Message from the President
Dear M&D Members,
 The mission of the division is to support the IIE manufacturing and design community in advancing the state of the art. We are reaching out to division members through multiple venues including the annual ISERC and Applied Solutions conferences, the M&D newsletter, and webinars. We have also introduced new division awards to recognize the outstanding contributions of our division members. I would like to make you aware that there are opportunities to serve in division committees that provide recommendations to the M&D Division Board.
If you are interested, please contact me or President-Elect Rohan Shirwaiker. I would also encourage members to contact us with any suggestions or recommendations for improving the value of the M&D Division for its members. I look forward to meeting you at our Town Hall Meeting at the ISERC 2016 Conference in Anaheim.
Sincerely,
John Jackman

Webinar
 Impact of Visual Models On Risk Attitude And Decision Trade-offs In Aircraft Component Repair
Presented by Manufacturing & Design Division
Jan. 14 | 2 p.m. Eastern time
Presenters: James Schreiner LTC, U.S. Army and Deborah L. Thurston, Ph.D., University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
This webinar presents a method for using visual models to help composite aircraft component repair personnel make better decisions. Designers employ both structured and unstructured decision processes. Normative decision processes typically prevail during the early phases of product development, design and construction.
The Manufacturing & Design Division would like to thank Dr. Salil Desai for his Webinar titled "Calcium Phosphate Blended Polymer Coatings for Biomedical Implants". This Webinar was presented on March 24, 2015 and it is available on the
M&D division web site.
