SUMMARY:Engineering Continuous Improvement—Beyond Manufacturing - Metro Atlanta Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Atlanta Metro Chapter of the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers (GSPE) invites engineering professionals\, students\, and the public to attend its free monthly meeting on Monday\, November 10\, 2025 at the Piccadilly Cafeteria\, Tucker. \nThe featured topic\, “Engineering Continuous Improvement Programs—Not Just Manufacturing\,” will be presented by J. Michael Gerster\, a seasoned manufacturing executive and Lean consultant at NoMu Lean Manufacturing Consulting. \nAbout the Presentation\nWhat if innovation wasn’t just about new products—but about improving the way we work every single day?Drawing from his decades of experience in global manufacturing\, J. Michael Gerster will explore the concept of Continuous Improvement (CI) as a transformative strategy that applies far beyond factory floors. Using real-world manufacturing scenarios\, Gerster will demonstrate how engineers can lead CI initiatives that improve efficiency\, eliminate waste\, boost on-time performance\, and drive measurable gains across sectors—from logistics to healthcare to public infrastructure. \nAttendees will gain insights into: \n\nTurning daily operational frustrations into opportunities\nUnlocking hidden cash flow and reducing lead times\nApplying shop-floor CI principles to engineering workflows and services\n\nThis engaging discussion will challenge the idea that innovation is only about flashy new gadgets—highlighting instead the powerful impact engineers can have by optimizing systems\, processes\, and teams through disciplined improvement strategies. \nAbout the Speaker\nJ. Michael Gerster brings over 30 years of international experience transforming traditional operations into high-performing enterprises. Originally from Germany\, Gerster has worked across Europe and the U.S. leading both high-volume and high-variation manufacturing environments. He now advises manufacturers on driving quality\, throughput\, and delivery gains through Lean thinking and process innovation. His career journey—spanning executive roles and hands-on consulting—makes him a compelling voice on how engineering leadership can make a lasting impact. \nWho Should Attend?\n\nLicensed Professional Engineers (PEs)\nAspiring PEs and engineering students\nTechnology professionals and public decision-makers\nAnyone curious about engineering’s role in organizational improvement\n\nThis program qualifies for one Professional Development Hour (PDH) and is free of charge. In-person attendees can network\, grab dinner (on your own)\, and participate in a live Q&A. The session will also be archived for later viewing on the GSPE YouTube Channel.\n\nMore Info:🔗 GSPE Atlanta Metro Chapter📧 Contact: \n\n\nJesus Sandoval\, P.E. – jesussandoval@comcast.net \n\n\nJim McGarrah\, P.E. – jmcgarrah@bellsouth.net

SUMMARY:Atlanta Metro Chapter - The Fundamentals of Data Centers
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 13\, 2026 | 6:00 PM | Piccadilly Cafeteria\, Tucker\, GA \nData centers power nearly everything we do — but most people have no idea what happens inside one. This month\, we’re pulling back the curtain. \nJoin the GSPE Atlanta Metro Chapter on Monday\, April 13th for our free monthly meeting\, featuring Farris Shaheen\, PE\, Director for Strategic Mission Critical\, presenting on The Fundamentals of Data Centers. \nShaheen will walk through what data centers actually do\, the equipment inside them\, why they’re built where they are\, and what it takes to keep them running. He’ll also share his perspective on why data centers are dominating the news right now — and what challenges lie ahead as AI-driven demand reshapes the industry. \nFrom the server rooms of the 1990s to today’s AI-centric hyperscale facilities\, data centers have become some of the most consequential infrastructure on the planet. They use power on par with large factories\, require massive buildings and specialized systems\, and employ surprisingly few people — yet they quietly underpin global banking\, healthcare\, communications\, and more. This presentation is your chance to understand what’s really going on inside them. \nSpeaker: Farris Shaheen\, PE brings 39 years of electrical engineering experience\, with the past 15 focused exclusively on mission critical facility design and construction. He is a registered PE in Georgia and 29 additional states. \nThis presentation qualifies for 1 PDH. \n📅 Monday\, April 13\, 2026 🕕 Networking at 6:00 PM | Presentation at 7:00 PM 📍 Piccadilly Cafeteria\, 2000 Crescent Centre Blvd.\, Tucker\, GA 30084 💲 Free (Dinner on your own) — open to engineers\, students\, and the public \nCan’t make it in person? The presentation will be archived for free viewing at youtube.com/GSPEng.
