Sensit was the brainchild of John & Nancy Kleppe. Running their own business was their dream, and in March 1980, this vision became reality. For the first few years, the company's only product was the GAS•TRAC®. This revolutionary product was the result of a joint development project between a major gas utility and the Illinois Institute of Technology. The Company has now expanded to over 100 employees and its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, combined with its knowledgeable and dedicated staff provides workers all over the world with the best products and technology to protect them from hazardous gases. Their product range includes combustible gas indicators, confined space monitors, vehicle-mounted methane detectors, air quality monitors, and underground pipe locators, providing reliable and high-quality instruments that customers can depend on.

Happy Engineers Week All! Join us for a panel discussion about Engineering Culture and how Engineers think about themselves. We will start with a brief presentation and discussion to set the scene. Then we will invite you to break out into smaller discussion groups to address specific questions. The breakout groups will join together again to present their findings. That will be followed by a summary discussion and an open question and answer session. This session is the first of a series of discussions that we plan to hold on this topic. The panelists for this session are: - Rob Sleezer - Kendal Diveley - Jahnavi Dirisina - Ahmed Naumaan Attached you will find a document with a set of links to articles about Engineering culture. You may find it interesting to scan a few. If you have questions that you would like to have addressed at the discussion, please email them to (mailto:[email protected]) Thanks. Ahmed Naumaan TC Section, Chair I asked a couple of AI engines to create representations of engineers and engineering culture. They came up with the images below. Do you think these representations are credible? What do you think engineers and engineering culture look like. Generate some images yourself and bring them to the panel discussion to share or email me a copy and I can show them for you when we meet.
