'''SAE International''', formerly named the '''Society of Automotive Engineers''', is a United States-based, globally active [[professional association]] and [[standards organization|standards developing organization]] for [[engineering]] professionals in various industries. SAE International's world headquarters is in [[Warrendale, Pennsylvania]], 20 miles north of [[Pittsburgh]], [[Pennsylvania]]. Principal emphasis is placed on global [[transport]] industries such as [[aerospace]], [[Automotive industry|automotive]], and [[commercial vehicle]]s. The organization adopted the name SAE International to reflect the broader emphasis on mobility.
'''SAE International''' is a global [[professional association]] and [[standards organization]] based in [[Warrendale, Pennsylvania|Warrendale]], [[Pennsylvania]], [[United States]]. Formerly the '''Society of Automotive Engineers''', the organization adopted its current name in 2006 to reflect both its international membership and the increased scope of its activities beyond [[automotive engineering]] and the [[automotive industry]] to include [[aerospace]] and other [[transport]] industries, as well as [[commercial vehicle]]s including [[autonomous vehicles]] such as [[self-driving car]]s, [[self-driving truck|trucks]], [[unmanned surface vehicle|surface vessels]], [[unmanned aerial vehicle|drones]], and related technologies.


SAE International has over 138,000 global members. Membership is granted to individuals, rather than companies. Aside from its [[standardization]] efforts, SAE International also devotes resources to projects and programs in [[STEM fields|STEM]] education, [[professional certification]], and collegiate design competitions.

⚫
For historical legacy reasons, the label "SAE" is commonly used on tools and hardware in North America to indicate [[United States customary units]] measurements, that is, [[inch]]-based not [[metric system|metric (SI)]]. Both this usage and casual use of the term "[[Imperial units|Imperial]]" are loose and imprecise (but common) references to inch fractional sizes and to the [[screw thread]] sizes of the [[Unified Thread Standard]] (UTS).

⚫
SAE is also well known in the United States for its ratings of automobile [[horsepower]]. Until 1971-1972 SAE gross power was used. Similar to [[brake horsepower]] (bhp), it gave generously unrealistic performance ratings. Since then the more conservative SAE net power, which takes into account engine accessory, emissions, and exhaust drags (but not transmission losses) is the standard.

Two magazine publishers, Peter Heldt of ''The Horseless Age'', and Horace Swetland of ''The Automobile'', were advocates of the concepts for SAE. Heldt wrote an editorial in June 1902 in which he said, "Now there is a noticeable tendency for automobile manufacturers to follow certain accepted lines of construction, technical questions constantly arise which seek a solution from the cooperation of the technical men connected with the industry. These questions could best be dealt with by a technical society. The field of activity for this society would be the purely technical side of automobiles."<ref name="Hillstrom06">{{cite book | last=Hillstrom | first=Kevin |author2=Laurie Collier Hillstrom | title=The industrial revolution in America: automobiles | url=https://archive.org/details/industrialrevolu00hill | url-access=limited | location=Oxford | publisher= ABC-CLIO | year=2006 | pages=[https://archive.org/details/industrialrevolu00hill/page/n49 33]–36 |isbn=1-85109-749-X}}</ref>

The initial membership was engineers with annual dues of US$10.


Over the first 10 years, SAE membership grew steadily, and the society added full-time staff and began to publish a technical journal and a comprehensive compilation of technical papers, previously called SAE Transactions, which still exist today in the form of SAE International's Journals. By 1916 SAE had 1,800 members. At the annual meeting that year, representatives from the American Society of Aeronautic Engineers, the Society of Tractor Engineers, as well as representatives from the power boating industry made a pitch to SAE for oversight of technical standards in their industries. Aeronautics was a fledgling industry at that time. Early supporters of the concept of a society to represent aeronautical engineers were [[Thomas Edison]], [[Glenn Curtiss]], [[Glenn L. Martin|Glenn Martin]], and [[Orville Wright]].

[[Charles Kettering]] presided over SAE during World War I and saw membership pass the 5,000 mark. During this time, SAE emphasized the importance of developing member activity through local chapters – called ''Sections''. After [[World War II]], the Society established links with other standards bodies and automotive engineering societies worldwide, and since then has founded sections in countries including Brazil, India, China, Russia, Romania, and Egypt. By 1980, membership surpassed 35,000 and over the next two decades the society, like the industries and individuals it serves, became larger, more global, more diverse, and more electronic.

