will be located at the registration area.
The Computers and Information in Engineering Division (CIE) covers a broad spectrum of resources
relating directly to the use of computers, computing methods, software and information management
in engineering by providing a forum for understanding the application of emerging technologies that
impact critical engineering issues of representation, product design and product development, exchange,
management and integration of information throughout the entire engineering product and process
life-cycle.

The Design Engineering Division (DED) was founded in 1945, as the “Machine Design Division”, part of
the General Engineering Department of ASME. The objectives and function of this division are to promote
the art and science of mechanical engineering design in the conception, evolution, and design of machinery
and products, as well as mechanical design aspects of other phases of engineering. The division
encourages and provides a forum for the interchange of ideas relative to design engineering through
publications, presentations, discussion of technical papers, technical conferences and awards for
outstanding achievement by individuals in the field of design engineering.

REGISTRANTS WITH DISABILITIES

Whenever possible, we are pleased to make arrangements for registrants with disabilities. Advance
notice may be required for certain requests. For on-site assistance, please visit the registration area
and ask to speak with a conference representative.

CLEVELAND

A guy named Moses Cleaveland, a surveyor from Connecticut, ventured west along Lake Erie many years
ago and eventually landed in a forested area with the Cuyahoga River on one side and Lake Erie on
another. He thought, “Yes, this would make a great place for a city!” And so, in 1796, Cleveland was
officially born. (The “a” disappeared later.)

Cleveland isn’t a place for people who follow the herd, it is for those who know how to have a good time.
It’s what happens when grit meets sophistication; a town where you can browse modern art inside a
turn-of-the-century transformer station, hear the orchestra perform live inside the local hot dog joint
and immerse yourself in the James Beard award winning cuisine. While you’re here, nerd out among
legendary artifacts like Michael Jackson’s glove, at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or admire the 4,500
masterpieces displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art. No matter what you do, be sure to enjoy
Cleveland’s world-class experiences without the world-class ego.
