ASME's
Center for Research and Technology Development (CRTD) facilitates
the development and application of technology in areas of interest
to ASME members and to the engineering profession by encouraging
partnering between industry, government, and academia.
The
mission of the CRTD is to effectively
plan and manage the collaborative research activities of ASME
to meet the needs of the mechanical engineering profession as
defined by the ASME members. CRTD provides ASME members with a
vehicle to:
- identify
present, new and unfulfilled research and technological needs;
- conduct
peer reviews and program reviews of relevant programs for government
agencies and industrial organizations;
- identify
emerging and future technical areas including evolving multidisciplinary
areas, where ASME should be a major player
- perform
assessments of technological change that affects mechanical engineering;
- collaborate
with other ASME Councils; and
- effectively
communicate the results of ASME's research program.
CRTD
is governed by the Board on Research and Technology Development
(BRTD) which consists of individuals with a broad engineering perspective
and recognized expertise in one or more of the primary technical
disciplines.
