AIAA Topic: Continuing Operations Results 4

AIAA Topic: Membership Troubling Trend – 25% decrease in 10 years

AIAA Topic: AIAA Governance AIAA Governance was established 50 years ago with the merger of the American Rocket Society and the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences Four main Elements  Articles of Incorporation: The legal establishment of AIAA as a 501(c3) in the state of New York. – AIAA has to follow laws of New York that relate to non-profit operations  Constitution: Outline of the structure and some level of policies. – Very prescriptive and detailed operational information included – Need a quorum of 15% of membership to vote to change Constitution. – Of those who vote (15% or more) two-thirds, must vote yes, for a change to carry  By-Laws: Outline of some policies, operational information and roles and responsibilities – Board can change the By-Laws – Some overlap between content in By-Laws and content in Constitution  Policy and Procedures: – Operating information including process and guidelines – Can be changed by Board or appropriate committees depending on the level of the policies and procedures 6

AIAA Topic: AIAA Governance An Amended Constitution was proposed on the 2016 ballot Over 4400 members voted or 20.7% of the membership voted.  Exceeded the required 15% threshold. Amended Constitution passed with 91.8% approving of the change The changes will not be implemented immediately  From Jim Albaugh’s letter…  The Board will be discussing a transition plan at the June meeting.  It is likely that we will slowly, over a period of a few years, move into the new system.  Jim Maser will guide AIAA through the transition. – He will continue to communicate frequently—and be transparent about—the progress of the evolution.  The Governance Project webpage will continue to be updated. 7

AIAA Topic: Overview of TC/PC Clean Sheet Analysis SciTech 2015 TAC Meeting  Asked to look at look at a “Clean Sheet” of the TC/PC structure  “We need to look at the problem from the standpoint of what the new model SHOULD be to best serve the members and the Institute. I fear that if we spend too much time gathering information from the TC Chairs on what IS, we will regress to what was.” – Dave Riley  Based on anecdotal feedback to Sandy and request by TC to adjust 50 member limit  Monthly team telecons Initial Way Forward (lots of scope concern)  Identified initial questions and issues  Collected current data on TCs/PCs - not spending too much time on this task, but still is a necessary step toward understanding the problem  Anticipate periodic checks with TAC  Possible SciTech Workshop on subject  TAC Health Assessment worksheet? 8 member analysis team TAC Workshop for SciTech 8

AIAA Topic: TC/PC Clean Sheet Analysis Team Lawrence “Robbie” Robertson Air Force Research Lab David DressNASA Betty GuillieAIAA Wayne HurwitzNorthrop Grumman James A. KeenanUS Army Jeffrey R. LaubeAerospace Corporation Thomas E. McLaughlinAir Force Academy John D. Schmisseur UTSI 9 Huge Thanks to Betty for Pulling Together the TC/PC Data

AIAA Topic: TC/PC Trends Membership  TCs – Current Membership: 2516 people total (76% members, 7% associate, 13% int’l, 4% alumni) – Size: Average 35 people per TC, (16 out of 71 TCs at or close to max membership level, 10 are below 25 members) – Turnover: Roughly 10% - High as 16% (Applied Aero), Low as 0% (Aircraft Ops, Info & C2, Legal, Mircogravity, Sensors and Info Fusion, Software, Robotics, Space Logistics) – New Member Rejections (Sorry letters): 65 out of 422 requests (15 %), 82 out of 422 accepted to other TCs (19%)  PCs – Current Membership: 387 people total (82% members, 1% associate, 17% int’l), (68% are AIAA members) – Size: Average 35 people per PC, (Big as 64, Small as 13) – No New Member Data Available Awards (Across 71 TC, very few PC awards)  ~40 National-level awards  ~31 Best paper awards  ~10 Student awards Papers  ~4500 TC-papers, plus ~350 PC papers 10

AIAA Topic: Trends by Groups 11 *Only able to validate SciTech Paper numbers – did not have final programs for AVIATION or SPACE ** Based on notes in spreadsheet and “no papers or awards” sections Papers*Awards** Aerospace Design & Structures9%16% Aerospace Sciences53%32% Aircraft and Atmospheric Systems6%11% Information Systems3%7% Engineering and Technology Management 1%5% Propulsion and Energy15%22% Space & Missiles6% Program Committees7%1%

