Lawrence “Larry” Kaufman

Applications are now being accepted for the TMS Foundation’s newest scholarship opportunity, the Kaufman CALPHAD Scholarship. This award recognizes the contributions of the late Lawrence “Larry” Kaufman to computational thermodynamics and its applications. The scholarship was established in 2014 through an endowment from CALPHAD Inc. and the efforts of TMS member Zi-Kui Liu. Liu is CALPHAD Inc. president, CALPHAD journal editor in chief, and professor of materials science and engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. The Kaufman CALPHAD Scholarship is open to all full-time sophomore or junior undergraduate student members of Material Advantage who are majoring in metallurgy or materials science and

university. Relevance of the applicant’s coursework will be considered when determining an award recipient. Applicants must submit a personal statement that describes any accomplishments, community involvement, or other relevant activities outside of school, as well as career plans

Kaufman CALPHAD Scholarship will be awarded at the TMS 2017 Annual Meeting & Exhibition in San Diego, California. The scholar will receive $1,000 and an additional $500 travel stipend to attend the annual meeting. Kaufman is considered by many to be the father of computational thermodynamics

and the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHase Diagrams) technique, according to Liu.

said. “His vision and dedication enabled

of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) and the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI).” Kaufman was dedicated to bringing computer coupling of phase diagrams and thermochemistry to the mainstream

the ranks at ManLabs Inc. in Cambridge, Massachusetts—going from a research scientist in 1958 to president in 1985—he continued working on phase equilibria, often in collaboration with William

alloy phases and supporter of Kaufman’s ideas. Eventually those ideas gained broad recognition after a session on the calculation of phase diagrams as a part of a National Science Foundation Phase Equilibria Workshop in 1975. Kaufman founded CALPHAD Inc. in the same year to promote the CALPHAD technique. In 1977, the international research journal, CALPHAD, was established and Kaufman served as the inaugural editor in chief. Kaufman earned his Sc.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1955 and joined TMS one year later, when the society was still a branch of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME).

50 years, Kaufman was also a member of TMS’s Legion of Honor. In 2002, Kaufman was honored with the William Hume-Rothery Award, a TMS pinnacle award, and presented the lecture “Calphad Thermodynamics” at the 2002 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition’s William Hume-Rothery Memorial Symposium. Applicants for the Kaufman CALPHAD Scholarship must submit a completed TMS scholarship application, up to three recommendations, a personal statement, and a transcript with current GPA to Bryn Simpson, TMS Member Services Specialist, at bsimpson@tms.org.

Iver Anderson, U.S. Department of Energy Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University, U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus (PA-12), Ernest Levert, Lockheed Martin

Corporation, and Suveen Mathaudhu, University of California, Riverside, participated in the September Materials Information Luncheon in

Washington, D.C., hosted by TMS.

TMS Discusses STEM Workforce Issues with Congressional Staff TMS addressed the issue of forging a more diverse and better equipped science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce with more than 40 staff members from U.S. Senate and House

Information Luncheon: Building the STEM Workforce for a Robust Economy on September 16. The event, held at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C., featured introductory comments from U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus (PA-12), a member of the bipartisan STEM Education Caucus, and was moderated by Iver Anderson, TMS member, senior metallurgist, Ames Laboratory, and adjunct professor, Iowa State University. “I’m grateful to TMS and other organizations that encourage our young people to seriously consider pursuing STEM education and careers and to stick to their goals,” Rothfus said. “If our country is going to continue to be an innovation leader, we need all the help we can get from people who are passionate about getting our future workforce engaged and trained.” The luncheon featured presentations by Ernest Levert, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Suveen Mathaudhu, University of California, Riverside. Both have extensive experience in working to inform and inspire the next generation about opportunities in science and engineering.

Mathaudhu, a TMS member, is an assistant professor at the University of California, Riverside and an expert on the science of superheroes as depicted in comic books and movies. He is the 2015 recipient of the American Association for Engineering Societies’ Norm Augustine Award for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Communications. He was recognized for his efforts in using pop culture and other nontraditional means to generate excitement about STEM. Mathaudhu was also the volunteer curator for TMS’s Comic-tanium™: The Super

Materials of the Superheroes exhibit, which was also discussed as part of the luncheon. Levert, Lockheed Martin Fellow, has likewise received multiple awards, including the Lockheed Martin NOVA Award for Outstanding Leadership and the 2015 Black Engineer of the Year Award. “Our TMS Materials Information

introductory remarks on encouraging and supporting

the next generation of STEM-trained workers.

Luncheon clearly communicated that STEM education is vital to U.S. innovation and competitiveness, especially for refreshing and reinforcing our aging workforce in current and emerging high tech jobs,” said Anderson, a member of the TMS Public and Governmental Affairs Committee. “We also made the case that it is critical for our new STEM-trained innovators to include many more women and underrepresented minorities, pulling these new engineers, skilled technologists, and scientists from our full population pool into successful careers.” The Materials Information Luncheon is one of many ways that TMS works to promote good science and engineering in government policy.

AAES Releases Engineering Competency Model

The Engineering Competency Model, released by the American Association of Engineering Societies (AAES) in July, was created as a guideline for developing the engineering workforce. Funded by

a United Engineering Foundation grant, the AAES Lifelong Learning Working Group partnered with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA) to prepare this free public resource. The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME), of which TMS is a member society, is a member of AAES. Jeffrey Fergus, TMS Professional Development Director and professor and associate dean at Auburn University, was one of ten subject matter experts who collaborated with the ETA, providing

The model is intended to help educators, employers, human resources professionals, engineering professionals, and current and future engineers understand the skills that are necessary for succeeding in the workplace. It is also meant to be a living template—engineering organizations are encouraged to not only adopt the model, but also to build on it by adding more

Engineering Competency Model has the potential to unite the profession on the fundamental requirements that engineers will need to solve the global challenges we are facing,” said Jerry Carter, chief

three tiers are foundational, showing personal, academic, and workplace skills that are common to the profession. Tiers
