April/May Section Luncheon
AELS Board
Electrical Engineer Member
Eric Eriksen
The IEEE Alaska
Section will have our April/May 2013 member luncheon on Wednesday, May
1st from 11:30AM to 1:00 PM at the Coast International
Inn.
The speaker for this
month’s meeting is AELS Board Member, Eric Eriksen.
Although the agenda is not fully established at this time, Mr. Eriksen will be in Anchorage on his way to the AELS
board meeting in Fairbanks, and has agreed to be our guest speaker.
Among possible topics
for discussion will be:
·
Mr. Eriksen’s
role on the AELS Board and a report of the state and status of
Registered Electrical Engineers in Alaska
·
How the addition of new
sub-discipline licenses has and will impact the field of Electrical
Engineering
·
While Software Engineering,
Instrument/Control Engineering and Fire Protection Engineering are all areas
of responsibility that Electrical Engineers have traditionally covered,
each of these “new disciplines” have
responsibility that is outside the traditional Electrical Engineering
arena, but there is concern expressed by Electrical Engineers that
these changes represent an eroding of the areas of responsibility of
Electrical Engineers. Because the Software Engineering is
still in process Eric will not be able to speak at any length on this
particular issue.
·
Why should students and
non-registered electrical engineers consider registration?
·
What kinds of drawings need
to be stamped?
If you have other
topics that you would like to be added to the discussion, please send
them to IEEE Alaska Section Chair, Robert Seitz at rseitzak@aol.com.
