Abstract
At the 76th International Society of Allied Weight Engineers (SAWE) conference in Montreal, Canada, the president-elect of the society gave a presentation entitled ‘The Mass Properties Discipline – Risk and Opportunity’. This presentation provided a perception of the health of the mass properties discipline based on limited published material, most of it over a decade old. In order to substantiate or disprove the conjecture made in that 2017 presentation, the authors devised and conducted a mass properties engineering industry survey in 2018, the results of which are presented in this paper. Similar to the aforementioned presentation, the ultimate objective of this effort is to stimulate increased collaboration between Academia, SAWE Company Members and Corporate Partners, society members, and the SAWE Executive Board towards a common objective in addressing the current risk and opportunities.
