------------------------------------------------

NAME: 
          sci.engr.mech

STATUS:
          unmoderated


DESCRIPTION:

	Discussion of engineering problems related to Mechanical Engineering


CHARTER:

This group will be used for the discussion of problems related to work or 
research in mechanical engineering. The fields that this group would cover may  
be mechanics,dynamics, control, fluids, heat, manufacturing, computer aided 
design, and a bunch of other areas that may be discussed in the process of 
creating this group. 

Problems could be related to school (not homeworks !), research, work,
software related queries and whatever one can think of as a problem
that can be addressed to a Mechanical Engineer.

Posts of the following types are expected though this is not intended to be an 
exhaustive list.
o	Problems related to design of equipments
o	Modelling relatred problems
o	Math related to Mechanical Engineering
o	Software and programs related to Mechanical Engineering
o	Problems related to Standards (although I don't think we can establish 
	standards for practice)
o	Research findings



VOTES:
-----

ONLY VOTES RECEIVED BY MAY 12, 23:59 CST WILL BE COUNTED

The votes should be unambiguously stated in the subject line or the body
of the mail with statements such as

  `I vote YES for sci.engr.mech as proposed'  or
  `I vote NO for sci.engr.mech as proposed'.


To vote  YES: Send mail to yes_mech@mecad.uta.edu  

To vote   NO: Send mail to no_mech@mecad.uta.edu

o	Only votes mailed to the above addresses will be counted.

o	Ambiguous votes or votes with qualifications ("I would vote yes for  
	
	sci.engr.mech if only / provided that...") will not be counted.
o	In the case of multiple votes from a given person, only the last will 
	be counted.

o	If you want to cancel your vote, you can send mail to 
	muthu@mecad.uta.edu.  Actual votes mailed to that address will not be 
	counted.

-----

As is customary for one who proposes and takes votes, I would also adhere
to the ethics of this process by not canvassing for votes. However I will
send this CFV and subsequent ones to all those who had contacted me or had
expressed their support during the discussion process.
 
A mass acknowledgment of the votes received will appear frequently in all the  
newsgroups to which this has been posted.
