PES Changes its Name and Logo |
The Power Engineering Society will now be known as the Power & Energy Society.The new PES Logo is shown at the top of the page. New trends related to increased public interest and awareness of energy topics, aging workforce in the power
industry, and recruitment of young professionals to the field are critical for the survival of our industry and the PES. IEEE believes that the new name will provide a better focus toward our mission scope, our field of interest, our relationship with the public and our ability to recruit and maintain new members. For more detail see the December 15, 2007 letter to the membership that appeared in the January/February 2008 Power and Energy Magazine. |

Our thanks to James Mercier, P.E. of Texas Department of Transportation |
We thank James Mercier, P.E. a senior engineer at Texas Department of Transportation for his enlightening presentation on Texas roadway illumination, titled: Roadway Illumination, How May I Enlighten You? With the support of his excellent slide show backing up his lecture, James convinced us that there is far more engineering work that goes into adequate lighting of roadways than meets the eye. We appreciate his driving to San Antonio, fighting I-35 traffic, to share his wisdom with us. |
