Engineers move the world forward - Engineering Progress. Without early engineers, and engineers of today, where would our world be?
We see the advances that have been made in our country and in other industrial leaders throughout the world...in technology, medicine, infrastructure. Engineers made this possible. In sharp contrast, we wee Third World countries suffering with poor sanitation, unclean water, primitive house, non-existent medicine.
At the 2011 ISPE Annual Convention, we will take a look at how we are Engineering Progress, in our communities, in our country, and throughout the world. Education Sessions will introduce and explore methods of Engineering Efficiencies and Sustainability in transportation, housing and natural resources management. Top notch speakers will share their experiences with innovative techniques in Engineering Infrastructure and Safety. And lastly, in order to forge ahead in other areas, our experts will share tips and tools on Engineering Success in our business and professional practice.
