About the Topic
The CNNNJ website (www.technologyontap.org) is the centerpiece of the Consultants’ Network. It provides many features critical to promoting the businesses run by network members. Features of the website include:

Managing and maintaining websites with changing content can be a lot of work. For the benefit of network members, content maintenance of the CNNNJ website has been automated.
The presentation will explore how the automated website was built, what tools were used and why. The benefits, trade-offs and pitfalls associated with all website development along with the typical challenges will be discussed

Medical Device Design

About
the Talk
Medical
device design is an exercise in optimization with the goal of achieving the
device with best effectiveness. This
optimization process is constrained by safety, reliability and
manufacturability requirements, and failure to satisfy these may limit the success
of the product to the insides of an academic laboratory. In this talk, I will describe the origin and
the content of these constraints as well as discuss the state of the medical
device industry in general.

Engineers Meet:
IEEE Section’s Congress
On
Wednesday, June 11, 2008 the North Jersey Section Professional Activities Committee,
Graduates of the Last Decade, and Women in Engineering will meet for a
discussion on “Sections Congress - An opportunity.” The speaker will be Roger K. Sullivan, Past
Region 1 Director and Member of the IEEE BoD.
About
the Meeting
Considering
Roger Sullivan’s present position in Region 1 as the Sections Congress
Coordinator, the topic will be Sections
Congress - An opportunity. I think this
will appeal to the PACE, GOLD & WIE attendees. Roger will talk about the status of
appropriate recommendations from the
last Section’s Congress and about the Region 1 recommendation process for the
Sections Congress in September 2008.
These proposed recommendations from Region 1 will be discussed and prioritized at the
Region 1 Summer meeting.
All
Welcome!
Members and students from
all professional societies and engineering disciplines are welcome. We now have attendees from IEEE, ASME, NSPE,
ASCE and AEA. For information about these
