The IEEE Pittsburgh Section is most fortunate to accept the offer of a renowned national consultant on troubleshooting intriguing problems with elusive remedies. Whether processes be electroplating or electronic and chip manufacturing or major power equipment such a transformers and breakers, unacceptable failure rates or minor defects plague the outcome. Through real-world engineering case studies—including pitting in chrome plating at Harley-Davidson, bent intakes on a Corvette, and mold issues at Sikorsky—this presentation illustrates how perseverance, targeted mentorship, and relentless self-improvement can transform engineer high performers. Attendees will leave with insights into overcoming early career adversity, building competence without natural genius, and reshaping not only a career—but a life.
