SAE International to develop standards for natural gas vehicles

With forecasts that demand for natural gas as a transportation fuel will grow substantially over the next six yearsreaching more than 2 billion ft per day by 2020the SAE International Truck and Bus Council has launched an effort to develop relevant SAE standards. Today, most natural gas fuel consumption is concentrated in the heavy-duty trucking industry. The use of natural gas as a transportation fuel is extremely important, said Ron Eickelman, President, Agility Fuel Systems. All indicators point to an increase in the number of vehicles fueled by natural gas. To achieve universal levels of safety, reliability, and performance, there is no question that codes and improved standards are needed now!
SAE Update

The Cummins Westport ISX12 G natural gas engine is factory-built by Cummins and is used in a wide range of heavy-duty applications.

February 2014

At the SAE 2013 Commercial Vehicle Engineering Congress, held in October in Rosemont, IL, industry participants in a Blue Ribbon Panel on natural gas were unanimous in their belief that standards will help the industry to more quickly embrace natural-gas-based technologies. In response to the heavy-duty trucking industry need, the SAE In-

ternational Truck and Bus Council launched an effort to establish relevant SAE standards. All interested parties involved in natural gas standardization are invited to contribute to this development through active participation. For more information, please contact Jana Wright at jwright@sae.org.

Top bidder takes delivery of first 2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport

The first Cadillac CTS Vsport produced was delivered Dec. 19 to the high bidder in an auction to benefit the SAE Foundations support of science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM, education programs. Tim and Pat Whited of Nederland, CO, took delivery of the new twin turbocharged sedan at McCaddon Cadillac in Boulder. They purchased the car Aug. 9 at Barrett-Jacksons Hot Nights Car Auction in Reno, NV. All proceeds of the $120,000 sale went to the SAE Foundation. The Whiteds also received a performance driving school package as part of their winning bid. The choice to purchase the vehicle was a combination of this being a great opportunity to support the SAE Foundation and a great opportunity to obtain the first 2014 CTS, said

Closing the gap in STEM education for minorities

As the U.S. celebrates Black History Month, the SAE Foundation has chosen to take a look at the significant disparity that persists in academia and industry among minorities. The dawning of the 21st century has brought with it a rise in the minority proportion of the U.S. population. Minorities comprise more than 38% of our overall population, and that number is expected to increase over the next decade with the fastest growing minority group being Hispanics, with an increase of more than 69%. Unfortunately, this growth is lost in STEM disciplines, where minority groups are underrepresented compared to their fraction of the population. Even though minorities have increased their share of degrees awarded in the sciences, poor preparation in science and mathematics is a major factor limiting the appeal of science and engineering to even larger numbers of these groups. A study by the National Action Council for MinoriSAE Update

ties in Engineering Inc. on U.S. engineering degrees found that AfricanAmericans, American Indians, and Latinos account for 34% of the total U.S. population (ages 18 to 24), but earn only 12% of all undergraduate degrees in engineering. In fact, the share of engineering degrees earned by those minority groups declines at higher educational levels: 12% bachelors, 7% masters, and 3% doctorates.

Created in partnership with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), the Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK) offers inner-city youth the opportunity to participate in a three-week science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) summer camp. Camps were held in 10 U.S. cities in 2013.

The SAE Foundation seeks to provide a network of resources, mentors, and real-world opportunities to help develop a workforce that not only reflects our nations evolving demographic but also maintains our global competitiveness. The SAE Foundation accomplishes this by engaging and nurturing minorities with special program initiatives that reach all students regardless of school funding and cultural concerns.
SAE Update

These initiatives use SAE Internationals A World In Motion (AWIM) curriculum to engage students in science and engineering at a critical time in their development: learning years K-8. AWIM challenges students to work in teams to solve problems and create products while discovering the underlying math and science principles involved in the process.
