Integrative design process education
The June 14, 2012, class is designed to teach architects and engineers how the integrative design process, which isn't often used, can be advantageous in designing buildings.
ComEd and Nicor Gas, together with The Energy Center University, are sponsoring an all-day class on integrative design process for buildings and how it can benefit engineers and architects and designers. The class is scheduled for June 14, 2012, and will be held in Chicago (exact location TBD). The instructors for the class are Sachin Anand, P.E., LEED AP and Helen Kessler, FAIA, LEED AP.
The course will explain the integrative design process using specific examples and will use workshops and simulations to engage the class in a more direct way. Check-in begins at 8 A.M. on June 14 and a continental breakfast will be provided. The seminar begins at 8:30 and will run until 4:30 P.M. with periodic breaks and a lunch included.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
