DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Pittsburgh Section is most fortunate to accept the off
 er of a renowned national consultant on troubleshooting intriguing problem
 s with elusive remedies. Whether processes be electroplating or electronic
  and chip manufacturing or major power equipment such a transformers and b
 reakers\, unacceptable failure rates or minor defects plague the outcome. 
 Through real-world engineering case studies—including pitting in chrome 
 plating at Harley-Davidson\, bent intakes on a Corvette\, and mold issues 
 at Sikorsky—this presentation illustrates how perseverance\, targeted me
 ntorship\, and relentless self-improvement can transform engineer high per
 formers. Attendees will leave with insights into overcoming early career a
 dversity\, building competence without natural genius\, and reshaping not 
 only a career—but a life.\n\n[]\n\nFor questions please contact organize
