Ethical Case Insights: Lessons in Disclosure
2022-10-12 11:00 - 12:00
Live Web Event – NSPE PE Institute: A team of presenters from the NSPE Board of Ethical Review will analyze six scenarios involving different aspects of an engineer’s duty to disclose. The scenarios will fall into three areas: When the client doesn’t want to ask the right questions, when the client doesn’t know to ask the right questions, and when you wish the client wouldn’t ask the right questions. These three cases are newly issued by the Board of Ethical Review, so participants will be among the first to consider them.

City of Redmond Wetlands Project
Redmond has experienced significant growth since the installation of its current wastewater treatment facility in 1978. This growth is projected to continue, with Redmond’s population reaching 54,000 by 2045. The city’s current system can process and treat 2.8 million gallons per day; the system will need to increase capacity to 4.6 million gallons per day to accommodate the projected growth. The city is underway with the preliminary design phase of the development of the Redmond Wetlands Complex, with the final design expected to be completed in Winter of 2022 and construction beginning in February 2023.

Tuesday, November 2, 2021 Program “Hyster-Yale –Leveraging Limited PE staff to Develop EIT’s into PE’s”

Program Abstract:
How do you support and grow professional licensure within a large engineering community with a limited group of licensed engineering managers?
Many companies hire young, degreed engineers out of college. Often, they may already be engineers-in-training (EIT), having passed the first hurdle on a journey towards professional licensure. However, the ability to achieve professional licensure varies between companies and even within individual companies due to staffing. OAR 820-010-1020, “Education and Experience Requirements for Registration as a Professional Engineer,” sets minimum requirements for experience under the direction and supervision of a registered professional engineer. This often prevents EIT’s from finding a path to their PE license.
Meeting direction and supervision requirements had been a challenge for some of Hyster-Yale’s engineers at our Fairview, OR development center. Many interested young engineers striving for professional licensure weren’t able to meet the minimum experience requirement due to our management structure. The Hyster-Yale engineering community and PEO collaborated on a solution that Hyster-Yale submitted to and received general support from OBSEELS Board.
By sharing the Hyster-Yale Group’s story, you’ll learn about an alternate approach, leveraging PE’s to develop engineers and promote licensure.
