MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTSAE CENTENNIAL

Glenn Curtiss: Yankee tinkerer, daredevil, engineerWorld history is full of the stories

of people who were not actually thefirst in their field, but throughentrepreneurial spirit, creativity,risk-taking, and persistence werefar more successful than the groundbreakers. Bill Gates, Henry Ford,and The Beatles come to mind.

Author Kirk House profiles GlennCurtiss in Hell Rider to King of theAir: Glenn Curtiss’s Life ofInnovation (SAE new HardcoverBook R-314), and says it well.“…often more important thanprimacy are the questions ofinfluence. Glenn Curtiss was oneof the most influential men in thedevelopment of the motorcycle withits industry, the airplane with its industry,and the travel trailer with its industry—not to mention the development ofsoutheastern Florida.”

In his 52-years (1878-1930), Curtissparlayed an eighth-grade education intothe titles “Fastest Man on Earth,” “Fatherof Naval Aviation,” inventor of the aileron,holder of the first pilot’s license, and oneof the most creative transportationinventors and designers of all time.

Like the Wrights and the Duryeas,Curtiss had a bicycle repair shop in 1900,and it took him only a year to buy a mail-order engine and strap it to one of hisbicycles. In only one more year, Curtisswas building lightweight engines of hisown and selling motorcycles in earnest. In1907, Curtiss earned the title “fastest manin the world” by riding a large, custom-made motorcycle with an eight-cylinderengine at 136.3 mph in Ormond Beach,FL. (No human being traveled faster for afull four years later, when a racing car hit141.7 mph.)

It was around 1907 when Curtiss joinedAlexander Graham Bell and others in thefounding of the Aerial Experiment

Association in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Theassociation appointed Curtiss Director ofExperiments. He offered the Wrights hisengines but was rejected.

By the time Curtiss joined SAE in 1916,his relationship with the Wrights haddeteriorated amid lawsuits and claims ofpatent infringement by the Wrights.Some of Glenn Curtiss’ unquestionedachievements:

• First V8 and V-twin motorcycle (andone of the first V8s in the U.S.)

• First water-cooled airplane engine

• Invention of aileron and tricyclelanding gear

• Instrumental in the development offlying schools, dedicated flying fields, andmilitary aircraft—particularly seaplanesand bombers

• Created the first large aircraftbusiness and the enterprise of aeronauticengineering

• Created the first streamlined,articulated travel trailer

• A driving force in the development ofsoutheastern Florida.

World Congress updateThe SAE 2004 World Congress is now a part of SAE history. It

is often said that history is the best evaluator of the significanceof different events. What is your view of how this event should beviewed in SAE history?

Some people I’ve talked with say Congress wasn’t like the olddays with major exhibits from all the Tier 1’s and thousands ofengineers in the exhibit aisles. That is a correct observation andreflects some of the changes in the world that I wrote about inmy last SAE UPdate message. However, there were also manypositive changes that to me, as an SAE member, indicate ourCongress is healthy, growing, and getting stronger.

Ford’s Phil Martens, 2004 World Congress General Chair, SAE’s Dave Amati, Director-Automotive Business, and the entire Congress Team did an outstanding job planningand executing this year’s event. Successful ideas from previous years were continuedand new events were added to provide value to all participants. The AVL-sponsoredTechnology Theater, which is an executive management conference held in conjunctionwith the World Congress, was again very successful with nearly 80 senior executives—including 20 CEOs—making presentations during the week. That was complementedby the new, Dana-sponsored Technical Innovation Forum, a second theater on the exhibitfloor used for in-depth technical presentations. Dana’s large exhibit also marked thereturn of a major Tier 1 to the exhibit floor.

The OEMs and major suppliers participated in many significant ways, includingtechnical papers, key sponsorships, and having their senior executives participate inexecutive-level panels and keynote presentations. Seventeen OEMs presented 474technical papers—a 47% increase over 2003, and the top-tier suppliers presented 203papers—an increase of 36% from 2003.

The new high-performance emphasis, “Passion for Performance,” was very successful,bringing together many highly respected industry leaders such as Carroll Shelby, JackRoush, Steve Saleen, and John Force. Attendance records indicate this session waseffective in reaching younger members.

In another event highlight, the continuing-education seminars exceeded all previousyears by a 40% margin. All 35 scheduled seminars were held, one additional seminarwas added due to over enrollment, and several of the seminars reached maximum-capacity attendance.

Another new activity during the 2004 Congress was selling exhibit space for nextyear’s event. Results were outstanding, with more than 50% of the space for next yearalready booked, some by companies who didn’t exhibit this year but wanted to be includednext year based on the success of this year’s meeting.

As your 2004 President, I had the opportunity to meet with many of our internationalmembers and representatives from collaborative organizations. Our name, SAEInternational, truly reflects the scope of our organization today. The number ofinternational attendees, exhibitors, technical papers, and sessions at Congress allexceeded previous records and several are planning a larger presence next year.

The leadership approach to Congress was revised several years ago to a more team-oriented effort that includes the OEMs and major suppliers. Phil Martens, Ford, andthe Congress Team continued that approach this year and I’m confident General Motors’Jim Queen, 2005 World Congress General Chair, and host company General Motorswill do the same next year. Host companies have already been identified for the nextseveral years, with BMW committed for 2006 and Toyota for 2007.

Next year’s Congress will be held April 11-14—a month later than this year—to reduceconflicts with the European auto shows and hopefully provide better weather.

I tend to be a “glass is half full” type of person, but even for the “glass is half empty”view, I think the factual results of this year’s Congress support the view I stated earlier:our World Congress is healthy, growing, and getting stronger.

Please email me at dtiede@sae.org with your input on the SAE World Congress or anyother topic you would like to discuss. I look forward to the year, and the opportunity toshare thoughts with you monthly in this forum.

WASHINGTON REPORT

Automotive Retailing Today hosts WAPA luncheon at National Press Club; auto dealers put out “help wanted” signBy Doug Read, Managing Director, SAE Washington, D.C., office

An all-out effort toattract returning militaryveterans and tech-savvystudents to rewarding,high-paying automotive-related jobs wasannounced by AutomotiveRetailing Today (ART)recently. ART, a grouprepresenting automanufacturers and franchise dealers,sponsored the Washington AutomotivePress Association (WAPA) luncheon onFebruary 18 at the National Press Club toannounce this effort.

Addressing the nationwide shortage ofauto service technicians by borrowing aMarine Corps. recruiting slogan, ARTChairman James Willingham said thatauto dealers “are not just looking for a fewgood men…and women. There are tens ofthousands of unfilled career positionsavailable right now.” He also announceda new Web site with extensive career andtraining information.

Speaking before WAPA members,Willingham said, “It’s an employee’smarket in my industry. At a time whenall of us are hearing a lot about a joblessrecovery in our country, auto dealers arehanging out a big ‘help wanted’ sign. A keyfocus of the current presidential electioncycle is on the urgent need to create morejobs that pay a living wage. Well, we’vegot them—lots of them. Now, we needqualified people to fill them.”

Willingham described the country’sautomotive service centers asestablished franchise new autodealerships that are intellectually

challenging, and requiring annualtraining courses to service the latesttechnology in the newest models. Payand demand for these positions are high,which translates into high job security,opportunities for mobility and greatbenefits including a comfortable, modernworking environment, health insurance,and retirement plan options.

A recent survey shows that a shortageof auto technicians continues nationwide.A majority of auto dealers say they needto hire at least one new technician in thenext six months; the average number ofnew technicians needed is 2.1 per dealer.The study was conducted for UniversalTechnical Institute, a leading provider ofservice technician training and staffingsolutions. The Bureau of Labor Statisticshas set the shortage at 35,000 annuallythrough 2010. In collaboration with themilitary and educational professionals,www.autojobstoday.org includesinformation about careers, salaries, andavailable training, and it serves as aclearinghouse for the auto industry’sservice technician career programinformation.

