Papers/presentations should be applications oriented, contribute to state-of-the-art technology with conclusions supported by technical data, and be devoid of commercialism. Authors should prepare their papers in metric (SI) units.
Prospective authors are asked to submit electronic abstracts of 300-500 words for consideration including a tentative paper title, author(s) name(s), mailing address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers. In addition, each abstract should:
- State the significance of the work to the progress of relevant engineering areas.
- Indicate whether the paper has ever been presented before.
- State the main conclusions of the proposed paper.
- Summarize the process by which the conclusions were reached.
Abstracts are submitted on-line via the SAE website.
Upon submission, you will receive an automatic reply with your tracking number.
