Co-sponsored by: Puget Sound PMI The goal of this session is to help Agile leaders take their teams to a higher level.  Areas and tools covered include: improving team and personal communication skills with methods such as Johari’s window, using situational leadership to optimize team effectiveness, and how to set SMART goals for team member evaluations.  We will also discuss Results Oriented Work Environments (ROWE) and the pros and cons of teams that work from home. As a bonus we will review common techniques for helping teams to improve their project processes with tools such as Pareto analysis, value stream mapping, and root cause analysis. Speaker(s): Greg Smith, Location: Room: 1919 Bldg: Building 99 Microsoft Redmond, Washington

Welcome back from the summer break!  We are fortunate to offer an overview of the updated IEEE 1584-2018 regarding Arc Flash Incident Energy Analysis Implications.  In the presentation we will review the changes made as part of IEEE 1584-2018, and how it will affect how arc flash studies are completed.  You will also learn the major differences between the 2002 and 2018 standard and how the varies software providers are handling these changes.    Peter Hogan Peter Hogan is the US. Operations Manager, Power Systems Engineering.  He has 12 years of electrical power systems experience, and currently managers Eaton’s power systems engineering group employing 90+ power systems engineers throughout the US.  Prior to his current position, he managed the field services operations in Oregon, employing 15 field services engineers in Oregon, Washington and Idaho.  He started his career in Eaton as a power systems engineer, completing over 175 arc flash studies prior to moving to management.  He has a BSEE from Gonzaga and a MSEE from Oregon State University Location: 701 Pike St Suite 1200 Seattle, Washington 98101

Co-sponsored by: CH06102 Presentation 1:  Automated Design Rule Check for EMC Design By Federico Centola, Lead EMC Designer, Google, Mountain View, California The EMC design of PCBs often requires board reviews and inspections to insure that EMC guidelines are followed and that there are no major EMC design violations. This presentation discusses the utility of Automated Design Rule Checking (DRC) tools for EMC, possible ways of automating the process and the importance of having customized rules and design parameters.   Presentation 2: Utilizing Reverberation Chambers as a Versatile Test Environment for Assessing the Performance of Components and Systems By Dennis Lewis, Technical Fellow, Boeing, Seattle, Washington Electromagnetic reverberation chambers have been used for many years by the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) community to measure the susceptibility and emissions for various electronic components and systems. This presentation describes how statistical processes were used to reduce the uncertainty of these chambers to a level necessary for precision metrology applications. Speaker(s): Federico Centola, Dennis Lewis Agenda: 10:30 am – 11:00 am      Registration 11:00 am – 11:15 am      Welcome and Introductions 11:15 am – 12:15 pm      First presentation by Federico Centola of Google – EMC Design 12:15 pm – 1:15 pm        Lunch and CKC Labs Tour for those interested in seeing the new additions 1:15 pm – 2:30 pm          Second presentation by Dennis Lewis of Boeing – EMC Test 2:30 pm – 3:00 pm          Live demonstrations of testing in a reverb chamber Location: CKC Labs 22116 23rd Drive SE Bothell, Washington 98021

Built by the Army Corps of Engineers between 1933 and 1942, Grand Coulee Dam was the largest concrete structure in the world for decades. With the expansion of the third power station in 1974 made it the largest power plant in the world at the time. It still remains the largest power plant in the USA with a capacity of over 6 GW in three power stations. It also has a large pumped storage facility of several hundred MW that links to the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. As the center-piece of the Columbia Basin Project, the dam's reservoir supplies water for the irrigation of 671,000 acres. Visit Requirements: This is a hard hat, VIP tour of an operating power plant so closed toe shoes and sensible clothing is required. Shorts, dresses, sleeveless shirts, tank tops, high heels, and any long flowing attire are not permitted Photo ID is required for this tour. Unfortunately, US Citizens Only due to time it takes to perform background checks 4-6 weeks. US citizens will be required to present their driver’s licenses or valid ID the day of the tour. This is a technical tour for IEEE members and their quests. There is a shorter tour available for the public every hour that may be more appropriate for others such as younger children. More info on the public tour can be found at http://www.usbr.gov/pn/grandcoulee/visit/tour.html There is a significant amount of  standing, walking and climbing stairs on this tour. Cameras are allowed in most areas of the tour. Restricted areas will be pointed out during the tour briefing.   RSVP Instructions: To attend this tour, you must RSVP by Sept 13, 2019.
