Providing examples, McGinnis said that he will demonstrate what\ncan be\u003Cstrong\u003E \u003C\/strong\u003Eaccomplished when \u201cwe first\nfocus our modeling work on describing the thing we are engineering, in its own\nterms, and then use that model as a platform for accessing the wide variety of\nanalysis and synthesis tools already at our disposal.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EFor the second lecture, McGinnis will sketch a\nhistory of IE, provide an assessment of where we are today, and make conjectures\nabout the future of the profession.\u0026nbsp; While IE is a rapidly growing\nprofession in the developing world, McGinnis says that there are troubling\nsigns of professional decline here in the U.S.\u0026nbsp; Running through his talk\nis an attempt to answer the question: \u201cWhat is it that we, as IEs, really do?\u201d McGinnis\nsays that \u201ca successful and sustainable profession must have a clear and shared\nanswer to that question.\u201d\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; He will\nsuggest an answer and identify some challenges the answer implies.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;This lecture series is endowed in the name of the\nlate Spencer C. Schantz, who graduated from Lehigh in 1955 with a B.S. in\nIndustrial Engineering. Following progressive responsibilities with several\nelectrical manufacturing companies, in 1969, Schantz founded U.S. Controls\nCorporation and became its first CEO and president. The Spencer C.
