Patton's new Campaign

As new SAE International President for 2017, Doug Patton will advocate STEM, “cultivation” of prospective young engineers.

From his elevated position with the American arm of automotive megasupplier Denso, Doug Patton has a commanding view of the engineering landscape-and some power to help shape it.

With the added new influence of the 2017 SAE International Presidency behind him, he plans to do as much as he can to help shape up what he sees as a somewhat wobbly system for producing engineers in a stream large enough to meet the expanding needs of mobility industries.
