The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Congress in Detroit is a major event for the people who create cars and trucks, delving into future technologies and trends, and matching people to jobs. The "Powering Possibilities" theme revolved around "untapped discoveries."

Technical sessions covered integrated design and manufacturing, powertrain, management and marketing, electronics, materials, body/chassis, and sustainability. Sessions were led by people from a wide range of companies and groups - NASA Langley, GE Aviation, Intel Security, DARPA, Steelcase, and others. Panelists were highly wide-ranging, including the CTO of Toyota, head of powertrain controls at GM, the senior chief engineer at Honda R&D, a VP from Faurecia, and others. One presenter was Dr. Hussein Dourra, SAE Fellow, Senior Technical Fellow at FCA, and FCA Senior Manager of Powertrain Controls Sciences; he spoke with Allpar's Marc Rozman at the show.

McFarland and Arch T. Colwell awards, while Bob Lee garnered the Franz Pischinger Powertrain Innovation award.

This year, there seemed to be many more job openings, and both suppliers and major automakers were pitching to fill positions. FCA US was among those eagerly recruiting new engineers; the company has ambitious plans and by many reports, not enough people to achieve all of them.
