Be Part of a Doctoral Study

"My name is Linda Force and I am a licensed civil engineer in a doctoral program writing my dissertation on U.S. engineers. It is a nationwide study on the engineers’ work conditions in the fast-changing environment.

I am in the Doctoral program at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL. My research will cover Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, and Electrical Engineers. I need electrical engineers to participate in my study. I have a survey questionnaire that takes about 15 minutes to complete. Many of the questions are demographic and engineer career oriented. The other questions come from published, peer-reviewed, academic sub-scales for the different variables which form my hypotheses.

I will be happy to share my results when I finish."

Send Us Your News

If you have information of interest to IEEE Kansas City Section members, please send that to the Publications Officer (writer @ ieee.org). Here are some examples of what we're looking for:

News pertaining to individual IEEE members of all grades, including students:

  • Obituaries
  • Awards, promotions, appointments, honors
  • Notable achievements
  • "Looking for work"--send a paragraph explaining what you do and how to reach you.

News to benefit other members

  • Technical seminars that are open to Section members
  • New courses
  • Job openings

There is no "deadline." Just send information as you get it, and the Publications Officer will add it to the next eNL (if the item is appropriate and if space permits--and space nearly always permits).

Thought for the Day

Waiting to solve a problem never makes it any easier to solve. You simply put up with it longer.
