The officers of the Oregon/SW Washington Chapter of the Industry Applications Society invite you to join us Wednesday evening, April 15, 2026, for our dinner, meeting, and technical presentation.  We appreciate the support of all who attend our dinners and presentations.  We will be meeting at our “home base” MEGI Engineering in Lake Oswego. This location is easy to access by car from the Interstate 5 Kruse Way/Lake Oswego exits. Ample free parking and entrance at the East side of the building.

The cost for dinner is with food from QDOBA Mexican Eats. There is no charge to attend the presentation only.  Our IAS Chapter always offers free dinners for local PSU, OSU, George Fox, U of P, OIT and WSUV Electrical Engineering Students who attend our meetings. This is an excellent networking opportunity for students as our meetings are attended by many professionals in consulting, industrial engineering, and electrical equipment manufacturing.

Technology roadmapping is a powerful strategic planning approach that integrates scientific and technological insights with product development and business objectives. It enables organizations to identify emerging opportunities, align resources, and effectively navigate complex innovation landscapes.

In this interactive workshop, participants will gain a comprehensive introduction to both the concept and practical application of technology roadmapping. The session will combine expert presentations, group exercises, and discussions, providing a hands-on learning experience to reinforce key concepts.

• Gain a foundational understanding of technology roadmapping concepts and methodologies
• Participate in team-based exercises to apply learning in real-world scenarios
• Explore practical applications across industries, including energy efficiency
• Enhance your ability to align technology strategy with business goals

This workshop is ideal for:

• Technology planners and strategists
• Engineers and innovation leaders
• Project and product managers
• Anyone involved in planning and developing new technologies

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

• Develop a working knowledge of technology roadmapping concepts and applications
• Understand how to create graphical frameworks for complex strategic issues
• Gain access to resources and tools for further exploration and implementation

Join us for this engaging session to strengthen your strategic planning capabilities and learn how to effectively map the future of technology and innovation.

(Note: Non Intel registrants should arrive by 2:30 PM to get badges to have access to the workshop.)

IEEE WIE AG Schenectady is going to organize WIE Distinguished Lecture (virtual webinar) on "Human System Engineering Initiatives: From Human Views to Human Readiness Levels" on 5 June 2026, Friday, 12-1 pm EDT. The speaker is Holly A. H. Handley, PhD, PE, the Interim Dean of the Interdisciplinary Schools and a Professor in the Engineering Management and System Engineering Department of Old Dominion University (ODU).

This talk discusses the role of Human System Engineering within the System Engineering discipline. It describes two initiatives that are enabling better integration of humans and systems. The Human Views comprise a system architecture viewpoint that provides a perspective on the human roles, activities, and information flows required by a complex system. The Human Readiness Levels assess the degree to which human-focused requirements are incorporated into design decisions and the readiness of a system to interact with its human operator. Together these two efforts encourage System Engineering for the total system by supporting a comprehensive integration of the human component into the systems engineering effort, which is critical to the design, development, and operation of successful systems. Current standards and applications of both initiatives will be included.
