President’s Message

Dear PSPE and Chapter Members,

As February closes and March begins, I would like to thank everyone who supported Engineers’ week and MATHCOUNTS. Keep the spirit of E-week going and remind everyone how important our profession is. Lead by example. Volunteer at local events. Allow students to shadow you at work. Make E-Week more than just a week-long event. Make it a year-round commitment to making a difference. Making that commitment may be hard. Most engineers are analytical and cautious; we avoid confrontation and reflect on history. Does this sound familiar? How do you get along with someone that thinks differently than you? How do you react to that client or contractor who may be too aggressive? How do you manage a passive employee to maximize their potential? Our April meeting will answer all of these questions. Our speaker will teach you communication styles that will help you understand who you are, how to recognize personality traits in coworkers, and how to effectively communicate with all people. Knowing yourself and others is the first step in effective communication. Please attend this informative and fun session. Encourage coworkers, friends, and even spouses to attend. Understanding your communication style can be life changing to your personal and professional life! Don’t forget to remind everyone of the importance of licensure and to express the importance of involvement through the Local, State and National chapters. I challenge all members to encourage new membership and to reach out to their organizations to become sustaining associates. Please visit and like our page: https://www.facebook.com/PSPEpittsburgh/.

DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE ….

COMMUNICATION MAY BE THE MISSING PIECE

Your success in life is determined in large part by how well you interact with other people. Your

ability to effectively relate, communicate, influence and motivate others is a crucial skill in creating

successful relationships with customers, colleagues, family, and friends.

Join us on April 19th at ESWP (see registration on page 3) for a presentation from Dan Hudock for a

fun and informative session on personality types and effective communication in the workplace.

Dan Hudock has been a 15-year franchisee owner of the Sandler Training Company located in

Wexford. As a graduate of Grove City College and with more than 30 years in sales and 26 years in

sales management, Dan is recognized as one of the top Sandler trainers and speakers in the world

and has trained over 180 different industries with local and national businesses. Dan will bring a

wealth of real-life stories and humor to this presentation. He is able to provide hard-hitting

insights into the world of management and selling that few people can equal. Humor, life stories,

and a passion for results enable participants to truly change their world. We hope you take this

opportunity to join us on April 19 for an informative and entertaining evening.

AFTER ATTENDING THIS PRESENTATION, YOU WILL:

Understand who you are and how others perceive you.

Learn who others are … what they like and don’t like.

Know how to communicate with all kinds of people, especially those you don’t get along with (even that family member!).

I just can’t seem to click with certain people.

Some people just

bug me and I don’t know why.

I don’t know what to do when

someone tries to rush me off the phone or they talk so long we get

off topic.

People just don’t understand me.

The Pittsburgh Professional Engineer Page | 4 March 2018

The following excerpts are from The Magazine for Professional Engineers, (2018, January/February), Boykin, Danielle, “A Rising Threat Level.” Over the last few years, there has been a growing movement by some governors and legislators to target the regulation of occupations and professions under the guise of cutting government interference and boosting state economies. NSPE, which was founded on the importance of licensing to protect the public from unqualified practitioners, sees a very real threat. In partnership with state societies, NSPE is actively monitoring the situation and responding to those threats whenever and wherever they arise. So far, NSPE has mapped out 25 states where similar legislation, regulations, or executive orders have been introduced, signed, and/or passed. Although much of the legislation does not specifically target professional engineers, by opposing occupational licensure in general, the broad attacks sow confusion about the importance of engineering licensure and its role in protecting the public. In Ohio, a bill introduced to get rid of “unfriendly business regulations” (H.B. 289) could threaten licensing of engineers in the state. If passed as written, occupational licensing boards will be sunset at the end of 2023 or five years after a board is established. A board can be renewed by law upon review and demonstration of “public need” by a standing committee, called the Common Sense Initiative Office. Joseph V. Warino, P.E., F.NSPE, the Ohio Society of Professional Engineers’ vice president of legislative and government affairs, is concerned that the bill will lead to overreach that will harm the engineering profession. “Proponents of the bill have also mentioned the construction and development industry as an area of focus, and I can’t turn a blind eye to the fact that PEs may be impacted in some manner by this bill,” he says. The Ohio Society will focus on opposing the legislation and educating lawmakers about the PE’s role and the importance of licensure. Warino also recognizes that having NSPE member Louis W. Blessing III, P.E., as a representative in the state legislature has been helpful when issues affecting engineering licensure arise. More PEs, Warino believes, should get involved in the political system and run for office to serve as a voice of reason on these issues. “If you’re going to bring in a licensed engineer versus a graduate engineer, there’s a huge

difference there,” he says. “The whole premise of our license is to protect the health and safety of the public.” Pennsylvania PEs are facing a similar threat. In October, Governor Tom Wolf issued an executive order directing the Commissioner of the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs to review processes, fees, and continuing education requirements of all occupational and professional licenses. As soon as details became public, the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers began to hear from concerned members. Wolf isn’t using the playbook of the American Legislative Exchange Council, say John Wanner, PSPE’s legislative consultant, but the society will still pay very close attention to this review process because it covers the State Board of Professional Engineers and other design professional boards. “This review doesn’t specifically target engineers and involves ensuring that there are less barriers to enter some professions for people who may have had disadvantages or difficulties in their past,” he says. Qualifications, safe practices, ethical conduct, and public protection are all essential parts of the licensing of professional engineers, which has more than a century of successes under its belt. Though lawmakers and regulators come and go, and political winds can quickly change, the licensing of PEs is critical. No other measure can ensure the qualifications of the men and women responsible for designing the innumerable systems that can affect the public health and safety.

