Colleagues:

For quite some time we've wanted to start an Engineering Seminar series 
to share common experiences and designs across the Lab's engineering 
community.  When working with Sally Fisk to initiate this program, we 
discovered that perhaps our aspirations were not quite lofty enough.  In 
view of all the new staff, the many interesting engineering problems 
that we solve each day, and the need to pass on our experiences so that 
we don't reinvent solutions to common problems  we have elevated the 
seminar series to a "Professional Development Program".  This program 
with its first series devoted to cryogenics is outlined on the attached 
program poster.  We intend to launch this development program after the 
first of the year and will invite representatives from local industry 
and graduate students enrolled in nearby universities to participate. 
  During the 6 month downtime we will reflect on what we learned in this 
first series and if we have been successful up to that point, expand the 
program.  We hope to tackle a wide range of engineering subject areas 
within the lab and also bring in experts from other science and 
engineering organizations so that we become more knowledgeable about the 
challenges and achievements of the larger engineering profession.

Take a careful look at the attached program. Discuss your interest in 
attending the cryogenics series with your supervisor and then sign up on 
the website referenced at the bottom of the poster.  The middle six 
sessions are taught as a class that builds on information from the 
preceding session.  To realize the most benefit, you should plan on 
attending each session in the series.  While skipping one may not be 
"fatal", I know from personal experience that you will be challenged to 
keep up with Rao if you fall behind.  This series is an important step 
in our effort to share knowledge throughout the lab's engineering staff 
and develop our collective understanding of how engineering advances the 
lab's overall mission.

For those who maintain their PE status, this course will be worth 8 CEUs 
towards your continuing education obligation for that license.

Please make every effort to take full advantage of this offering.

Will
