Event Recap: SWE-MN PD Event at Emerson Process Management
The April SWE-MN Professional Development Event was held at Emerson Process Management in Chanhassen. The event started with dinner and an ice breaker, which gave everyone a chance to talk and get to know each other. After dinner Bob Karschnia, VP of Wireless Technology, spoke about how Emerson used creativity during a time when technology was changing their customer base to develop a technology that would continue to be useful in the future. The insight into how Emerson applied new technologies in a different way was something that all attendees could apply to their own careers. Thank you to Emerson Process for sponsoring the event and supporting SWE-MN Professional Development programs throughout FY09.