===Horsepower ratings===
⚫
SAE has long provided standards for rating automobile [[Horsepower#Society of Automotive Engineers.2FSAE International|horsepower]]. Until 1971-1972 [[Horsepower#SAE gross power|SAE gross power]] was used. Similar to [[Horsepower#Brake horsepower .28bhp.29|brake horsepower]] (bhp), it gave generously unrealistic performance ratings. Since then, the standard has been the more conservative [[Horsepower#SAE net power|SAE net power]], which takes into account engine accessory, emissions, and exhaust drags, but not transmission losses.

==SAE units==
⚫
For historical legacy reasons, the label "SAE" is commonly used on tools and hardware in North America to indicate [[United States customary units]] measurements, that is, [[inch]]-based not [[metric system|metric (SI)]]. Both this usage and casual use of the term "[[Imperial units|Imperial]]" are loose and imprecise (but common) references to inch fractional sizes and to the [[screw thread]] sizes of the [[Unified Thread Standard]] (UTS).

⚫
SAE is also well known in the United States for its ratings of automobile [[horsepower]]. Until 1971–1972 SAE gross power was used. Similar to [[brake horsepower]] (bhp), it gave generously unrealistic performance ratings. Since then the more conservative SAE net power, which takes into account engine accessory, emissions, and exhaust drags (but not transmission losses) is the standard.

SAE International is a global professional association and standards organization based in Warrendale, Pennsylvania, United States. Formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers, the organization adopted its current name in 2006 to reflect both its international membership and the increased scope of its activities beyond automotive engineering and the automotive industry to include aerospace and other transport industries, as well as commercial vehicles including autonomous vehicles such as self-driving cars, trucks, surface vessels, drones, and related technologies.

SAE International has over 138,000 global members. Membership is granted to individuals, rather than companies. Aside from its standardization efforts, SAE International also devotes resources to projects and programs in STEM education, professional certification, and collegiate design competitions.

History[edit]

In the early 1900s there were dozens of automobile manufacturers in the United States, and many more worldwide. Auto manufacturers and parts companies joined trade groups that promoted business. A desire to solve common technical design problems and develop engineering standards was emerging. Engineers in the automobile business expressed a desire to have "free exchange of ideas" to expand their technical knowledge base.

Two magazine publishers, Peter Heldt of The Horseless Age, and Horace Swetland of The Automobile, were advocates of the concepts for SAE. Heldt wrote an editorial in June 1902 in which he said, "Now there is a noticeable tendency for automobile manufacturers to follow certain accepted lines of construction, technical questions constantly arise which seek a solution from the cooperation of the technical men connected with the industry. These questions could best be dealt with by a technical society. The field of activity for this society would be the purely technical side of automobiles."[1]

Horace Swetland wrote on automotive engineering concerns and became an original SAE officer. About two years after Heldt's editorial, the Society of Automobile Engineers was founded in New York City. Four officers and five managing officers volunteered. In 1905 Andrew L. Riker[2] served as president,[3] and Henry Ford served as the society's first vice president. The initial membership was engineers with annual dues of US$10.

Over the first 10 years, SAE membership grew steadily, and the society added full-time staff and began to publish a technical journal and a comprehensive compilation of technical papers, previously called SAE Transactions, which still exist today in the form of SAE International's Journals. By 1916 SAE had 1,800 members. At the annual meeting that year, representatives from the American Society of Aeronautic Engineers, the Society of Tractor Engineers, as well as representatives from the power boating industry made a pitch to SAE for oversight of technical standards in their industries. Aeronautics was a fledgling industry at that time. Early supporters of the concept of a society to represent aeronautical engineers were Thomas Edison, Glenn Curtiss, Glenn Martin, and Orville Wright.

Survey results on the adoption rate of SAE standards among various manufacturers, reported in the journal Horseless Age, 1916

Out of the meeting in 1916 came a new organization, to represent engineers in all types of mobility-related professions. SAE member Elmer Sperry created the term "automotive" from Greek autos (self), and Latin motivus (of motion) origins to represent any form of self-powered vehicle. The Society of Automobile Engineers became the Society of Automotive Engineers. Ethel H. Bailey became the first woman to become a full member of the SAE in 1926,[4] having joined the staff as a research engineer in 1920.[5]

Charles Kettering presided over SAE during World War I and saw membership pass the 5,000 mark. During this time, SAE emphasized the importance of developing member activity through local chapters – called Sections. After World War II, the Society established links with other standards bodies and automotive engineering societies worldwide, and since then has founded sections in countries including Brazil, India, China, Russia, Romania, and Egypt. By 1980, membership surpassed 35,000 and over the next two decades the society, like the industries and individuals it serves, became larger, more global, more diverse, and more electronic.