NHTSA extends dual-fuel creditfor fuel economy throughModel Year 2008

In an effort to spur the continueddevelopment and use of alternate-fuel-powered vehicles, the U.S. Department ofTransportation (DOT) has recentlyextended, until 2008, the incentive fordual-fueled vehicles created by theAlternative Motor Fuels Act (AMFA).

The DOT’s National Highway TrafficSafety Administration (NHTSA) expectsthat the four-year extension of theincentive means that manufacturers willproduce more dual-fueled vehicles thanthey would if the incentive were notextended. It also means that the U.S.vehicle fleet will have greater capabilityto operate on ethanol, a domestic fuel.Increased ethanol use can decrease U.S.reliance on foreign petroleum. Thedecision also gives Congress, other federalagencies, regional authorities, and theprivate sector ample time to identify, adopt,and implement measures to enhance thealternative-fuel infrastructure.

Passed by Congress in 1988, the actprovides an incentive by increasing thefuel economy values for dual-fueledvehicles. The higher values make it easierfor a manufacturer to comply with theCorporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE)standards. The act limits the extent towhich a manufacturer can use theincentive to increase its overall CAFE to0.9 miles per gallon for any model year.

The final rule is available to the publicin the DOT docket (Docket NumberNHTSA 2001-10774). The rule is alsoviewable on the Internet by conducting a“simple search” using the number “10774”at http://dms.dot.gov/.

House Science Committee examinesmajor reports that suggest changesin President’s hydrogen initiative

On March 3, 2004, the Committee onScience held a hearing to review tworecent reports that recommend changes

in the President’s hydrogen initiative. TheAdministration has repeatedly cited thehydrogen initiative, announced in lastyear’s State of the Union address and runby the Department of Energy (DOE), as akey part of efforts to promote long-termenergy security and environmentalprogress. Reports issued in the last fewweeks by the National Academy ofSciences (NAS) and the American PhysicalSociety (APS) agree that hydrogenresearch and development is important,but recommend changes in the focus of theDOE program.

Providing testimony at this hearing,titled “Reviewing the Hydrogen Fuel andFreedomCAR Initiatives,” held in theRayburn House Office building on CapitolHill were: David Garman, AssistantSecretary of Energy Efficiency andRenewable Energy at the Department ofEnergy; Michael Ramage, Chair, NASCommittee on Alternatives and Strategiesfor Future Hydrogen Production and Use,and retired Executive Vice President atExxonMobil Research and EngineeringCo.; and Peter Eisenberger, Chair of theAPS’ Panel on Public Affairs EnergySubcommittee and Professor of Earth andEnvironmental Sciences at ColumbiaUniversity.

As a result, the Science CommitteeChairman, Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY)provided his insight into the President’shydrogen initiative, and called for thecurrent program, “...to be reshaped toincrease the likelihood that hydrogen cansome day become the answer to our energyand environmental needs.”

Johnson, Director, Argonne NationalLaboratory Research & Design Center, and Zhou Hang, President, China AutomotiveTechnology and Research Center (CATARC) on the agreement they signed on advancedautomotive technology during the SAE 2004 World Congress.

General N. RossThompson III,CommandingGeneral, U.S.Army Tank-automotive andA r m a m e n t sC o m m a n d ,spoke duringthe Departmentof DefenseFuture MobilityRequirementskeynote at theAVL Theater. Hecalled uponSAE, industry,

and the military to work together to leveragetechnological know-how and available moneyto meet both business interests and militaryrequirements. “None of us have enoughresources to do the things we need to do,” hesaid. “We can get a lot further along if weleverage each others capabilities and dollarresources. We’re looking for the best ideas thatyou got.”

