Engineers at Sandia ensure that innovation is not just a theory but that the highest technical and operational standards are put into practice. In honor of National Engineers Week, hosted by the National Society of Professional Engineers from Feb. 22-28, Lab News selected a few photos of engineering happening around the Labs.
This year’s theme, Transform Your Future, is a reminder that engineering shapes the world through new opportunities, local communities and the next generation. This goal is shared by Sandia’s community involvement team and volunteers who aim to inspire the future of engineering through their efforts.
TEST PREP — Mechanical engineer David Krawczyk places multi-contact probes into a cryogenic probe station for environmental printed circuit board tests.WISHFUL WAITING — Telemetry engineers Aaron Czeszynski, left, and Emily Yang anticipate success while preparing a Joint Environmental Test Unit in Telemetry and Visualization Software Realtime at Sandia California. They prepare the unit to ship to Sandia New Mexico, where it will undergo a combined environments test involving simultaneous spin and acceleration.
UNDER INSPECTION — Electronics engineer Rebecca Schmitt, right, and mechanical engineer Simon Yang perform a destructive physical analysis of a capacitor.IN THE BALANCE — Mechanical engineers work with an inert B61-13 during mass properties testing.
Engineering evolution at Sandia event on Tuesday
From drafting tables to digital transformation, engineering at Sandia has evolved drastically over the past 75 years.
On Tuesday, Feb. 24, 1-2 p.m., attend a panel discussion between Sandia engineers about the past, present and future of engineering. You’ll hear from colleagues about how the field has changed over the course of their careers and what excites them about the future.
Staff can find location details and a Teams link on their calendars.
