The Akron ASME Industry Expo is our April ASME Meeting organized to highlight our local industry. It is the time for networking, socializing and fun.

This meeting brings together our sponsors, local industry representatives, our Akron Section ASME members, ASME members of other sections, members of other technical societies, and technical students from local colleges.

Industry representatives will showcase their products and capabilities in an informal trade show type environment to the approximately 120 engineers and students from our area. This is a great way to make contacts, and you may solve your technical challenges. Engineering, Manufacturing, and Support companies will be present.

The Akron Section will introduce the incoming board members who will serve you during the 2009-2010 year. Meet the people who work to provide the services of the section. Talk to the board members about how the Akron Section may serve you. Suggest a meeting topic you may want to here about, a company the membership may tour, or a lecture you or your company may desire. Be sure to give at least one board member your E-mail address to be assured you remain well informed. The Akron Section is here to support you.

Catch-up with members you haven't seen for a while. Our April meeting bringing industry, members and students together is a proven success. This is always one of our most heavily attended meetings. Enjoy a dinner provided by the section with cooperation of Industry.

The Akron Section thanks all the companies who are supporting our section now and throughout the past.

Joint Akron ASME/AIChE Meeting

At The Babcock & Wilcox Company Research Center (BWRC) in Barberton, Ohio, its mission is to innovate, and to be visionary in developing technology solutions for current and future challenges.

The $14 million, 55,000-square foot facility, which was inaugurated in August, 2007, is located near B&W's Barberton headquarters. It features new laboratory and test facilities with state-of-the-art instrumentation and controls. It replaces an outdated facility in Alliance, and will be a center for innovation as the company works to develop the next generation of steam production and pollution control technologies, including technologies to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the emissions of coal-fired power plants. More than 50 B&W employees work at the BWRC. Additional details may be found at www.babcock.com/services/research_and_development/.
