BRTD Minutes of 11/14/11 Page 2 Item 1 – Agenda - The agenda was approved and is attached as Appendix A. Item 2 – Minutes of Previous Meeting - The minutes of the June 13, 2011 meeting were approved as written. Item 3 – Reports 3a) Chair and Director’s Report – Jack Lloyd and Michael Tinkleman provided a joint presentation to the BRTD members that provided background information for the afternoon strategic planning session. The focus of the presentation was on both external and internal factors which will impact the CRTD as well a status report on current and proposed activities in infrastructure assessment, nanomanufacturing and water. A copy of their viewgraphs is attached as Appendix B.

3b) Financial Report – Norma Johnston provided a report on the CRTD approved budget for FY2012 and for the actual expenses for FY2012 which ended on June 30, 2011. In FY 2011, the CRTD’s net expenses were $17.7K better than its authorized subsidy. The authorized subsidy for FY 2012 is $ 119.1K. A copy of the financial presentation is attached as Appendix C. A spreadsheet summarizing the balances in the CRTD custodian accounts is attached as Appendix D. 3c) K&C Update – Michael Ireland provided an update on the Knowledge and Communities Sector including a recent staff realignment which brings K&C, Institutes, and Events Management under a new structure called Engineering Research, Technology, and Development (ERTD). He reported that Noha El-Ghobashy has moved to the Public Affairs and Outreach Sector to lead a new department on engineering global development (EGD). Iana Aranda has also left ERTD to work under Noha in EGD. Michael Tinkleman and Raj Manchanda, Director of Emerging Technologies, will now report directly to Mike. He also reported that a draft reorganization plan is being developed to separate technical units from communities (divisions from sections) to provide more support to both. A copy of his presentation is attached as Appendix E. 3d) Edison Patent Award – Ali Khounsary reported that the Thomas A. Edison Patent Award was not awarded in 2011 since there were no nominations. The award committee plans to increase its marketing effort to raise awareness of the award. The award webpage on the CRTD site has been updated to include bios and photos or sketches of the winning patents and newsletter articles are planned. BRTD members were encouraged to pass information on the award to individuals who hold patents, however, individuals may not self-nominate. Item 4 – New Business 4a) Membership Appointments – The BRTD approved membership appointment and reappointments to the Research Committees on Gas Pipeline Safety; Nanomanufacturing Technology; Power Plant and Environmental Chemistry, Mechanics of Jointed Structures; Sustainable Energy; Sustainable Products and Processes; Water Management Technology; and Water & Steam in Thermal Systems. A list of the approved appointments can be found in Appendix F.

4b) Nominations for MAL on BRTD – BRTD members approved the appointments of I.S. Jawahir, Julie Kulik, and Sriram Somasundaram as members-at-large on the BRTD.

BRTD Minutes of 11/14/11 Page 3 Item 5 - Strategic Planning The BRTD conducted a strategic planning session during the afternoon. Ken Balkey, Judith Todd, and Bilal Ayyub presented a draft proposal on infrastructure assessment and management using risk, predictive, and early warning technologies. The initial phase would be to convene a workshop to identify infrastructure needs. The BRTD endorsed the concept of the proposal which will be revised based on comments from the BRTD and to include a 10-year vision. Dr. Lloyd asked Julie Kulik, an early career engineer (ECE), how the BRTD could communicate with other ECEs through new social media. Julie recommended the CRTD create groups on Facebook and Linked In. She also suggested adding an ECLIPSE Intern to the BRTD. Ken Balkey noted that he would like to add ECEs to the infrastructure assessment project team. It was also recommended that each of the research committees add ECEs. Ms. Kulik was asked to develop a plan on how to proceed with this communication effort. Jack Lloyd led a discussion on peer reviews and the process. He noted that there is not just one process for peer reviews and the process is dependent on the type of review that the client needs. He noted that he sees value in keeping the Peer Review Committee on Energy and Environment but new members must be identified as it is currently a committee of one. It may be beneficial to identify candidates for membership on the committee from organizations such as the National Academy of Sciences, DOE, etc. Shahid Chaudhry of the California Energy Commission and Bob Goldstein of EPRI discussed ways in which ASME can participate in water activities. Mr. Chaudhry suggested that ASME partner with water organizations and federal/state agencies in the area of membrane improvements and recycled water. Bob Goldstein reported on the EPRI reorganization and that water is now a cross-cutting issue. Among the water issues are advanced cooling tower technologies and advanced water treatment. He noted that ASME can take the lead in activities related to Heat Transfer and Generation and noted that EPRI sometimes contracts for independent peer reviews. Joe Beaman provided an updated on emerging technologies initiatives within K&C. In addition to the two interdisciplinary councils already created (Nanotechnology and the Energy-Water-Nexus), two new initiatives are being explored. These are thermal energy storage led by Yogi Goswami and Integrated Building Systems (smart buildings) led by Jorge Gonzalez. Dr. Beaman sees the BRTD as helping to identify the most promising technologies. BRTD members also discussed a suggestion that the CRTD should act as a think tank although not in the traditional sense. CRTD could organize ad hoc groups around specific areas leveraging ASME’s reputation as a neutral party facilitator and drawing on the industrial perspective of the membership. Several research committee business plans were submitted to the BRTD. These are attached as Appendix G.

Item 6 - Next Meeting The next meeting of the Board on Research and Technology Development will be scheduled in conjunction with the 2012 Summer Annual Meeting in Montreal, Canada. The BRTD meeting is tentatively scheduled for Monday, June 4, 2012.

CRTD Budget • CRTD budget is part of K&C Operating Budget

• CRTD budget consists of two components – Costs for the department (administration) operations (2 full-

time staff – Director & Manager, 1 part-time student, & associated indirect costs such as rent, phone, G&A, etc.)

– Externally funded research projects

• CRTD required to cover half of department expenses from net project revenue ~$250K

• Typically 1/3 of CRTD fully burdened staff time (Director & Manager, Research) is utilized to manage research projects and is billed to the externally funded CRTD research projects

3

CRTD BUDGET continued

Externally Funded CRTD Research Projects. Project budgets include:

• Fully burdened ASME staff hours. Funds credited to CRTD Department Administration General Ledger account – “CRTD Revenue”

• Pass through funds for items such as consultants/subcontractors, honoraria and travel for peer review panel members (varies by research project)

• Indirect Charges on Pass through funds (which are credited to CRTD Department Admin. General Ledger account) – “CRTD Revenue”
