Edwin Tamang, PE with Kimley-Horn, examines SECME students drafts of technical drawingsThey accompanied our Jim Kunard, a professional engineer with 30 years experience in the field of civil engineering and certification in “green” design. His experience ranges from power plant structures, high energy pipe stress analysis, and water management to bridges, parks, fire stations, libraries, and parking garages. Jim is past-president of the Palm Beach Chapter of the Florida Engineering Society and leads the Society’s education outreach initiatives as chair of the K-12 Committee.
Jim Kunard, PE, examines SECME students drafts of technical drawingsOur SECME chapter, sponsored by Mr. Erich Landstrom, provides many such opportunities for students to participate in hands-on activities that involve engineering problem solving techniques. The club provides not only a deeper understanding of the engineering profession but also a foundation for college-level engineering education. Students also interact with practicing engineers who help them understand the importance of education in the global economy with the ultimate goal of encouraging students to pursue postsecondary degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