AIAA Topic: Other TC/PC Trends Process  Working Groups – Used extensively by Applied Aero, Ground Test, Fluids and GN&C – “Friends of the TC” used by Structures, Structural Dynamics and others to help with paper review workload  Each TC does things very differently Other Activities (Examples)  Adaptive Structures: Involved with ASME; produced education kits as outreach to local students  Air Breathing Propulsion Systems Integration: Published standards  Design Engineering: Involved with Design/Build/Fly competitions  Hybrid Rocket: Short Course  Intelligent Systems: Roadmap for Intelligent Systems in Aerospace is a major initiative  Society and Aerospace Technology: Booth at Tucson Comic Con.  Space Architecture: Book being published by Springer  Spacecraft Structures: Launched a Wiki page on High Strain Composite's; 2 AIAA books 12

AIAA Topic: TC/PC Analysis Initial Conclusions Health  TC “One-third” Trend – Very Healthy (33%): TCs are highly-active supporting papers, awards and TC-unique activities – Good Health (33%): TCs are in good health and providing good support to the Institute at a moderate level – No data (33%): TCs have not submitted report in awhile or are struggling  PCs: Seem to be either active or with no data on activity 13

AIAA Topic: Possible SciTech Workshop Team will look at these as well Task One: What Should TCs/PCs be Doing  “Requirements” step  What do they do now?  Brainstorm on what could be done Task Two: What Should be the Structure to Support Activities  Other professional organizations Technical structure  Governance of these group (start-up and sunset of organizations)  Agility of different models 14

TAC Topic: Forums The dates and locations for the upcoming forums.  AIAA Science and Technology Forum and Exposition 9-13 January 2017 Gaylord Texan Grapevine, TX  The AIAA Defense and Security Forum and Exposition April 2017 Laurel Maryland Kossiakoff Center at Johns-Hopkins Univ. Applied Physics Laboratory  AIAA Aviation and Aeronautics Forum and Exposition June 2017 Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel Denver, CO  AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum and Exposition July 2016 Salt Palace Salt Lake City, UT  AIAA Space and Astronautics Forum and Exposition September2016 Long Beach Convention Center Long Beach, CA 15

TAC Topic: 2016 and 2017 Venue Location SPACE  2016: September, Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach, CA  2017: September, Orlando Hyatt Regency 16

TAC Topic: Virtual Product Innovation Initiative (VPII) TAC seeks ideas for experiments to explore innovative concepts for virtual content through the Virtual Products Innovation Initiative (VPII). The VPII has three goals:  Obtain data on demographics of participants, their satisfaction with various virtual products, and feedback to enhance product value  Gain experience in organizing and executing virtual products, events, and activities  Explore potential new products of unproven value The Technical Committees and Program Committees (TC/PC) are invited to submit proposals for virtual experiments to achieve those goals. 17

TAC Topic: VPII Proposal Outline Concept  Event type: State whether the product/event is a workshop, mini-conference, etc.  Intended audience: Identify the target attendee community  Strategic objective: Describe how the event supports one or more AIAA Strategic Imperatives (develop and expand our community, strengthen our existing community, deliver exceptional results).  Attendee experience: Describe how attendees will register, submit content (if applicable), and interact before, during and after the event. 18

TAC Topic: VPII Proposal Outline Implementation  IT resources: Describe social media and IT resources to be used. List both organizer resources and attendee minimum requirements. Assume AIAA IT resources will not be available.  Work plan: Describe work to be done to organize and execute the event (e.g., a work break-down structure). Identify who will do which task. Assume AIAA staff will not be available.  Data collection: Describe how attendee demographic and satisfaction data will be collected.  Advertising: Describe how the target audience will be informed of the product/event. 19

TAC Topic: VPII Proposal Outline Expenses and Schedule  Expenses: Provide rough cost estimate and describe basis of estimate (BoE) tied to IT resource needs and work plan.  Schedule: Provide timeline of major milestones toward implementation and for providing deliverables (see Section 4) to TAC. Proposals may involve virtual delivery of  known product types or completely new events, activities, or products.  Known product types include workshops, courses, and pre-recorded content (e.g., pod-casts).  TAC encourages exploration of new product types directed to new audiences. 20

TAC Topic: VPII Two successful proposals from ASG so far  Mars Airplane – – Peggy Hayes is the POC for this  AIAA Short Course Hypersonic Lectures – 5aTuZ4gGTCZ-PWx3JUCFjyk 5aTuZ4gGTCZ-PWx3JUCFjyk – Eric Silk is the POC for this 21

