6th International Conference on Mechanics and Materials in Design

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a full-time lecturer position. The individual selected for this position will be expected to contribute to the department’s educational mission through teaching, course development, and advising and mentoring students. They might also engage in mechanical engineering scholarship. Johns Hopkins is a private university well known for its commitment to academic excellence and research. The mechanical engineering department is among the top in the country in terms of research activities and educational programs. See our web page at http://www.me.jhu.edu for additional information.

Mimics 14 comes with a CAD-like functionality, enabling you to design directly on anatomical data. 

THE JOB POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED. PLEASE DO NOT SEND APPLICATION.

Cenaero (http://www.cenaero.be/ ) and ULB-BATir (Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, http://www.ulb.ac.be/smc/) jointly propose a PhD position entitled: "Reduced order modeling and surrogate-based optimization for turbomachinery blade design" (4-year contract).

Hello!

 I'm an undergraduate mechanical engineering student and I an working on a team that is building a Mini Indy Race-car for the Formula SAE competition. I've been doing research on airfoil designs that we could potentially use for our car. The problem is, due to my lack of knowledge on airfoils, I'm not so sure how I should go about the design. I've looked at NACA airfoils and the different variations they have, but I don't know which series would be a good starting point.

Dear Imechanica friends

given the success of imechanica, and Zhigang's courses on this portal, I thought, to do something even more modern and friendly, to move to Facebook platform my courses.  Unfortunately in italian.

Given Obama's program to open to Education (see www.sciencedebate2008.com) and MIT opencourseware, and university of Phoenix success, and also given my own interest as founder of www.sciencedebate.it , I was inspired experimentally to open to facebook.

Maybe it is the first attempt worldwide?  I doubt it.  Maybe in mechanics of materials  perhaps?  Please let me know, so that we could share   on facebook some infos.

Lecturers - University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute

The University of Michigan (UM) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) have established a Joint Institute (JI) in Shanghai with a commitment to build a world-class academic institution with educational and research missions. The UM-SJTU Joint Institute invites applications for lecturers in several disciplines. With its unique academic mission in China, the JI offers an extraordinary academic environment. The JI has been given a high degree of autonomy to model itself on world-class US universities. The students are among China’s best.

Message from Stephen W. Tsai, of Stanford University.  After well received, successful completion of Composites Design Tutorial-1, we are pleased to announce Composites Design Tutorial-2 starting on April 8, 2008. This tutorial, comprising of twelve weekly 120-minute live sessions, is offered over the Internet using the cutting edge WebEx application with VoIP. The tutorial is offered to the Eastern and Western Worlds at convenient local time followed by active Q&A in English and other three languages for extended period. This allows the participants to access the tutorial contents on demand 24/7, even after the live tutorial sessions.
