CIE-USA National Council
I
am honored to have served you as the CIE-USA National Council (NC) chairman.
CIE-USA has successfully held the following three major conferences or events since the
inception of the NC in 1986. They are:
1) The Modern Engineering and Technology Seminar (METS) conference in Taipei,
Taiwan, held every two years since 1966.
Chairman
Ted C. Lee
2) The Sino-American Technology and Engineering Conference (SATEC) in Beijing,
China, held every two years since 1993.
3) The National Engineers Week (EWeek) Asian American Engineer of the Year
Award (AAEOY) Banquet, held annually since 2002.
I would like to thank our SATEC chairman, Dr. Wen Lin; our METS chairman, Dr.
Tim Chen; and all the other officers and members who helped organize the events held in
April 2004 in Beijing, China and in November 2004, Taipei, Taiwan, respectively. I

AAEOY 2002 and 2003 were held in Dallas and AAEOY 2004 was held in San
Francisco. Thanks to the great effort of the area chapters of Dallas and San Francisco, those
AAEOY events were very successful. The NY chapter of CIE had the honor of hosting
AAEOY during National Engineers Week (EWeek) in February 2005. As part of the EWeek
activities, CIE-USA also supported the Future City Competition (www.futurecity.org).
In this modern era, technology has made the global village a reality. CIE-USA is a unique
group of engineers, many of whom have been educated in both the USA and Asia. As such
CIE-USA is privileged to serve the global village – both our homelands in Asia and our
communities in the United States. Chinese-American engineers have contributed
tremendously to the making and shaping of this country in engineering and beyond,
whether they serve in Fortune 500 companies, innovative startups, major universities, or
government organizations. Thanks to their efforts and the vision of our CIE founding
fathers, CIE-USA has grown to thousands of members in six chapters across the nation.
While we can look back with pride on this piece of wonderful CIE history, I hope we will
also continue to grow CIE and promote the interests of Chinese-Americans in engineering
as well as in the mainstream society at large.
I thank you all for making it a successful year for CIE through the activities in your area
chapter, METS in Taiwan, SATEC in China, and AAEOY in NJ.
About
CIE-USA
C
hinese Institute of Engineers, CIE-USA
is a professional non-profit and nonpolitical organization founded in 1917
in New York by a group of talented and forwardlooking Chinese engineers who graduated from
American colleges and worked in American
railroads and various industries. On July 15,
1953 the United States Chapter was reestablished
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 the 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 communications
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 CIEUSA 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.

he Dallas/Fort Worth chapter of CIE (CIE/USA-DFW, www.ciedfw.org) was established in January 1989. We share the same basic
objectives of other CIE/USA area chapters in promoting communication
and information exchange among engineers of all disciplines.
The CIE/USA-DFW Annual Convention As always, this is the most
important event of the year with an estimated attendance of 600
people, including local celebrities and executives of multinational
high-tech corporations. Throughout the years, we have been very
fortunate to have the participation of keynote speakers who are well
recognized for their leadership in business, academia and government.
The theme of the 2004 Annual Convention was “Global
Transformation - Technology Innovation”. The keynote speaker for
the evening banquet was Dr. Irving Wladawsky-Berger, Vice President
of Technology, IBM. The opening keynote speaker was Dr. Peter Pao,
VP Technology, Raytheon Company. For the parallel sessions and
panel discussion, we are fortunate to have prominent speakers sharing
their vision and expertise on the challenges of global transformation
and the opportunities of technology innovation.
Youth Program
We believe that youth is the hope for our future, and good education
is the foundation for successful engineers and citizens.
Over the years, we have developed a series of annual activities for youth
development. These events include MathComp/MathFun, Young
Achiever Awards, Essay Writing Contests, and Speech Contests with
support from Major local businesses, schools and universities. Every
year, more than 1000 young adults participate in the competitions,
and winners are recognized at the annual convention.

MathComp is our major Youth Program sponsored by Texas
Instruments. Since its inception in 1990, the number of students
participating in MathComp has increased more than ten-fold, from
about 30 to over 300. This event is not only limited to Chinese
community. It was well recognized and attracted students with
different ethnic backgrounds. This year we had more than 300
students and more than 600 participants in the event on May 22. To
ensure the quality of the competition questions, we enlisted Dr. Tom
Butts, Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Texas
at Dallas, and his team of math teachers to prepare the question sets.
The goal of the exam is to test advanced problem solving skills.
Therefore, questions become increasingly more difficult as students
progress in their studies.
programs in the areas of telecommunications,
microelectronics,
information
technology,
biotechnology and business management. These
programs provide a variety of in-depth knowledge
and insight. The “Career Assessment for
Professional” seminars in 2004 received extremely
positive and encouraging feedback.
The Young Achiever Award (YAA), the highlight
of the CIE/USA-DFW Chapter’s annual youth
program, follows CIE’s tradition of encouraging
the younger generation of our members to achieve
excellence not only in academic performance, but
also to participate in extracurricular activities and
community service, and to develop leadership skills
at the early stage of their lives. YAA recognizes
those young students who have demonstrated their
achievements in these areas.
We have also expanded into other well-established
organizations such as Junior Achievement. For the
continuation of future leadership development and
membership, we are also focusing our efforts on young
professionals and new college graduates. This will
support our effort to build leaders for the future.
Officer Training
We understand the importance of passing down
CIE knowledge and tradition during the transition
from one year’s leaders to the next. At the end of
every year we gather the board of directors, new
officers, and convention committee members for a
day of orientation. Orientation includes guidance
and support from CIE’s leaders: a senior advisor
provides an inspirational speech, the current
president reviews the activity report, and the new
president sets goals and expectations for the
coming year. At the end of orientation, the entire
team participates in activities to examine important
issues concerning the future of the organization.
Leadership Assessment and Mentoring
Program (LAMP)
The purpose of LAMP is to help Asian Americans
achieve their full potential by addressing the needs
and opportunities for professional growth. The
program is currently organized by CIE/USA-DFW
and sponsored by Raytheon Company. In May of
2004, we held the “Passport to Success” seminar
that was developed in partnership with Raytheon.
This half-day event featured a distinguished group
of lecturers. Ms. Linda Rusk, Corporate Global
Diversity Leader for Raytheon Company,
enlightened the audience on leadership and
diversity. Mr. Dean Lindsay, founder of The
Progress Agent, provided the blueprint needed to
strengthen commitment towards organizational
goals. Ms. JoAnn Georgostathis of Raytheon
Company revealed three important keys to fulfill
one’s destiny. Ms. Pauline Shirley, President of
Executive Solutions Unlimited, stimulated the
audience with techniques on delegating effectively.
The CIE/USA-DFW Chairman of Board, Mrs. Cherie
Sung, presented the plaque to 2004 Annual Convention
keynote speaker Dr. Irving Wladawsky-Berger.
Monthly Technical Seminars
As the most active and influential engineering
organization in the DFW area, we provide services
to both professional societies and local
communities. We frequently offer seminar
2004 Young Achiever Awardees and the sponsor presenters.
