Engineers' Society of Tulsa, Inc.

In January, EST had a great event with Former TU Football Coach David Rader as he presented Commitment: It's Up to You.  After the event, I asked David if he would write a guest blog for EST so that I could share his message with more people.  He graciously agreed and his blog follows. 

As you may have seen through social media outlets, last month the Engineers’ Society of Tulsa became a gold sponsor of Union’s First Robotics Team, Ubotics - Team 3507.  A major focus area of the society is to support STEM and it fit well within our vision to partner with Ubotics.  

Helping Ubotics monetarily is just the beginning, we now need our members and other engineers and allied professionals to mentor these students in Jan & Feb as they design and build their robot in just six weeks. It is hands off, they just need advice and a little direction.  The following is a guest blog from Ubotics Marketing lead, Joseph Parackal discussing first-hand how impactful the FirstRobotics program is and the need for mentors to help Ubotics reach their goals.

This month I would like to share with you the new vision and mission of EST.  I believe it is vitally important to constantly discuss our vision and to share it with as many people as we can reach.  We are doing great things at EST through our members and volunteers with the following being the foundation for everything we do.  I hope it resonates with you and makes you want to get more involved in advancing Tulsa’s engineering community through EST membership.

In August, EST had one of the most inspirational events that I have attended.  Kelly Riggs presented “Coaching for Leaders: How to Transform Potential into Performance.”  We had tremendously positive responses from the crowd and a few of those are captured here:

There were some really great gems in there that I can apply immediately.

I wish I had heard that thirty years ago.

That was really tangible information, and he speaks with such passion.
