SUMMARY:NSBE: Professional Engineer Society Mixer
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nConnect with Twin Cities STEM Professionals.  Join engineers\, technologists\, and students from across the Twin Cities for the Professional Engineering Society Mixer\, a collaborative networking event bringing together members from multiple engineering and STEM organizations.\n\n\nParticipating organizations include NSBE\, IEEE\, INCOSE\, SAE\, SHPE\, EWB\, MNSPE\, BIT\, APWA\, SME\, ION\, AIAA\, MN ASQ\, ASCE\, and MFESTS. \nThis event provides an opportunity to connect with professionals\, learn about engineering societies\, and build relationships across disciplines and career stages. Whether you are a student exploring career paths or an experienced professional looking to expand your network\, this evening is designed to bring the engineering community together. \nThe evening will include interactive networking activities\, organization introductions\, and a keynote talk by Steve Gompertz\, QRx Partners\, who will share insights on how engineering plays a critical role in saving and restoring lives through medical technology. \nA catered Italian dinner will be served during the program with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage options. \nStudents\, early-career engineers\, and experienced professionals are all welcome. \n\n\n\nSpeaker\nSteve Gompertz is a leader in Quality Systems management. His career includes roles in quality systems development and implementation\, project management\, engineering automation\, configuration management\, audit\, and software development for companies including St. Jude Medical\, Boston Scientific\, Medtronic\, Vital Images\, and Control Data. He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University\, and certifications in quality management\, biomedical auditing\, project management\, and configuration management. \nMr. Gompertz has developed a Quality Systems Capability Model merging Risk Management and CMMI concepts to create the only method available to quantitatively measure a quality system’s effectiveness and potential. He is also responsible for coining the term\, “dysfunctional compliance” to describe the situation where a company meets all regulatory and statutory requirements but still experiences significant quality issues due to not addressing quality from a true systems perspective. \nSteve Gompertz’s LinkedIn profile \n\n\n\n\nVenue Information: Walter Library | University of Minnesota Libraries – Room 402 \nParking Information: https://campusmaps.umn.edu/walter-library
