AIAA ICME Prize

Dear Imechanicians,

Under the auspices of the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and to “enable the optimization of the materials, manufacturing processes, and component design long before components are fabricated, by integrating the computational processes involved into a holistic system”, the AIAA Materials Technical Committee has established an ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering) Prize for the best aerospace focused ICME project.  The purpose of the ICME Prize is to stimulate computational design in a team environment and to instill product performance and certification requirement early in the design process.  The inaugural ICME prize competition is to take place at the AIAA SciTech 2018 conference in January 2018. 

On behalf of the ICME Prize Committee I’m soliciting your assistance in informing individuals interested in participating in this unique competition.  In addition to a $1500 award, the ICME Prize winners may have an internship opportunities with prize sponsors Purdue University cdmHUB, NASA, and Rolls-Royce.  Further details of the prize can be found at http://www.aiaa.org/icme/.
