Our first section meeting of the year
will be on September 26, 2002. The speaker for our September meeting
will be Thomas P. O’Brien, P.E. Since graduating from Texas A&M, Tom
O’Brien has worked in aircraft design and manufacturing, data
processing, airline reservation systems, business software
development, simulator development, electronic commerce, and
spacecraft software. He is currently developing software
requirements specifications for the Space Shuttle Upgrades project.
The topic of discuss at the section meeting will be "Bell Telephone
Patents, 1874-1884”. The
Houston Section CED program will start back up in October of this
year with several courses that cover new and exciting topics. Please
take some time and visit the web site to see what will be offered
this year. In addition, the volunteer organization of the IEEE is
looking for individuals that would be interested in any capacity
within the Houston Section and officer positions within our
Technical Society Chapters (i.e. Power Engineering, Computer,
Communication & Industry Applications). Please take the time to
consider volunteering in some capacity; the return on time invested
is well worth it.
Our employment section on the IEEE
Houston Section website is growing. Take the time to visit the site
and forward the information on to individuals within your companies
that are seeking IEEE engineers http://www.ieee-houston.org/. Again,
this feature is a service for the IEEE membership within the Houston
Section and is at no cost to the individuals or companies placing
the basic ads.
As always, we are looking for
members that are interested in becoming a Senior Member in the IEEE.
If you meet the following criteria: for elevation to Senior Member
status, ten years of professional practice including five years of
significant performance, and references (See the nominator letter
and application form for clarification on the IEEE website) or if
you know an IEEE member who qualifies for Senior Membership, I would
like you to nominate him or her by forwarding their nomination to
one of the Houston Section Excom members. If you qualify and are not
a senior member please reply to one of the Section Excom members.
The Executive Committee and I look
forward to your feedback and comments. We have received numerous
comments and suggestions. Keep them coming!!! While we may not be
able to implement them all immediately we certainly will make an
effort. Thanks for taking the time to forward your feedback.
