  4. And I was there...

  5. Your Future, Your Journey Education choices: Graduate school: MS, D.Eng, PhDOther training: MBA, JDProfessional accreditations: PE Job choices: Research? Directed development? Production? Established firm or startup? Future expectations in salary, security? Location? Deciding Factors: Your interestsYour skills & talents Your past training The “market”

  6. Tools of the Trade • Your general knowledge--you know more than you think! • Basic science • Unbiased, critical thinking; the scientific method; “librarianship” • Your specialized knowledge--your unique skill-set • Your character • your actions, integrity, morality (Golden Rule, honesty, etc) • responsibility with time, resources, deliverables & promises • “team player”, proper balance of humility and assertiveness • work hard, go the extra mile, be confident and optimistic • communication: English pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, writing, LISTENING--unbiased & unfiltered, feedback, body language • Life-long learning--just to “keep up”, enhance your skill-set, correct some deficiencies • Your unique experiences--projects you’ll work on, school of hard knocks, what you’ve picked up “on the streets”

  7. What they don’t teach you in college:Basic Project Management • Plan the Work (5-10%) “failing to plan is planning to fail” • Build a team, get buy-in • Know the interfaces, estimate the boundaries • Write it out in some detail, for some people • Communicate the vision to everyone • Get the big picture; aim high in steering • Work the Plan • Assess progress--“Ride the range”, Listen • Communicate the progress--avoid surprises in meetings • Know your options, have lots of Plan B’s • Maintain team unity, camaraderie, and commitment; Give complements • “Your project is the most important one there is.” • This is simple stuff. It works on any size project. Everything’s a project. • You don’t have to make a career of this or even use the “M” word. • Don’t do your job >80% of the time • 80% real work, 10% management, + ...

  8. The missing 10%: Marketing • Your money: • 10% for others (benevolences, charity) • 10% for savings, for the future • Spend the remaining 80% • Your time: • 10% for “managing” others • 10% for marketing, for the future • Work the remaining 80% • At work, time = money • Your project, your career, your firm, your life, needs marketing • What is marketing? • Communication, assessing perceptions, engineering perceptions, appearance, networking • The other “M” word. • The best advertising is free. • There is a future in engineering. Marketing is your ability to control it.

  9. 1900 1920 1940 1960 1980 2000 So did I choose the right career? (Why EE?) • Participate in revolutions! • Be an explorer, discoverer • Knowledge/understanding enriches your life • Improve the quality of life for others • Job satisfaction (ref. Headhunter friend) • Stepping stone to other careers (e.g. management) • Big tent; lots of niches; diverse field • Fairness of treatment • Honesty/decency of coworkers • Bridge between ME and SW • Public perception of technology  • Speak the international language; help shrink the world!

  10. What else do you need on your journey? • Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers(http://www.ieee.org) • World’s largest (~320,000) technical professional society • Our charter: • “Scientific advancement and diffusion of knowledge”“Advancement of the profession”“Use skills to enhance the quality of life for all people” • Our strengths: • Peer-reviewed proceedings, practical publications, newsletters • International conferences & workshops with proceedings • 36 active technical Societies • Active local Chapters; grassroots involvement of membership • Member services (e.g. bargain life insurance) • Professional support

  17. History of NPSS The first activity of record in this field was the formation of a Nuclear Studies Committee in the IRE in 1947, to determine the proper role of the IRE in this new technical field. Subsequently, in 1949 a petition was filed for the formation of a Professional Group on Nuclear Science, and it was approved on April 5, 1949, with L. R. Hafstad as Chairman. On April 29, an organizational meeting was held, the membership at that time consisting of 54, increasing to 970 by the end of the year. The new organization became visible on a number of fronts in the early 50's. In 1953, the PGNS formed an Atomic Energy Policy Committee which fielded a strong effort to have the Atomic Energy Act of 1946 modified. These efforts came to a fruition in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. Early in the 50's the PGNS became a co-sponsor of the Scintillation Counter Symposium which has now merged into the Nuclear Science Symposium. Also in 1954 the first issue of the Transactions on Nuclear Science appeared. In 1956 the number of issues of the Transactions was increased from one a year to four. At essentially the same time as the Professional Group on Nuclear Science was formed in the IRE, the AIEE formed a number of committees and subcommittees to work in this area, the most important being the Nucleonics Committee and Commmittee on Nucleonic and Radiation Instruments. With the merger of the IRE and AIEE on January 1, 1963, to form the IEEE, procedures were begun to merge the like-interest groups of the former societies. The IRE Professional Group on Nuclear Science merged with the AIEE Nucleonics Committee and the Committee on Nucleaonic and Radiation Instruments on October 29, 1963, to become the Nuclear Science Group of the IEEE. In 1972 two major events occurred for the Group. Midyear the scope was widened to include the plasma science field and in September the group was given Society status. The augmented group became the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. March of 1973 saw the debut of a second publication, the Transactions on Plasma Science. NPSS thus has the distinction of issuing two publications, in addition to a newsletter. Over the years the Society has inaugurated or assumed responsibility for a number of conferences. Every year the Society sponsors conferences on Plasma Science, Radiation Effects, and Nuclear Science. Conferences on Particle Accelerators and Engineering Problems in Fusion Research and Data Acquisition in Nuclear and Particle Physics are sponsored every other year. In addition, other conferences such as Symposium on Nuclear Power systems are co-sponsored by the Society.

  22. A roadmap on the journey...The IEEE Code of Ethics We, the members of the IEEE, in recognition of the importance of our technologies in affecting the quality of life throughout the world, and in accepting a personal obligation to our profession, its members and the communities we serve, do hereby commit ourselves to the highest ethical and professional conduct and agree to: 1. Accept responsibility in making engineering decisions consistent with the safety, health and welfare of the public, and to disclose promptly factors that might endanger the public or the environment. 2. Avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest whenever possible, and to disclose them to affected parties when they do exist. 3. Be honest and realistic in stating claims or estimates based on available data. 4. Reject bribery in all its forms. 5. Improve the understanding of technology, its appropriate application, and potential consequences. 6. Maintain and improve our technical competence and to undertake technological tasks for others only if qualified by training or experience, or after full disclosure of pertinent limitations. 7. Seek, accept, and offer honest criticism of technical work, to acknowledge and correct errors, and to credit properly the contributions of others. 8. Treat fairly all persons regardless of such factors as race, religion, gender, disability, age, or national origin. 9.