Licensure Under Attack

Pennsylvania PEs are facing a similar threat. In October, Governor Tom Wolf issued an executive order directing the

Commissioner of the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs to

review processes, fees, and continuing education requirements of all

occupational and professional licenses.

Patrick Hassett accepted the 2018 Outstanding

Engineering Achievement Award on behalf of the City of

Pittsburgh Beechwood Boulevard (Greenfield) Bridge

Replacement Project. The original structure spanned

over a neighborhood street and stream. By the 1950s,

however, the structure carried traffic over one of the

busiest stretches of interstate in Western Pennsylvania,

Interstate 376 (the Parkway East), carrying nearly 85,000

vehicles per day under the structure. By this time, the

aging concrete arch that was originally conceived as a

grand entrance to Schenley Park was showing its age.

Deteriorating concrete meant the arch ribs were

wrapped in protective netting, and a “bridge under the

bridge” was left in place due to concerns with falling

concrete. The new bridge consists of a 287-foot steel

open spandrel arch. In order to minimize impacts to the

Parkway during construction, each rib of the arch

consists of just three field-installed pieces of steel.

Original stone architectural features of the 1921 bridge

were incorporated into the design of the new bridge.

February 10, 2018, marked our 34th year of hosting the MATHCOUNTS competition. The competition was held at the A. W. Beattie Career Center in Ross Township for the fifth year. There was a grand total of 129 students representing 17 schools from Allegheny County competing with the goal of reaching the upcoming State and National competitions. This year’s winning team (for the third year in a row) was Marshall Middle School (North Allegheny School District), coached by Tianyu Jiang/Shannon Coulter. The team mathletes were Glen Jiang (Team Captain), George Jiang, Thrisha Kalpatthi, and Angela Wu.

The top four individual winners from the Countdown Round were George Jiang (1st) – Marshall Middle School, Alan Chen (2nd) – Ingomar Middle School, Glen Jiang (3rd) – Marshall Middle School, and Grace Wang (4th) – Carson Middle School.

The winning team from Marshall Middle School was

invited to the Annual National Engineers’ Week Banquet

held on Saturday, February 24, 2018, at the Engineers

Society of Western Pennsylvania – 337 Fourth Avenue,

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The team was recognized and

presented with the Keddal Cup Trophy.

In addition to the Marshall Middle School team and the

top four individuals, this year, we have a Wildcard Team

representing the PSPE Pittsburgh Chapter that will also

compete at the State competition. The Wildcard Team is

from Ingomar Middle School (also from the North

Allegheny School District), coached by Megan McGrath.

The team mathletes were Alan Chen (Team Captain),

Amanda Hulver, Rohan Reddy, and Eric Wang.

Next stop, the State competition to be held on Saturday,

March 23-24, 2018, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to

compete against the top finalists of the 23 regional

Deadline day for submissions to U.S. Supreme Court regarding Pennsylvania congressional map mess.

Parties invited to submit their arguments regarding the Pennsylvania congressional map mess have until 3 pm today to get them in to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Legislative Republican leaders roughly a week and a half ago requested another emergency stay from the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking to block the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s effort to impose a new congressional map, drawn by the court and its hired advisor, in advance of the 2018 elections. Since then, briefs have been filed for and against the application for a stay received by the U.S. Supreme Court. The last attempt by legislative GOP leaders to get a U.S. Supreme Court stay – which was made prior to the state Court drawing its own map – was denied by Alito three days after the deadline for all appropriate parties to submit their filings to the court … so it’s seems possible we’ll know before the end of the week if the stay request has any legs. Additionally this week, a hearing has been scheduled for Friday, March 9, during which a three-judge panel of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania plans to hear arguments regarding a separate Republican challenge to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s implementation of a new congressional district map for the 2018 election cycle.

Final week of PA’s 2018-19 budget hearings starts today.

The final week of Fiscal Year 2018-19 state budget hearings in the Appropriations committees of the state House of Representatives and the Senate begins today. Next up is an all-day hearing in the House for the state Department of Education. Meanwhile, in the Senate, lawmakers will get a chance to question representatives of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the Department of Revenue/Pennsylvania Lottery, and the Department of Community and Economic Development. On Tuesday, the Education Department returns for another budget hearing, this time in the Senate, with a Department of Aging hearing to follow later in the afternoon. The House will be back at it with one more all-day affair, hosting the Department of Human Services. All Senate budget hearings are held in Hearing Room #1 on the Ground Floor of the state Capitol Complex’s North Office Building, while the House hearings are held in the House Majority Caucus Room (Room 140) of the Main Capitol Building.
