Technical Societies in CNY
Here are a few of the technical societies or associations in CNY that ASQ-Syracuse has had joint meetings with:
ASTD American Society for Training and Development The Central New York Chapter of ASTD connects learning and performance professionals throughout the region and contributes to the growth of the profession. IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers The Syracuse Section of IEEE is part of the world's largest professional engineering society. We are here to serve the needs of our members with technical and professional meetings and to help our community through participation in development of international standards which improve both safety and reliability.
The Syracuse Section has Chapters of the IEEE Technical Societies in Aerospace and Communications, Computers, Microwave Theory and Techniques and Antennas and Propagation, Circuits and Systems, Power Engineering and Industry Applications, and Engineering in Medicine and BiologyMACNY Manufacturers Association of CNY MACNY advocates for the growth and development of New York’s manufacturing sector, a critical component of a vibrant New York economy. Founded in 1913, MACNY is the largest association of manufacturers in New York State and one of the oldest manufacturers associations in the nation. PMI Project Management Institute - Syracuse Chapter The Syracuse Chapter of PMI is an organization dedicated to improving and advancing project management. Syracuse Chamber of Commerce The mission of the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce is to create an economic climate that enhances the growth, prosperity and quality of life for all who live and work in Greater Syracuse. SWE Society of Women Engineers The Society of Women Engineers (SWE), founded in 1950, is a not-for-profit educational and service organization. SWE is the driving force that establishes engineering as a highly desirable career aspiration for women. SWE empowers women to succeed and advance in those aspirations and be recognized for their life-changing contributions and achievements as engineers and leaders. TACNY Technology Alliance of CNY The Technology Alliance of Central New York exists to enhance and facilitate the development, growth, and advancement of education, awareness and historical appreciation of technology within the Central New York Community. Through its programs and support efforts, the Technology Alliance seeks to further serve members, as well as educational groups and institutions with similar missions, and be the key link among technical societies in Central New York. Toastmasters International Toastmasters International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization based in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. Through club activities and conferences, Toastmasters helps its members improve their communication and leadership skills while fostering self-confidence and personal growth.
If you know of another CNY chapter of a professional society or association that we could have a joint meeting with please contact any of the officers listed on the Contact page.

Reading Material for Engineering Statistics
A collection of 30+ papers by our own Jorge Romeu.
From their home page: "The DEN web site and companion discussion list were created in 1994 as a focal point for sharing resources, discussions, learning, and research on the Deming Philosophy. We currently have more than 1,000 papers, essays, files, and programs; as well as more than 1 million archived discussion list messages freely accessible in this web site."
The Center for the New Engineer was established in 1993. It's intent wast to help engineers "learn complex systems using Internet tools as a technological support." In 1998, the Center for the New Engineer became The HyperLearning Center, specializing in Web-based learning methodologies.
The Juran Institute provides research, consulting, and training facilities in the field of managing for quality. The Juran Institute server provided details of the company and its training products and consulting services. In addition, there are some 30 full-text articles from the Institute freely available, and a further number of articles by Dr. Juran in Microsoft Word format which may be freely downloaded. Workshop details, links to other quality sites, and contact information are also provided.
Model-Based Manufacturing Integration: A Paradigm For Virtual Manufacturing Systems
Full text of paper published in Computers Ind. Engng Vol. 27, Nos 1-4, pp. 357-360, 1994 by Parks CM, Koonce DA, Rabelo LC, Judd RP, Sauter JA. The abstract of the paper is as follows; "Current manufacturing system design methodologies produce multiple models of the eventual manufacturing system. These models reflect either the designers’ view of some subsystem, like materials handling, some level of abstraction, or some developmental stage in the design of the system. These models serve to break the complex system design into smaller, more manageable sized problems. This paper makes a case for the need to integrate these models before the physical system is constructed."
Founded in 1975, the Design Management Institute (DMI) has become the leading resource and international authority on design management. DMI has earned a reputation worldwide as a multifaceted resource, providing invaluable know-how, tools and training through its conferences, seminars, membership program, and publications. DMI is a nonprofit organization that seeks to heighten awareness of design as an essential part of business strategy.
How to control a lean manufacturing system
A lean manufacturing system is one which meets high throughput or service demands with very little inventory. This document considers two control methods, kanban and CONWIP (Constant Work-In-Progress) in this context, and then presents a hybrid control policy where the CONWIP control is supplemented with secondary kanban cells.
Everyday Practical Electronics' Basic Soldering Guide
An introductory text to the technique of soldering electronic components, the Basic Soldering Guide is condensed from a series of articles originally published in Everyday Practical Electronics magazine in 1996 and 1997. The guide also includes a color photo gallery.