TAC Topic: Forum Structure 22 Executive Steering Committee Forum Technical Chair Forum Organizing Committee Led by Forum General Chair Representatives from TCs/PCs Representatives from co-located symposia, workshops Integration Chair Public Policy Chair Education Chair International Chair Member Engagement Chair Etc. Technical Program Committee Led by Forum Technical Chairs (formerly Conference General Chair)  Forum Technical Chairs from AS, ADS, and IS Groups  Chairs sit on Forum Organizing Committee Representatives from other societies (ASCE, ASME, etc.) 4-6 high-level representatives from industry, gov’t, academia

23 ASG Chair Rotation and Schedule for SciTech & AVIATION Note: The same person does not need to be a TCs appointee/volunteer for all 3 years of the SciTech cycle. Aviation 2016: LaTunia Melton (FD), Jim Guglielmo (APA), ITAR: Katya Casper SciTech 2017 : Richard Ruff (MS), Subrata Roy (PDL), Eric Silk (TP) Aviation 2017: Jim Guglielmo (APA), Tom Wayman (GT), ITAR: Brian McGrath (APA) SciTech 2018 : Subrata Roy (PDL), Eric Silk (TP), ? (FD; Need by January 2017) Need TC Discipline leads for SciTech 2018 by January ASG Topic: ASG Technical Forum Chairs

ASG Topic: ITAR Sessions ITAR Sessions are now supported at AVIATION and P&E  U.S. Only  Likely more relevant to Government and Industry members Marginal success at AV15 New implementation for AV16 AIAA does have ITAR competition from JANNAF and NSMMS  JANNAF overlap with P&E  NSMMS overlap with Thermophysics TC and conference 24

ASG Topic: ITAR Sessions Pseudo committee Chaired by Peggy Hayes (ASG ITAR Lead) Technical Chair  Katya Casper (FD) AV 16  Brian McGrath (APA) AV 17 Volunteers from 7 TCs to review papers and chair 7 sessions (Please ask TC members for those interested.)  FD, GT, MVCE, PDL, TP, APA, MS Need ASG ITAR Technical Chair for AV18 by next June  Maybe one of the current ITAR volunteers  Need TC chairs to query their TCs for interest and possible volunteers (one per TC would be nice) 25

TC Topic: Health Assessment How healthy is your TC? TC/PC Self Assessment  otFolder=%2fSC%2fTAC%2fShared%20Documents%2fTAC%20Forms&Folde rCTID=&View=%7bB2E73755%2d3750%2d4BDB%2d8012%2d454F218450F8 %7d otFolder=%2fSC%2fTAC%2fShared%20Documents%2fTAC%20Forms&Folde rCTID=&View=%7bB2E73755%2d3750%2d4BDB%2d8012%2d454F218450F8 %7d  Search for the file “TAC_F_Committee Self Assessment_V02” Major items  Does your TC have a Charter?  Does your TC have a written manual or reference document?  A written process is needed if you select an award (e.g. best student paper, Aerodynamics or Thermophysics award).  How do members and others know what your TC is doing? Annual reports and rosters to Betty, Director, and Deputies. Thanks. 26

TC Topic: General Reminders Chair-Elect  For new chairs, TCs need to select a vice-chair in a timely fashion  There are two accepted practices for chair-elect timelines (see TAC_P_Chairs Manual_V01) TAC_P_Chairs Manual_V01 – May need to examine “January” elections for the next AIAA year  TC Chair position is for 2 years Member Responsibilities  Maintain current AIAA Membership (must be an AIAA member)  Recruit new TC members  Submit names for AIAA awards  Submit names for AIAA elected offices  Propose membership upgrades  Propose session papers for AIAA journals 27

TC Topic: General Reminders Technical Committee size  Maximum of 50 members  35 US Members  International members  Associate members 34 years old or younger  Alumni members  Must get approval of ASG Director or Dep. Director to extend TC member beyond 3 year term  Cost to AIAA when TC meeting attendance goes up – Dinner cost – Audio Visual (AV) and speaker system – Reason for limitation on number of “visitors” to TC meetings.  Number of dinners per year is still limited Annual Reports and Rosters due end of January

29 TC Topic: TC Funds TAC Group Directors given annual funding for FY16  Current budget is $2600 – Must request in advance – Not for recurring costs.  AIAA finances are starting to improve – Probably need another year of data before significant changes are proposed

Questions & Comments General Request  Dave Riley: So I have this recommendation, that all of the TAC Directors be directed to tell their TCs to actively quiet their tables if necessary at the awards luncheon. If it is important enough for the awards to be given at the luncheon, then it is important for them to get involved to ensure that an appropriate environment is realized! Making it solely the MCs responsibility to quite the crowd is obviously not working, so we need the TC members to assist in quieting the crowd. Other topics? 30
