ABSTRACT:

Pat will speak on the Keys to Success in a Technical Career.  Working on a gas turbine requires more than technical ability:  skills, habits, and practices that enable an engineer to effectively contribute to a large, complex team.  Pat will share tips and stories she has collected over the years (some through painful personal experiences) to give insight into what can help and what can hinder you in your engineering career on new research directions required to address the challenges.
