DESCRIPTION:Come one\, come all\, and listen as HP/Agilent Microwave Guru K
 en Rush shares his Ten Secrets on how to avoid some of the most common car
 eer pitfalls encountered by engineers. Ken has seen incredible highs and l
 ows as he navigated some of the most exciting\, yet challenging waters of 
 electrical engineering. Whether you’re a student or recent graduate
  – or a seasoned manager in the twilight of your career\, Ken will 
 keep you spellbound as he recounts his experiences working at one of the m
 ost groundbreaking and trendsetting engineering companies in history. Afte
 r earning a BS in Aerospace Engineering and an MSEE from the University of
  Tennessee\, for five years at Oak Ridge National Laboratories Ken designe
 d and built state-of-the-art Gamma Ray and Neutron detectors\, some of whi
 ch are still in use today. Then the hand of fate dealt him an opportunity 
 to join HP in Colorado Springs where he quickly became immersed in a corpo
 rate culture that has been copied by thousands of companies worldwide â
 €“ copied\, but never equaled!! During his career\, Ken has seen just 
 about all of the mistakes an engineer can make\, and he’ll be the f
 irst to admit he’s made his share of them. Ken firmly believes that
  the Ego is the single biggest enemy of an engineer\, and he’s deve
 loped Ten Secrets that help any engineer – at any stage of his or h
 er career. Listen as Ken describes the Section Manager’s Dilemma\, 
 where a young aggressive engineer gets the opportunity to manage people\, 
 and then blindly plows forward towards self-implosion with the belief that
  anything can be done – without having any understanding of what ac
 tually can – and can’t be done. Ken will also share the stor
 y of the Engineer’s Dilemma – the misguided belief that you 
 always keep your ideas to yourself\, lest someone else steal them –
  while missing the real Secret of Synergy and working with others as a tea
 m. And of course\, Ken will tell of the one-on-one encounters he had with 
 the two engineering Mega-Gods: Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. Don’t
  miss this September 19 presentation – it will be one for the recor
 d books.\n\nSpeaker(s): Ken Rush\, \, Ken Rush\, \, Ken Rush\, \n\nBldg: L
