Recent News & Announcements

ACEC of TN, TSPE and ASCE

 Will join forces for an

Annual Meeting and Professional Development Conference

  to remember  –  mark your calendars!
 September 13-14
Embassy Suites Murfreesboro

There will be four educational tracks, with something for everyone. Plan to get most of your required professional development hours (up to 11) in a concentrated and cost-effective manner. How’s that for value added? Watch for more detailed information next month.

You will also have the opportunity to network with engineers, business owners, product experts, and service providers!

For room reservations call the Embassy Suites Murfreesboro by August 22, 2012 at 615-890-4464 or 1-800-Embassy and ask for the ENG group rate, which is $129 per night (plus tax, of course!). We have negotiated a discounted hotel room rate and your patronage of this official hotel makes it possible for us to secure the space needed for the event at a greatly reduced cost.

Registration forms and more details on the schedule will be posted later. This year you will be able to sign up and pay the registration fee on line.

If you would like to sponsor or exhibit at this event, please call Judy Logue at 615-242-2486 or Josh Corum at 865-560-2887.

**Next Generation Science Standards Draft Available**

My Fellow Engineers:

The Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers invites you to participate in a survey of Draft Science Standards for our Next Generation of K-12 students.

In a collaborative effort, led by State teams, members of the scientific, educational, business and professional communities are working together to develop science education standards for the students of tomorrow.

Your TSPE is a partner organization of the Tennessee Next Generation Science Standards Leadership Team and, as such, is vitally interested in your opinion. This is your opportunity to influence basic science curricula for our future engineers. Your opinion is valuable.

Please click Next Generation Science Standards to review the document and take the survey available on the same website.

The deadline for comments is June 1, 2012

Thank you for you involvement.

Jim Currey, PE
TSPE Education Outreach Committee Chair
