To learn about the important connection between mechanical engineering and materials science, we turned to five experts with backgrounds in both fields for insight. The panelists share their perspectives on how the two disciplines informed their careers, which types of design challenges can be solved with materials information, and how ASM can improve that connection by leading with a “unity of disciplines” approach. The panelists are Scott Carpenter, Vactronix Scientific; Bertrand Jodoin, University of Ottawa; Vistasp Karbhari, The University of Texas at Arlington; Marina B. Ruggles-Wrenn, Air Force Institute of Technology; and Judith A. Todd, The Pennsylvania State University.

To learn about the latest trends in advanced materials, we turned to four of ASM’s thought leaders: John Ågren, KTH Royal Institute of Technology; George T. (Rusty) Gray III, Los Alamos National Laboratory; Jennie S. Hwang, H-Technologies Group; and David K. Matlock, Colorado School of Mines. This article presents their perspectives on the future of engineered materials, key areas of opportunity, and what ASM can do to support the next generation of materials scientists and engineers.
