ASME members Monica Moman-Saunders, Howard Berkof, Jen Jewers and Kalan Guiley smile for the camera after getting a tour of the Capitol Building after the 5th Annual Engineering R&D Symposium on May 7, 2007. Members from 20 engineering organizations assembled at the Rayburn House Building to learn about current and future federal funding for research and developmemnt, and its impact on engineering research. The evening before the Symposium, engineers gathered at the National Academy of Engineering to celebrate achievers across the engineering field. For more information on the Symposium, see http://www.engineeringpolicy.org/RD_Symposium.cfm.
And in proof that you never know when or where you'll meet up with a fellow early career engineer, Howard, Kalan and I met up with Justin Young for dinner after the R&D Symposium. Justin was in D.C. for an ASME water conference the next day, and we all managed to get together to catch up.
