Course Summary: It’s back by popular demand!
The APEGS Professional Development Committee is pleased to offer Get to the Point! A Technical Writing Course for Business and Technical Professionals.
Don’t waste your audience’s time: Be clear, concise, complete and confident in your communications.
Most technical professionals avoided writing classes but now find that to succeed, they must be able to put their ideas and information in writing. Emails, reports, proposals, recommendations, and business cases are still the most effective way we deliver information. How you communicate is what will differentiate you and your organization from your competition.
Presented by RGI International, this interactive two-day, in-person classroom session introduces participants to the Pyramid Method of WritingTM and applies it to several writing situations. Participants will receive personal feedback on one pre-course assignment and two post-course assignments. Group exercises allow participants to learn from each other.
*Only 20 spaces are available for this two-day course. Lunch, refreshments and all course material will be provided.
Don’t miss out. Register Today!

Business Data Analytics for Engineers, Geoscientists, and Managers - SOLD OUT
2024-03-01 08:30 - 16:00 | Double Tree by Hilton Hotel and Conference Centre Regina, 1975 Broad Street, Regina, Saskatchewan, S4P 1Y2, Canada
Event Format: In-person Event
Location: DoubleTree Hotel – 1975 Broad Street, Regina, SK
Hosting Organization: APEGS
Course Summary: The APEGS Professional Development Committee is pleased to offer Business Data Analytics for Engineers, Geoscientists, and Managers.
As the ability to take advantage of the available data in the organizations is turning to a competitive advantage, engineers, geoscientists, and managers who can work with raw data, uncover hidden patterns and insight, and effectively communicate the complex information with the key stakeholders are set up for success.
With the increasing interest in adopting data analytics in various industries, organizations are moving to acquire analytics competency toward enhanced decision making, leading to improved performance.
As employees in organizations have a deep understanding of the business, learning about data analytics enables them to take advantage of the data within their organizations to capture insight (turn raw data into information) and communicate the information with their teams, clients, and senior management. Data analytics tools and techniques such as database analytics (e.g., using database functions to extract records) and data visualization (e.g., developing dashboards for communicating data and information) can help to better understand the situation and the existing problems, which provides insight for management to make better decisions. For example, one of the benefits of data analytics is operation optimization, which can be achieved by better forecasting, reducing downtime, improving capacity utilization, streamlining production processes, and improving productivity/efficiency, resulting in increased profit.
*Attendees will be required to bring a laptop. Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Teams will be used by the attendees during the course.
**Only 20 spaces are available for this one-day course. Don’t miss out. Register Today!

Hosting Organization: Saskatoon Geotechnical Group
Event Summary: Thurber has been participating in Alberta Transportation’s Geohazard Risk Management Program for many years. This presentation describes three sites along Highway 40, located north of Grande Cache, Alberta, where remedial measures were carried out to stabilize sections of the highway that were being affected by landslide movements. The three sites were chosen to demonstrate a variety of techniques that were implemented ranging from slope flattening/offloading, to dewatering, excavation and replacement with stronger backfill, shear keys, toe berms and pile walls. The site conditions, constraints, investigation, design, and construction are touched on for each site. The goal of the presentation is to provide a tool kit of techniques for various remedial projects.
About the Presenter: Don Proudfoot is a Senior Geotechnical Engineer and Partner of Thurber Engineering Ltd. He completed his civil technologist diploma at NAIT and then joined Thurber in 1980, taking breaks to complete a B.Eng. in Civil Engineering at Lakehead University and then an M.Eng. degree in geotechnical engineering at the University of Alberta. He spent a four-year stint helping open Thurber’s office in Toronto but has otherwise worked out of the Edmonton office. Don is married with three children and loves anything to do with the outdoors. Don spends a lot of time assessing, investigating, and remediating landslides that are affecting Alberta’s highways, which is what this presentation will be focused on.

Understanding and Controlling Corrosion - SOLD OUT
2024-01-10 12:00 - 13:00 | Online
Event Format: Webinar – Microsoft Teams
Hosting Organization: APEGS – A Member-Led Webinar Series Presentation
Event Summary: Rust sometimes seems unstoppable. Transmission towers, bridges, pipelines, tanks, water lines, sewer lines: they all corrode.

The role of coatings will be discussed, as well as electrochemical corrosion control techniques: cathodic protection and anodic protection. Examples of corrosion challenges and solutions will be drawn from and applied to various industries including transportation (bridges, parking garages), mining (wells, tanks, infrastructure), communication (cell towers, grounding), municipal (water, wastewater) and energy (transmission towers, pipelines).
Presenters:
Daniel Fingas, P.Eng. is the Technical Engineering Manager at Corrosion Service Company Limited. He graduated from the University of Toronto with a bachelor’s in Engineering Science and master’s in Electrical Engineering. Daniel entered the corrosion industry in 2010 and has broad exposure to the onshore cathodic protection industry including for pipelines, storage tanks, well casings, and parking garages. He also has extensive experience with data interpretation for over-the-line surveys, coupons and pipeline integrity assessment. He is a NACE certified Cathodic Protection Specialist and a Professional Engineer.
