9th ANNUAL ENGINEERS' DAY 2011

2011-08-01T09:33:00.001+03:00

The Engineers Registration Board (ERB) is pleased to inform the engineering community and the general public that the 9^thAnnual Engineers Day (AED 2011) will be held on Thursday and Friday, September 5 to 7, 2011. The AED 2011 will take place at Mlimani City Conference Centre, Dar es Salaam.

The Major activities of AED 2011 shall include:

Discussions on 50 years of Independence; the Impact, Challenges and Future prospects of Engineering;
Exhibitions;
Awarding distinguished engineers and best graduating engineering students from local engineering institutions.

The theme of discussion will be: “From 2 to 10,000+ Engineers over 50 years of Independence: The Impact, Challenges and Future Prospects.”

Various distinguished engineers have been invited to present papers – taking into account that during independence in 1961 the country had only 2 engineers but while celebrating 50th independence anniversary Tanzania has over 10,000 engineers now.

The focus of discussion will be on the following Sectors of Engineering:

Construction;
Manufacturing;
Energy;
Transport
Agricultural;
Communication Technologies and
Mining.

This is therefore to invite all engineers and the general public to participate to this event. Since the sub-themes cut across all engineering fields, the Board wishes to enlist participation of most engineers in this year’s AED.

All professional engineers who will attend this event will have an added advantage of scoring 16 Professional Development Units (PDUs) in their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme.

Confirmation of participation is through payment of a registration fee of Tshs. 200,000/= per participant. The deadline for confirmation is August 30, 2011. Those who register after this date will pay Tshs. 220,000/= per participant.

The exhibitions will be staged alongside the 9^th AED 2011 and will include both technical/engineering and commercial exhibitions as well as engineering services.

The AED is certainly a rare opportunity for engineers from all fields of engineering practice to interact and share their engineering experiences. Hence, the Board wishes to invite engineering organisations and Firms, institutions and traders/vendors to make use of this opportunity to exhibit their engineering services and products. The potential benefits to the exhibitors include:

Opportunity to publicise and market their products/services to a wide engineering community;
Sharing experience with professionals and authorities;
Better understanding of the needs and requirements of the market; and
Establishment of business contacts and creation of awareness of available engineering support services

Registration forms can be obtained from ERB offices or downloaded from the website www.erb.go.tz

Married to an Engineer: The Positive and The Negative

2010-09-01T08:06:00.000+03:00

Positive: Able to fix most things around the house.

Negative: When he finds the time to do it, it will take a month, $1,000, and 6 trips to Home Depot to change a lightbulb.

The best way to get him to do stuff around the house is to threaten to do it yourself or worse, hire someone to do it.

Positive: Has an occupation that is in high demand, with a stable employment base. Great salary and benefits.

Negative: Works a lot; not home much.

Positive: Not home much.

Positive: Not preoccupied with superficial things like appearance, grooming, etc. This is a lot easier to change than basic personality traits like honesty and work ethic, which most engineers have in abundance.

Negative: Needs some minor alterations. However, replace the gimmie shirts, get a decent haircut and product, and lose 10-15 lbs. of fat, and they usually clean up just fine. Don't forget to moisturize. They are happy to have you take care of this.
