Conference to Journal (C2J) Initiative
We are pleased to announce our continued program of offering the Conference-to-Journal (C2J) initiative. During the IMECE paper review process, if a paper is deemed to be journal quality by the reviewers, it undergoes a screening and second review by the journals for consideration. If accepted by the respective journal, the paper is then converted to a technical presentation for the conference and the author(s) of the paper must still follow the Presentation Requirements for IMECE for the paper to be finally accepted in the journal, wherein authors of papers that are ranked as high-quality by the IMECE reviewers are given the opportunity to have their conference paper published in an ASME Journal instead of in the conference proceedings. Journals that participated in 2024 (IMECE and other ASME conferences) included the Journal of Medical Diagnostics and Therapy, ASME Letters in Dynamic Systems and Control, Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, Journal of Vibration and Acoustics, Journal of Fluids Engineering, Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering, Journal of Micro and Nano-Manufacturing, and others!
The ASME Rising Stars of Mechanical Engineering Celebration and Showcase
The ASME Rising Stars of Mechanical Engineering Celebration and Showcase at the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) is a prestigious event designed to honor early-career researchers who have received recognition through NSF CAREER, ONR YIP, AFOSR YIP, DARPA YFA, and NIH New Innovator Awards. This reception-style celebration will take place on Tuesday, November 18 and commences with a brief introduction, followed by a poster session during which Principal Investigators (PIs) are invited to present their innovative work. Subsequently, a networking period allows PIs to connect with their peers and other professionals in the field. In preparation for the event, registered PIs and their projects gain exposure through the ASME IMECE website, which features their photographs and bios. At the reception, each PI is awarded the "ASME Rising Star of Mechanical Engineering" certificate, recognizing their contributions and achievements. In 2024, IMECE had 74 Rising Star participants and many program managers in attendance. This provides an unparalleled opportunity for PIs to network with their program managers, engage with the community, and receive acknowledgment for their accomplishments in a supportive and celebratory environment.
