FIRST A S M E DESIGN TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER CONFERENCE Preliminary Announcement With the support of the National Science Foundation, the Committee on Design Technology Transfer of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers will hold a conference at New York, New York, U.S.A. on 6--9 October 1974. The purpose of this Conference is to accelerate the transfer of available and newly developed machine design technology to the practice level. Its ultimate objective is to develop monographs in machine design as tools to improve the productivity of designers. Papers will be presented in the following areas: Survey of new design technology at the research level; survey of design technology at the practice level; techniques of technology transfer; and computers in design technology.
