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:2025 Order of the Engineer Ceremony - Hosted by Cobb GSPE
DESCRIPTION:We will have a social hour from 6 to 7 PM and the ceremony is at 7. \nThe Order of the Engineer was initiated in the United States to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering profession\, to bridge the gap between training and experience\, and to present to the public a visible symbol identifying the engineer. The Order is not a membership organization; there are never any meetings to attend or dues to pay. Instead\, the Order fosters a unity of purpose and the honoring of one’s pledge lifelong. \n\n\n\n\nThe Engineer’s Ring in the United States is a stainless steel ring\, worn on the fifth finger of the working hand by engineers who have accepted the Obligation of an Engineer in a Ring Ceremony. \n\n\n  \nThis Order of the Engineer ring ceremony is presented by Mr. Luther Cox.  All professors (especially those at KSU) are invited to participate along with students and all engineers.  The cost will be $20 for professors and fellow engineers and free to students.
