About
CIE-USA
Chinese Institute of Engineers, CIS-USA, is a professional non-profit and non-political
organization founded in1917 in New York by a group of talented and forward-looking Chinese
engineers who graduated from American colleges and worked in American railroads and other
various industries. On July 15, 1953 the United States Chapter was re-established as an
independent entity known as CIE-New York.
It was formally registered in the State of New
York in 1963 as CIE-New York, Inc., a nonprofit engineering organization. In 1977, the institute
was renamed as CIE-USA and its activities engaged members from all parts of the United States.
Chinese-American Engineers in the US have played a significant role in the rapid growth of
technology and communication throughout the United States. In order to coordinate the
engineering and scientific professional activities and organizations in the major metropolitan
regions in the US, the CIE-USA National Council was formed on November 8, 1986. The
CIE-USA National Council consists of 6 area chapters: the Greater New York Metropolitan Area,
San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Dallas/Fort Worth, New Mexico and OCEESA. The total
membership is around 10,000 nationwide.

AAEOY 2008 Award Event
The AAEOY award is presented each year as part of the US National Engineers Week to honor
outstanding Asian American engineers in academia, public service, and industries. It provides an
unique national platform to recognize Asian American role models for their accomplishment and
increase the awareness of Asian Americans’ contribution to the society. Because of the
commitment to diversity and innovation, this event has been very well received nationwide by
corporate, community, and academic. Since this year CIE-USA is the co-host of 2008 E-Week
with IBM, the AAEOY event has been one of the focal points among all E-Week events.
The 2008 AAEOY was hosted by CIE-DFW chapter on March 1st, 2008 at Richardson, TX.
This was the 7th AAEOY Award and returned to its origin, DFW chapter, as the beginning of the
second generation. The whole event has been divided into 5 different stages with special focal
within each stage:
1) The first part started with Awardee dinner hosted by Lockheed Martin after the Lockheed
Martin DFW Aeronautics tour on Friday afternoon, February 28th. Mr. Emmanuel
Zulueta from Lockheed Martin received a special award from AAEOY Chairman, Yi
Zhao, for his support to this event. Many awardees enjoyed both the tour and the dinner
as the pre-award event being kicked off.
2) On the morning of the event date, March 1st, DFW chapter hosted a Dallas city tour for
the Awardees and their family members.
3) A Special VIP reception sponsored by Northrop Grumman was hosted prior to the Award
Banquet. More than 200 special guests joined this delicately arranged reception.
4) Award Banquet was the focal point of the whole event. 16 awardees along with their
families and the Keynote Speaker, Mr. Ralph Heath, Executive Vice President,
Aeronautics of Lockheed Martin Corporation, are among the 600 guests enjoyed a special
night with warm and upbeat atmosphere. There’re many touching moments while the
Awardees gave their speeches after receiving the award; their accomplishment within
their career and the contribution to the society are far beyond this award can represent.
5) The first time ever post-Award entertainment, the Casino Night, was hosted to extend the
enjoyment and hospitality provided by the host chapter. The relaxed and joyful
arrangement has marked a perfect completion for this exciting event.
The 2008 AAEOY event had received strong support from government, corporate, academic and
community sectors. The special messages from President George W. Bush and Secretary of
Labor, Ms. Elaine Chao were among many others to support this meaningful gathering. Our

METS 2008
Forty-three years ago, in 1964, then President of the Chinese Institute of Engineers (CIE) Mr.
Lee Kuo-Ting, and then Secretary General of CIE Mr. Fei Hua, were contemplating ways for
tapping into the pool of talented Chinese-American engineering and technology professionals to
draw their knowledge and experience in order to help Taiwan advance its industry. They asked
the Chinese Institute of Engineers/USA for help. After an intensive planning of period, the first
Modern Engineering and Technology Conference (or METS) was held in Taipei in 1966. Since
then, METS has been held once every two years here and has played a major role in promoting
technology excahnge among high tech professionals in the US, Taiwan. It fostered major
technology development projects and contributed significantly to the transition of Taiwan from
an agriculture society to an industrialized society.
In 1969, the president of CIE Mr. Sun Yun-Hsuan, led the effort in organizing the 3rd METS.
From that point and on he became the champion for METS. In the next 34 years, Mr. Sun was
synonymous with METS. He even established the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)
to carry out the tasks of technology developments suggested by experts in METS. For all experts
involved in METS, Mr. Sun has always been our elder and mentor.

Chairman, Dr. Barry Lin (SFB Chapter), Vice Chairman, Mr. Thomas Wu (DFW Chapter),
Administrator, Dr. Jiin Chen (Seattle Chapter), Executive Secretary, Dr. Yung-sung Cheng (New

Chapter). We wish that will bring about another momentum to the growth of Taiwan in the 21st
century.

SATEC 2009
Preparation for 2007 and 2009
The organizing committee of the eighth SATEC (Sino-American Technology and
Engineering Conference) 2009 was elected by the National Council in April 2007 as the
following – Chair: Dr. Kuo-Kuang Hsu (Greater New York Chapter), Vice-Chair: Dr. David Fong
(San Francisco Chapter) and Administrator: Dr. James Lee (Seattle Chapter). Dr. Hsu
immediately appointed Dr. Allen Chan (Greater New York Chapter) as the Executive Secretary.
The organizing committee was thus formed with two advisors Dr. Ray Chen and Dr. Wen Lin,
who served as chair for the previous two conferences.
The Organizing Committee Chair, Executive Secretary and Advisor Wen Lin met with
their China counterpart in September of 2007 in the first US-China joint meeting and decided the
Eighth SATEC to be held in the spring of 2009. The partnership with ASME (American
Society of Mechanical Engineers) and Chinese Engineering Academy remained.
The entire US organizing committee went to Beijing in July 2008 to hold the second joint
meeting.
The meeting decided that the Conference would be shortened from ten days to one
week and timing would be the last week of May 2009. The China organizing committee
proposed the following technical sessions: Information Technology, Environmental Protection
and Advanced Manufacturing.
In October 2008, delegates from Bureau of Foreign Experts came to New York and met
with Dr. Kuo-Kuang Hsu, Dr. Allen Chen and Dr. Wen Lin of the Organizing committee in the
East Coast. In the meeting, the Chinese delegates reported progress. The Environmental
Protection Session would be supported by the Hebei Provincial government with focus on sulfur
removal of sintering plat of an iron mill and reuse of water from dry coking plant. Information
Technology session would be supported by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
and would be composed of two sub-sessions: Software and Modern Information Services. The
Ministry of Science and Technology would support two sessions: Biomedical Technology and
Advanced Manufacturing. As in 2006 SATEC, the Advanced Manufacturing session would be
co-sponsored by ASME. During the meeting The US and Chinese Organizing Committees
decided the Eighth SATEC would be held from May 25 to May 31 of 2009.
The meeting also
decided January 12 of 2009 as the next joint meeting between USA and China. In this meeting,
session chairs of both sides would attend marking close work relationship.
