FPE initiates its Sponsored Intern Program

FPE’s new Sponsored Intern Program supports its mission and promotion of educational and scientific activities. Our pilot Sponsored Intern Program is with Pacific Science and Engineering (PS&E, http://www.pacific-science.com). PS&E is an industrial partner interested in sponsoring interns who will pursue careers as ergonomics practitioners.  The FPE and PS&E are committed to work together to afford the intern many experiences in various components of the Ergonomics Formation Model throughout the internship.

The goal of FPE is to expand the Sponsored Intern Program to other companies and institutions.  Interested partners and potential interns can contact Robert Smillie, Ph.D., at robert.smillie@navy.mil.  Robert is a Past President of BCPE.

December 2-5, 2008
Las Vegas, Nevada

In 2007, FPE and NECE successfully developed, negotiated, and signed a formal three-year endorsement for an important event of the year for ergonomics professionals looking to improve productivity, reduce workplace injuries, deal with an aging workforce, and grow the bottom line. 

The NECE conference, http://www.ergoexpo.com/NECE/, provides outstanding opportunities to present quality ergonomics education and advance the ergonomics discipline and profession.  The conference covers a variety of workplaces: manufacturing, offices, warehousing facilities, call centers, healthcare and lab environments, assembly, construction, 24/7 operations, uncontrolled and virtual workplaces - and much more!
