It sounds like you are looking for information about ITAR. I am a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the professional society for aerospace engineers. I have helped organize some ITAR related sessions at various AIAA conferences over the past few years. Working through your AIAA student chapter or local region, we can provide that information. You will need to find an AIAA member to help coordinate this, as the briefings are intended as a member benefit. For example, you can probably have your student section or local section sponsor an ITAR workshop that includes your staff. You can find a local AIAA member at the web site, www.aiaa.org, or contact me directly at the contact info below, and we can talk about it some more. Also, most big defense companies, and gov agencies, like DOD and NASA, have these types of briefings for travellers, etc. so we can try to work that angle as well.

Being an Institute of Technology, we have technology being researched on campus which is subject to export restrictions. We have subject matter experts who have knowledge of export controlled technologies who travel for professional reasons where they may come in contact with foreign nationals from export restricted to countries. When I began to look at my responsibilities, it was suggested that I prepare a briefing for traveling faculty to make them aware of the social engineering applied to technology theft. The suggestion basically included both potential theft of intellectual property from sponsored research, as well as, theft of intellectual property that relates to export controlled technology. Has anyone prepared a briefing of that sort. Accompanying this sort of briefing, would be a "What to take with you and what not" briefing or checklist. Something centered more on the technology that is in common use in the US, but might be a target for theft, or might be restricted by export controls. My initial thoughts were for laptops: - move all of your RIT confidential or RIT Internal Use data to a network server - move any sponsored research data to a network server - If travelling out of the US to ... Don't take PGP, Sony Puppy, ... Things that use AES ... I know that I am missing a lot. I would hate to reinvent the wheel. Does anyone have something that they can share?