By the mid-1980s, membership edged close to 50,000; by the end of the 1990s, membership topped 80,000 with members in more than 80 countries.[6]

As of 2017, the society serves over 138,000 global members,[7] with more than a quarter from outside of North America.[citation needed]

Technical standards[edit]

SAE International provides a forum for companies, government agencies, research institutions and consultants to devise technical standards and recommended practices for the design, construction, and characteristics of motor vehicle components.[7][24] SAE documents do not carry any legal force, but are in some cases referenced by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada.[25][26]

Aerospace industry standards[edit]

SAE publishes technical documents for the aerospace industry.[27] Aerospace Recommended Practices are recommendations for engineering practice, and Aerospace Information Reports contain general accepted engineering data and information.[28][29]

Levels of Autonomy[edit]

Main article: Self-driving car § Classification

SAE has proposed an influential categorization for "levels of driving automation" in vehicular automation.[30][31] SAE J3016 defines six levels of automation for cars, ranging from level 0 (No Driving Automation) to level 5 (Full Automation), transitioning gradually from "driver support features" to "automated driving features". This categorization scheme has also been adopted by the NHTSA.[32]

SAE units[edit]

For historical legacy reasons, the label "SAE" is commonly used on tools and hardware in North America to indicate United States customary units measurements, that is, inch-based not metric (SI). Both this usage and casual use of the term "Imperial" are loose and imprecise (but common) references to inch fractional sizes and to the screw thread sizes of the Unified Thread Standard (UTS).

SAE is also well known in the United States for its ratings of automobile horsepower. Until 1971–1972 SAE gross power was used. Similar to brake horsepower (bhp), it gave generously unrealistic performance ratings. Since then the more conservative SAE net power, which takes into account engine accessory, emissions, and exhaust drags (but not transmission losses) is the standard.

Horsepower ratings[edit]

SAE has long provided standards for rating automobile horsepower. Until 1971–1972 SAE gross power was used. Similar to brake horsepower (bhp), it gave generously unrealistic performance ratings. Since then, the standard has been the more conservative SAE net power, which takes into account engine accessory, emissions, and exhaust drags, but not transmission losses.

Publications[edit]

SAE International has been publishing technical information since 1906. Industry magazines published monthly include: Automotive Engineering International, Aerospace Engineering and Manufacturing, Off Highway Engineering, Truck & Bus Engineering, SAE Vehicle Engineering, e-newsletters, Momentum magazine for student members, and various journals. SAE also produces the monthly Update newsletter for its members and publishes more than 100 books a year in print and electronic formats. Ranging from compilations on various technical subjects, to textbooks, to historical and enthusiast-oriented books, SAE's titles cater to a variety of readers.

In April 2007, MIT canceled its subscription to SAE because of required Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology implemented on SAE web-based database of technical papers.[33] SAE International removed the DRM restrictions for colleges, universities, and other academic institutions.[34][better source needed]

SAE Foundation[edit]

In 1986, SAE International established the SAE Foundation to support science and technology education. One of the most pressing issues facing industry today is the decline of students enrolling in science and technology programs.[35] This decline and its impact threaten the ability to meet future workforce demands. The SAE Foundation encourages and supports the development of skills related to mathematics, technology, engineering and science.[36]

STEM program[edit]

A World In Motion is a teacher-administered, industry volunteer-assisted program that brings science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education to life in the classroom for students in Kindergarten through Grade 12.[37] Benchmarked to the national standards, AWIM incorporates the laws of physics, motion, flight and electronics into age-appropriate hands on activities that reinforce classroom STEM curriculum.[38]

SAE Collegiate Design Series[edit]

The SAE Collegiate Design Series provides an opportunity for college students to go beyond textbook theory and replicates the process of engineering design and manufacturing.[39][40] In the CDS program, a company wants to sell a product for a specific market segment, for example a radio controlled airplane, a single seat off-road vehicle, or a single seat Formula style race car.[41] Instead of doing all the design, manufacturing and testing in house, the customer chooses to contract out those processes to a supplier, and sends their requirements out for bid. Student teams act as the suppliers and design, build and test a prototype vehicle that they believe meets the customer's specifications.[41] Each team then presents its prototype to the customer at the annual competitions and is judged on several criteria.[41] The team with the highest points essentially wins the contract.

The SAE Collegiate Design Series competitions include the following:
