A
Special Announcement
Houston Chapter has been selected
for an IEEE Industry Application Society
Outstanding Chapter Award for 1999. This award is
presented for the development of the chapter's continuing education
program.
IAS Houston Chapter chairperson Sunita Kulkarni
extends special thanks to
the speakers at the IAS monthly meetings. Without
the support of the presenters, who pay their own travel expenses from
various parts of the country, we wouldn't be able to provide the
seminars. Also special thanks to Bechtel Corporation for supporting
the IAS meetings by providing conference rooms, presentation tools and
equipment and refreshments.
We are at the crossroads of the Engineering
Profession. Engineers need to transcend
traditional boundaries and wear many hats . It is no longer enough to
be technically competent . We need to have broad understanding of what
it takes for an organization to succeed. We require to have strategic
thinking, understand business perspective, possess leadership and
management skills . Houston IEEE/IAS Chapter strives to contribute
towards the development of successful engineering attributes
such as sound engineering fundamentals, strong inter-personal and
communication skills and high ethical standards.
We encourage
Electrical Engineers to take advantage of the educational seminars
offered at "no cost" by the IEEE/IAS Houston Chapter .
