Abstract :
Three technical groups, namely, the electronics, industrial electrical practices and problems, and the personal development of the engineer, have been formed by the AIEE Kansas City Section. The electronics group is headed by C. C. Yates (M ´42) of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. The first meeting already has been held, and the plan is to meet every month for active discussion. The industrial-practices group chairman is N. A. Kieb (M ´43) of Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Corporation. This group also plans to have discussions and to use as a text the recent AIEE publication entitled “Electric Power Distribution for Industrial Plants.” B. J. George (M´43) of the Kansas City Power and Light Company heads the personal development group. Mr. George intends to raise for discussion the questions of ethics, the ability of an engineer to speak for himself, the professional registration of engineers, and other allied matters.
