Eastern Idaho Engineering Week Banquet
Come join us for a banquet dinner to celebrate engineering in Eastern Idaho!
Hosted by Brigham Young University - Idaho, the Idaho American Nuclear Society, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and Eastern Idaho Section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers have come together in a joint effort to organize an Engineering week banquet.
Many of you are aware that Eastern Idaho is growing and growing fast! It will be thanks to many of the engineering community's efforts that this growth is possible. Many other engineering disciplines are seeing incredible growth as well, especially our friends from INL as they help advance nuclear reactors, power generation, and grid management. We came together to organize this event as our way to say thank you for all your efforts in whatever field you serve. While our funds didn't allow us to make the event free, we tried to make it as cheap as possible for you.
We look forward to seeing professionals and future professionals alike join us for a wonderful evening of camaraderie and community!

Lynn Watson of Brigham Young University - Idaho
The Engineer: An unexpected journey
Biography:
Lynn Watson was a second-generation HP alumnus. His father had started with HP as one of the first employees, and first extra-California manager. After degrees in Electrical Engineering at BYU and Cornell University, he started his career for HP in Boise, as an engineer to create the first Laser Printers. After a dozen years at HP there, and in Spain, he quit to start his own fabless ASIC company. That company, In-System Design, created custom silicon solutions for printing, and the first USB mass-storage solutions. It was sold to Cypress Semiconductor and remained in Boise for many years. Lynn loves all things electronics, Internet-of-Things, docker/VM things, amateur radio, home-control, and all combinations.
