General Information

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This event is supported by the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division. Dynamic Systems and
Control is a fast growing and pervasive engineering field. There is rarely an engineering endeavor that
does not involve the careful control, analysis, and/or synthesis of physical, dynamic systems. Be it fluids,
thermodynamics, heat transfer, machine design, or materials engineering: systems and control contribu-
tions are essential. The DSC division via this conference, provides a national and international forum to
evaluate, discuss, analyze, and publish new technical results in the field; stimulate and encourage research
and education innovations; enhance manpower in research and engineering education in dynamic
systems and control; and lead in setting directions for the field in the future.

MINNEAPOLIS
Minneapolis, the largest city in Minnesota and the seat of Hennepin County, is located in the southeast
central part of the state on the Mississippi River. It is adjacent to its “twin city” of St. Paul.
In 1680, Father Louis Hennepin visited the future site of Minneapolis and gave the Falls of St. Anthony their
name. Lt. Zebulon Pike made a treaty with the Sioux Indians in 1805–1806, by which they ceded to the
whites much land, including the Falls of St. Anthony and the site of Minneapolis. Fort Snelling was built in
1819–1820, and in 1823 the government built a lumber and flour mill. Flour milling became the major
industry of early Minneapolis and made the city the milling capital of the world. The town of St. Anthony
was established on the east bank of the Mississippi in 1848, and the town of Minneapolis grew up on the
opposite bank of the river.

The University of Minnesota has produced many graduates who have made notable contributions to
society such as Noble Peace Prize winner Dr. Norman Borlaug, father of the “green revolution,” a man who
has saved more than a billion lives with his agricultural research. The College of Science and Engineering
at the University of Minnesota is ranked among the top engineering and science academic programs in
the country. From the retractable seat belt and the black box flight recorder to the supercomputer and the
first heart pacemaker, science and engineering faculty and alumni have generated a legacy of break-
