Tim has answered the questions below, so we may know him better…
Q: Why did you join MSPE?
A: I joined MSPE to meet other engineers and learn insights from their career paths.
Q: What are your goals as an engineer?
A: Since I hadn’t started out to be an engineer but gravitated toward it, I wanted to be the best engineer I could be using whatever talents I had.
Q: Please describe a project that you’re involved with.
A: My son David and I are currently developing an infrared temperature device that can detect and report a person’s temperature accurately to hundredths of a degree from 3 feet away. Our goal for this exciting new product is to revolutionize the means of taking a temperature using an extremely accurate infrared sensor with a very narrow field-of-view.