To help get things kicked off at thisyear’s SAE World Congress, HelmutList, Chairman and CEO, AVL ListGmbH, welcomed attendees Mondayto the event and the AVL TechnologyTheater. Joining him at the GrandOpening Session were SAE ’04General Chair Philip Martens of Fordand Mike Burns, the newly appointedCEO and President of Dana Corp. “Webelieve our sponsorship of this theateris a perfect fit for AVL,” said List. “Wehave a long tradition of providingforums for critical dialogue amongmajor stakeholders in industry,government, and academia. What

happens in this theater and at this Congress is about leading-edge[technology]; breaking paradigms; and partnering locally, regionally,and globally to make our industry the best it can be.” The automotiveindustry has always faced enormous challenges, List added. “Whetherit’s on the powertrain, emissions, material, electronic, or safety fronts,sharing new ideas and technological breakthroughs and, importantly,dissecting technological roadblocks is the best way—maybe the onlyway—to isolate [and solve] these challenges.”

It was standing room only at the AVL Technology Theater for “TheFuture for Hybrid Vehicles” panel Monday afternoon.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Sweet deal: SAE teams with candy companyYou may not be familiar with JustBorn,

but you probably are familiar with itsproducts. If you’ve ever eaten Mike andIkes, Hot Tamales, Zours, Teenee Beenees,Peanut Chews, or Peeps, then you’ve hadthe pleasure of sampling this 550-person,Bethlehem, PA, candy company’s sweets.

While these products are far removedfrom those produced in the mobilityindustry, much of the work that goes oninside the JustBorn corporate office andmanufacturing facility would be familiarto business professionals in all fields. Oneimportant and recognizable aspect of thebusiness is JustBorn’s commitment toboth training and quality. These twocritical fields are addressed through thecompany’s “High Performance LeadershipDevelopment Program” and their“WOW…Now” continuous processimprovement (CPI) program.

This past summer, Meloney Sallie-Dosunmu, Employee Relations &Development Manager at JustBorn, wasworking to develop CPI training forcompany leaders. One critical aspect ofthe program was that JustBorn wantedto give its employees a solid foundationof value-stream mapping techniques thatcould be used in the “WOW…Now”initiative. The company had planned touse an “off-the-shelf” value-streammapping course and instructor. As thetraining drew near, it became clear thatthis program could not be adjusted to fitthe programs and processes in place atJustBorn. In the end, Sallie-Dosunmuhad just days to find a trainer andprogram that would work, so she turnedto the Internet and started searching.

Her search results included a link toSAE professional development courses,and her perusal of the SAE site led her toinformation about SAE CorporateLearning Solutions. “We had to findsomeone who had an incredible amountof expertise and flexibility,” says Sallie-Dosunmu. “[SAE’s] Ruth [Walker] was

amazing. By the end of the day, we werepenciled into the instructor’s calendar.”

Soon after this, Ruth and instructor J.Richard Zelonka met with anotherconsultant who was running theJustBorn’s “High Performance LeadershipDevelopment Program.” They were ableto carefully modify Zelonka’s program tocreate a unique course that fit JustBorn’sneeds, emphasizing value-streammapping’s role in continuous processimprovement.

Once the prep work was done, it was timeto get started. This past September, Zelonkacompleted the first course in a series thatwill take place over the next 18 months. Asa bonus, Sallie-Dosunmu took Richard backto the airport in the “Peepster” – a yellowVolkswagen beetle with a traditional yellow“Peep” mounted on top.

Sallie-Dosunmu says that working withSAE “has been a wonderful experience.” Shealso notes that there have already been twovery concrete, positive results after just twosessions. First, she was able to take theknowledge gleaned from the courses toprovide special value-stream mappingtraining to employees outside the leadershipprogram. Second, three teams are workingon special CPI projects. At least one, focusedon improving packaging, has used theknowledge and tools from this training tomap their processes—identifying problemsin communications that resulted inincomplete or delayed information flow, thuscausing production problems. In response,the team is already streamlining theinformation flow from customer to plantfloor, from which JustBorn expects to realizesignificant savings.

At first glance, the pairing of a candycompany with an engineering society mayseem odd, but SAE is proud to have provenonce again that its Corporate LearningSolutions represent high-quality trainingcovering important topics in technical,quality processes, and businessknowledge.
