East Coast people, first, let me be honest: yes, we’re all giggling about your 5.8 earthquake on this coast. And no, it isn’t fair, but you probably laugh at our occasional funnel clouds. Second, it’s still very important to go report what you observed if you felt the earthquake; use this USGS link: USGS: Did [...]

The Topiary Personnel Roster
Posted in employment, job search, markets, work, workplace, tagged Career, economy, engineering, job search, management, society, work, workplace on 18 August, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been interviewing with a lot of companies lately, and I recently heard a comment on the state of the industry that attracted my attention. An employer I was talking to mentioned, off-hand, that despite the economic conditions and the number of people looking for jobs, companies are having a surprisingly difficult time finding personnel [...]
The Me Generation?

I’m 45 now, I’ve been an engineer for over half my life. Bit by bit, I have passed into the second half of my career without ever seeing the change coming. Every once in a while I run into a discussion, in person or online, about the Millenials as the “Me Generation”, about how young [...]
Wet Lab
Posted in teaching, tagged engineering, Personal, science, teaching, water quality on 9 February, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Nothing momentous to report, just a snapshot of my students working in the lab this afternoon. No broken glassware, no spill, no disasters (that I’m aware of, anyway.) Hopefully the results won’t be too wacky either! The water they are analyzing for total coliforms and fecal coliforms comes from a site near the mouth of [...]

I’m teaching two classes this semester: Environmental Impact Assessment, primarily for seniors; and Water Quality and Environmental Health, for second- and third-year students. The water quality class is split up into two groups for lab purposes. We took advantage of the unseasonably beautiful weather this past week to go do some field work along Jolly [...]
Great Expectations…

Sigh. Although my students do the best they can with the background they have, I continue to be stunned at the low requirements of the American education system. A sizable portion of college and university classes here are basically remedial high school. I’m getting lots of people in their second or third year in a [...]
Kicking off a new decade

2010 was a difficult year for most people I know, and for me personally. I was sick, our car was stolen right out of our driveway, I lost a beloved cat to illness, I had unexpected (and unentertaining) expenses, work has been very slow, etc. I stopped writing on my blog early in the year, [...]
