abstract = {The decision to become a member of a professional association has always been a factor of perceived value; That is, what is the cost of membership and what benefits are obtained in return. The changes to the economic climate have meant that individuals place greater emphasis on the perceived value of any membership and examine in more detail if membership of an association provides value to them. But what if we alter the perception and view the membership fee as a price of admission, enabling the registered member or organization to participate in activities that can contribute to personal, organizational, and industry growth?},

abstract = {Over the last 80 years, all SAWE technical papers are indexed by a Category system to make searches easier. The current index has evolved to meet the needs of the authors and researchers. However, some of the categories have become outdated as technology has changed, like categories are not grouped together, and there is no definition of what goes into a specific category. The SAWE Technical Committee under the leadership of the VP-Technical Director completed a project to modernize the quick search capability of Category indexing and to define the content of each category. This paper presents the “Group” indexing listing, considerations of alternative group and categories and the implementation steps that are required over the next few years. The title Group is used to differentiate it from the legacy Category index and to mitigate the use of “new Category”, since in 20 years it will be old too.},

abstract = {Webster dictionary defines “Plan” as “an intention or decision about what one is going to do”. This paper outlines the prescribed intentions during the acquisition phase of a product lifecycle to achieve the intended vehicle mass properties characteristics that contribute towards the desired vehicle performance within a defined set of operational parameters. 

Since the mass properties community uses weight and mass properties terms interchangeably in general reference, the term Mass Properties versus weight is more accurate and appropriate and will be utilized throughout this paper.},
