IEEE GOLD is sponsoring their last online seminar for 2007, "The 21st Century Engineer", by Adrian Pais scheduled for Tuesday, 4 December 2007 at 9:00am Eastern (New York) or 14:00 GMT for one hour.   Seminar Abstract: The last decade has seen a dramatic change in the economic and social landscape of society. At the forefront of this change has been the engineering profession, which has consistently produced groundbreaking innovations. Today, engineers are faced with ever-changing business models, shorter product life cycles, cutthroat competition and conflicting values. This talk will discuss the changing nature of the engineering profession, and the challenges and opportunities that this presents. Six essential values that an engineer should possess in the 21st century will be identified and discussed: holism, leadership, continuous learning, creativity, entrepreneurship and social responsibility.   Biography: Adrian Pais (PhD) is a telecommunications specialist presently working in a consulting role for the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (TNO). He serves as a representative for young engineers on the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board. His paper on "The 21st century engineer" won the IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology) Write Around the World competition, and he has presented it in several countries including New Zealand, Zambia, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany and Hong Kong.
