Amy Harmon once said, "You loved Ferris wheels more than roller coasters because life shouldn’t be lived at full speed, but in anticipation and appreciation." 🎡The Ferris Wheel is considered to be one of the greatest engineering feats of the world. It was created in 1893 by George Ferris (a structural engineer 😉) and was supported by two steel towers of 140-feet each, the longest piece of forged steel ever at that time. First Wednesday in August is celebrated as the Professional Engineers Day. This was the brainchild of Tim Austin who is not only a licensed professional engineer himself, but also was president of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) for 2015-2016.The first Professional Engineers Day was celebrated in 2016 when it was launched by the NSPE with the purpose of raising public awareness about the specific contributions of licensed professional engineers in the US. Since 1907, when the first professional engineer’s license was issued in Wyoming to Charles Bellamy, the engineers of the nation have continued to expand their commitment to the welfare of the public in a wide range of ways including health, safety, industry and more. As we celebrate Professional Engineers Day today, let’s take a moment to appreciate the everyday innovations that make our lives better—engineers are the unsung heroes behind it all. Here are a few fascinating examples of engineering excellence: 📍 The snowboard, a masterpiece of geometry, chemistry, and biomechanics, created by a brilliant engineer. 📍 Running shoes meticulously designed to enhance performance, comfort, and protection, with every detail considered to optimize foot safety. Today, let's honor and celebrate the engineers who innovate, problem-solve, and enrich our lives. If you know a professional engineer, reach out and let them know how much their work is valued! #ProfessionalEngineersDay #EngineeringExcellence #Innovation #ThankAnEngineer #EngineeringMarvels

I posted about this Utah Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Initiative (UAMMI) event that happened Monday night. It was AWESOME. There are some challenges that I see, however, that should be easy to solve, but the community will need help. A few of the challenges I see is that Utah Companies are not sure what steps to take when they need to hire a Foreign National. Often it's easier than you think, but since it's "new" the process feels scarier than it actually is. Furthermore, the costs seem exorbitant, but they are actually very predictable. Also, so many of the people in the room last night are brilliantly and professionally capable, though their english skills rob them of communicating effectively their capabilities. Employers who conscientiously engage individuals who are educated yet lack language skills -- and help provide resources in these areas -- are likely going to find talented, driven and LOYAL employees. One more question I had is how do employers find people like this room of brilliant, skilled engineers when they are unfamiliar with Linkedin, their resumes (cvs) are formatted strangely compared to "American" resumes, and it's unclear if their experience and education translates well to US standards? How can employers lower the barriers to entry for talented workers who do not look or sound like traditional "utah born" workers?
Did you know Utah has a World Trade Center? Some great things are "building" in Utah's advanced manufacturing and materials industries ;) Last night I joined 120+ people at an event hosted by the Utah Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Initiative (UAMMI) at the World Trade Center Utah (WTC Utah) specifically for helping new Americans understand more about their options for licensing and certification to work in the US as a degreed engineer or in the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing space. The State of Utah has a high concentration of work like this and, from what I saw in the room, an exceptionally high number of talented individuals who worked in Civil, Structural and Electrical Engineering fields in other countries, but who are struggling to find work at their qualification levels here in the States. ** NOTE: IF YOU WERE IN THE ROOM LAST NIGHT AND I DIDNT MENTION YOU, PLEASE COMMENT! If you are an EMPLOYER interested in hiring people like this, PLEASE COMMENT! ** It was great to be hosted by and taught by Alexander Bybee, Jesler Molina - MBA, Tulinda Larsen, Natalie El-Deiry, KC Sanders and others, and we learned from a panel of local employers as well: Jessica A. Elwell - COO OxEon Energy Jennifer Hwu - President of InnoSys Inc. Randy Philpot - President of Advanced Composites Inc. Brad Robeson - President of Clean Machine, LLC Some great people I connected with that are looking for good work include: - Muhammad Naeem - PCNSE | NOC/SOC Engineer - Leidy Cubides Avella - Industrial Engineer with a master’s degree in Sales Management - NICOLAS PEROZO - Civil / Structural Engineer - Deris Cerrato - Masters in Project Management. Also highly skilled in Research & Education. And many others. I was impressed with the many resources the state has made available to assist people and companies who are striving to engage refugees, those seeking asylum and those who are here for educational purposes with landing and finding work they are educated and qualified for. People like Abdul Shukoor, Vanessa Wilkins, Gayane Manukyan, Tulinda Larsen, Natalie El-Deiry and so many others can help companies navigate the unknown waters of hiring people who are new to the United States and the great State of Utah. I look forward to participating in more of these events! Congratulations Utah Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Initiative (UAMMI) and team for putting in a great event!
