IEEE Orlando Section Congratulates Dr. David Flinchbaugh for 60 years of membership

The IEEE President's Office in Piscataway, NJ sent out a pin, which was received on October 24, 2014 by Dr. David E. Flinchbaugh, P.E. acknowledging his 60 years of continuous active membership, starting with his joining as a college student member at the April 1954 Conference and Exposition of the "Institute of Radio Engineers" at the New York City Coliseum.

On October 1, 2014, Dr. Flinchbaugh also received a letter granting him an Honorable Mention for his work toward inventing a solution in the "Creating the Future" design competition conducted by the new Medical Design Briefs publisher in NYC, which also has published NASA Tech Briefs for several decades. A description of his work and its importance to society will be included in next month's November issue of their publication.

He has entered the "Patents for Humanity" competition sponsored by the United States Patent & Trademark Office, with his seven issued patents and 25 additional patent applications for medical devices, systems, and procedures.

He has also become involved with one of the newest IEEE organizations, the "IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society", where their newly elected leader is located in Gainesville, FL.

With his new 501(c)(3) (pending) charitable organization, the "Foundation Fighting Fatal Infection and Disease" he has also applied for a grant with the IEEE Life Member Foundation which he and his wife of 57 years, Heide, hope will speed their ability to provide the Wounded Warriors, the Disable American Veterans, the Wounded Airmen, and other similar groups of disabled personnel with their unique, FDA-certified, clinically-proven life-saving medical products.

Teaching Opportunity - Wekiva High School Laser/Photonics Academy

The Valencia College Division of Engineering, Computer Programming, and Technology was recently informed that one of the teachers in the Laser/Photonics Academy at Wekiva High School, which is a partnership with Valencia College, is not returning this fall. These leaves the academy students at Wekiva without a teacher for two classes. I am committed to helping Wekiva to replace the teacher before the 2014-2015 school year begins for Orange County Public Schools. Here is some information about the Academy: https://www.ocps.net/lc/north/hwe/Documents/Laser%20Photonics%20Brochure.pdf

The teacher for these two classes must have a masters degree in electrical engineering, electronics, or photonics. If a candidate is a certified teacher, they will be eligible for the full-time position at Wekiva HS and will teach two additional classes in electronics. If not, they can still teach there as a Valencia Dual Enrollment instructor, at a pay scale that is higher than the Valencia adjunct rate, for the two needed photonics courses – see here: https://valenciacollege.edu/HR/documents/ValenciaCollegeSalarySchedule14-15.pdf (Page 5 shows dual enrollment salary in parentheses)

If you or someone that you know is interested in applying for this opportunity, the turn-around time will be fairly quick. Please let me know and I will facilitate the appropriate connections and process.

Please share this message with anyone you think might be qualified/interested.
