
industries.
This year we first sponsored the Spring Automotive
Engineering Conference and Exposition on March 1.
Then we organized an Automotive Body Engineering
Workshop on June 14. These events were very
successful. Spring Automotive Engineering Conference
did provide a great forum for global technology exchange
and interaction among all automotive engineers,
scientists, and executives. In addition, the Automotive
Body Engineering Workshop has provided fundamental
engineering knowledge and technical discussion related
to automobile body design, analysis, testing,
manufacturing and assembly. All attendees for these
two events enjoyed learning new technology and
interacting with all distinguished speakers from China,
Taiwan, and U.S. I would like to personally thank all
speakers and DCEA organizers in these two meetings.
Your efforts and great knowledge have stimulated our
society scope and future visions in automotive
development.
On August 19, DCEA in conjunction with Oakland
University, Society of Tribologists and Lubrication
Engineers (STLE) has presented an educational seminar
on Manufacturing Tribology for Automotive Components.
Several interesting topics such as cutting tool coatings
performance, metalworking fluid optimization, sheet
metal forming, and engine tribology coatings have been
presented by our DCEA members to educate our
automotive engineers and graduate students working in
these areas. We had a successful seminar and the
DCEA has received a lot of attention from the Great
Detroit Area. Now we plan to launch another Fall
Automotive Engineering Conference and Exposition
at Lawrence Technological University, Wayne Buell
Management Building, on October 11, 1997. This
conference and exposition will be co-sponsored by
Detroit Chinese Engineers Association (DCEA),
North American Association of Chinese Engine
Engineers (NAACEE), and Society of Automotive
Engineers-China. The conference themes will be
focused on two major areas: (1) Powertrain, and (2)
Intelligence Systems and Technologies. SAE-China
will send a delegation team including all major
automotive and petroleum company directors and
executives to participate this conference. Fifteen
speakers from China, and U.S., have been lined up and
will present their global perspectives and recent
technology development in these two areas. (see the
detailed program in this Newsletter). In addition, we are
fortunate to work with North American Association of
Chinese Engine Engineers (NAACEE) and SAE-China
for co-sponsoring this event.
I would like to encourage you for supporting our incoming
activities. This Fall Automotive Engineering Conference
and Exposition on October 11 will provide an outstanding
forum for communication on current developments and
future directions of Powertrain Technology and Intelligent
Systems and Technologies. We are looking forward to
your participation.

SAE and China Strengthen Relationship with
Various Cooperative Agreements
To ensure that current engineering technology is readily available to the world's mobility practitioners, SAE continues to
cultivate partnerships with technical societies and mobility industry organizations throughout the world. A spring trip to
the Far East by SAE representatives served to continue discussions of cooperation, many of which began during the SAE
Congress this past Feb., and solidify relations with the People's Republic of China.
Society ambassadors on the trip included Max Rumbaugh, SAE Executive Vice President; Claude Verbal, 1996 SAE
President; Ray Morris, Executive Director, SAE Products and Services; Murli Iyer, SAE Intl. Sections Developer; and
John Casker, Manager, SAE Section Relations. Results of their travels and meetings with organizations in Beijing,
Shanghai, and Hong Kong follow.
Beijing
While in this part of the country, SAE staff members met with SAE-China President Mr. Zhang Xingye and Secretary
General Mr. Jin Dongying to discuss details of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the two
organizations in February.
The Memorandum with this sister society covers cooperation in three areas that would eliminate duplication of activities
and provide value to mobility engineers in China. This includes the organization of technical meetings and educational
exhibits of mutual interest and benefit; joint member activities, including joint meetings in Beijing for members of both
societies; and the appointment of a Beijing representative to process membership applications for forwarding to SAE
International.
SAE-China currently has 14 branches with more than 10,000 members that organize 10-15 meetings per year. They have
already begun to promote the concept of team membership in which up to 10 qualifying members team to join SAE under
one dues payments, sharing the tangible SAE benefits such as Automotive or Aerospace Engineering Magazine.
It was learned on this visit that approximately 15 Chinese corporations are expected to exhibit at SAE'98. The SAE
delegation offered to help SAE-China promote calls for papers for an exhibition to be held in Beijing in June 1998 and a
congress to be held in Shanghai in Oct. 1998. These two events are being organized jointly by SAE-China and the
Association of Trade Promotion and International Economic and Technical Corporation, among others.
SAE-China representatives noted that Mr. Xiaoyu Zhang, Director-General of the Ministry of Machine Industry (MMI)
was appointed by the State Science and Economic Commission as representative of the members of SAE International in
Beijing and would be responsible for organizing local activities.
Shanghai
Here, SAE delegates met with Mr. Qian Wei Chang, Deputy Director, Science and Technology Commission of the
Shanghai Municipality, and Mr. Yang Jie, SAE's Advisor in Shanghai. During the meeting, Mr. Qian encouraged SAE to
continue to work through Mr. Lu Jian of the Shanghai Automotive Industries Corp., and Professor Chen to establish an
SAE section in Shanghai. The central core of membership from the Shanghai Section will be from Shanghai Diesel. In
addition, Mr. Zhu Zianding, a chief editor of several Chinese technical journals, offered to promote SAE membership in
Shanghai through articles in these publications.
Hong Kong
The finalization of an MoU between SAE and the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) was the topic of a meeting
among Mr. Frederik T. H. Mak, Acting Secretary and Director General of HKIE, Mr. Iain Seymour-Hart, SAE's Advisor
to Hong Kong, and Society representatives. SAE left this meeting agreeing to forward the final version of the MoU to
HKIE for signature in the near future.
The MoU will enable SAE International and HKIE members to attend each other's meetings on the same basis and for the
same fees as members of the other organization. (One exception to this policy, however, is SAE's International Congress,
HKIE members will be charged the lowest nonmember rate to attend.)
The agreement will also permit members of either society to purchase periodicals and single copy publications at the
same reduced rate that is available to its own members. In addition, the two organizations will exchange publications of
common interest.
As with any MoU, working together to share information is at the heart of the agreement. International events for the
exchange of technical information will be pursued A coordination committee will be created in Hong Kong that will serve
to establish and maintain an active communication channel. This will enable meeting information and news of mutual
interest to be exchanged for circulation in any of their publications.
Other PRC developments
As a result of this same trip, SAE signed an MoU with the department responsible for the administration of the country's
automotive industry, the Automotive Industry Bureau of the Ministry of Machinery Industry (MMI-AUTO). Both
organizations have agreed to work cooperatively towards advancing automotive engineering technologies in China.
Furthermore, MMI agrees to support the agreements by SAE-China with SAE, especially in the areas of membership
development and activities in China, and SAE agrees to recognize MMI-AUTO as the sole organization to administer the
global vehicle identification number (VIN) system in China. (SAE was designated by ISO as the organization to provide
groups of VIN numbers to national organizations that administer VIN's in a particular country.)
