The officers of the Oregon/SW Washington Chapter of the Industry Applications Society invite you to join us Wednesday evening, January 21, 2026, for our dinner, meeting, and technical presentation.  We appreciate the support of all who attend our dinners and presentations.  We will be meeting at our “home base” MEGI Engineering in Lake Oswego. This location is easy to access by car from the Interstate 5 Kruse Way/Lake Oswego exits. Ample free parking and entrance at the East side of the building.

The cost for dinner is $20 with food from QDOBA Mexican Eats. There is no charge to attend the presentation only.  Our IAS Chapter always offers free dinners for local PSU, OSU, George Fox, U of P, OIT and WSUV Electrical Engineering Students who attend our meetings. This is an excellent networking opportunity for students as our meetings are attended by many professionals in consulting, industrial engineering, and electrical equipment manufacturing.

Topic:

CEMENT 101: HOW IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST DURABLE BUILDING PRODUCTS MADE AND HOW CAN WE MAKE IT BETTER?

Abstract: Cement is produced through a complex process that consumes a significant amount of thermal and electrical energy and creates carbon dioxide as a major byproduct. This presentation will provide an overview of the cement making journey from the quarry to concrete, as well as the opportunities to refine this process for decarbonization and energy consumption reduction while providing a key building block for modern civilization.
