Chapter : Best Practices

FEI Pittsburgh Chapter Meeting with Ken Miller, CEO, Civil and Environmental Consultants

Join FEI Pittsburgh to host Ken Miller, the Chief Executive Officer of Civil and Environmental Consultants ("CEC").  CEC was founded in 1989 by four engineers and scientists.  Today the firm employs over 1,000 people and operates out of 24 offices in the US.  Headquartered here in Pittsburgh, CEC is consistently ranked among the top firms on Engineering News-Record's annual lists of the Top Design Firms and Top Environmental Firms.  CEC is, unusually in its industry, employee-owned.  

CEC celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.  Join us on October 15th to find out how the firm views its past and the lessons they're applying for its future.

Professional development is presented by Schneider Downs.  Technology Shareholder Patrick Armknecht will deliver an inclusive introduction to Robotics Process Automation, or RPA, a process by which software robots, or "bots," are created to automate tasks and streamline processes using human-centric interfaces.  By implementing this cost-effective and scalable technology, organizations of all sizes are increasing operational efficiency by tackling high-volume tasks critical to business operations with a virtual workforce, rather with increased staffing levels.  
 

Key professional development takeaways:

  • Participants will be able to describe how RPAs are created
  • Participants will be able to identify applicable RPA use cases
  • Participants will be able to determine best practices for RPA implementation.
CPE for this session is under review.
