As you are likely already aware, there is much movement now from EPA about PFAS in water, wastewater, landfills, biosolids and industry.  EPA has recently updated its Lifetime Health Advisory limit for PFAS, has begun initiation of Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 5 (UCMR5) with a focus on measuring PFAS in drinking water, and is laying the foundation for future regulation of PFAS in wastewater treatment through the NPDES program.  The new proposed PFAS drinking water MCLs are expected to finalize late 2023. Most water utilities will be complying with state and federal water quality regulations, but “the public is not going to be satisfied with these answers because a health advisory isn’t a binding regulation.” It is only a matter of time before we will have to comply with new PFAS regulatory requirements regarding this potential contaminant.  

Learning Outcomes:

1. What to expect from the EPA roadmap and timelines for upcoming legislation for wastewater and biosolids management
2. Solutions to the challenges of selecting a PFAS treatment system, permitting process, constructability, and operation including current PFAS waste disposal alternatives
3. Options for PFAS destruction technologies and associated costs

I'll be helping the audience understand what to consider, from the utility perspective, when electrifying a fleet. I can help the audience understand what information the utility can offer and good questions to ask when starting the electrification journey. The attendees should take away a good list of questions to ask their utility, possible information and help a utility can offer and how to be prepared to engage with the utility when they are ready to move to electric vehicles. After the presentation the audience will be well versed in the utility's perspective on electric vehicles and the important role the utility has when business want to electrify their fleet. I will also discuss why it is important to bring the utility into the planning process as early as possible.  

Learning Outcomes:

1. Why talk to the utility early
2. What questions to ask the utility to be most prepared
3. What information to be prepared to provide to the utility
4. What information can the utility provide to a business when thinking about electrifying
5. Utility things to consider when electrifying (cost, billing, charging off peak, interconnection agreements, energy efficiency, etc)

This presentation intends to help both PEs and non-PEs best understand what it means for a PE to sign and stamp their work.

Each state will have specific requirements for placement of PE stamp, information to include with a PE Signature and other expected formats. This presentation seeks to inform an audience not currently involved in the PE Signature and Stamp process on the general nature of the process, from what to expect when signing, what the PE Signature and Stamp demonstrates when complete, and what to consider when assuming the role of PE over a previous PE’s work.

This presentation also seeks to guide engineering-related technical personnel (such as those that support "exempt” industry) from “ground-floor” (no process) to a successful PE Sign/Stamp process.

The presentation will highlight key topics from the resource "What a PE Says with their Signature and Stamp: A Resource for Professional Engineers”, recently published by NSPE to the general public. 

Learning Outcomes:

Understand wholly the general nature of the process, from what to expect when signing, what the PE Signature and Stamp demonstrates when complete, and what to consider when assuming the role of PE over a previous PE’s work.

Better convey the importance of a PE Signature and Stamp to other audiences.

Software has eaten the world. The rapid change in technological advancement is outpacing how to manage and/or protect public health, safety, and welfare from new emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and robotics underpinned by open-source software as the foundation. Many engineered systems today are enhanced and modified digitally while being integrated into physical systems in our world. Digital modernization includes terms such as Software Factory, Software Supply Chain, DevSecOps, Cybersecurity, Software Bill of Material, and Open-Source Software. Digital systems and tools are impacting our end products, design, and implementation processes. Many questions remain unanswered regarding ethics, liability, and responsibility. Software warrants how engineers should be accountable to protect the public’s security and welfare. Software is being embedded into our defense, infrastructure, and control systems. The public looks to this profession to prevent digital accidents and fatalities, which have already occurred with improper fundamentals outside of the Professional Engineers' purview and oversight. Critical aspects of these systems require prevention, isolation, and remediation of errors, mistakes, attacks, and breaches. We must not ignore that the world will continue to automate, integrate, and innovate using software. This presentation is critical for standards      and certification. It provides guidelines to measure the safety readiness of software technologies under consideration for deployment. It is intended for public policy decision-makers, regulators, engineers, developers, legal, operations, security leaders, and others. We strongly encourage the understanding, process, and platforms that are changing and your role in the transformation to a digital world.  

Learning Outcomes:

Learning outcomes will discuss:
1. the risk and events that are threatening the safe, secure integration and deployment of systems in today’s digital world,
2. demonstrate the skills people should consider as the minimum standard of care,
3. the technology to support ongoing efforts, and 
4. the need for certification as our professional obligation.
