An OBE for the SAE

Meet Paul Mascarenas-SAE International's 2019 president. He's a staunch advocate for professional development for engineers, amid the mobility industry's transformation.

Perhaps it's not surprising that someone who joined a professional engineering society at age 16 would eventually lead one. And so, Paul Mascarenas seems an ideal fit as SAE International's 2019 president.

It's been more than 30 years since he joined the Institution of Mechanical Engineers as a student in his native Britain. Since then, Mascarenas has distinguished himself in many industry-leadership roles, including chief technical officer at Ford Motor Co. from 2011 to 2014.
