EDA Challenges NJ to Rethink Old Ways, Become
Innovative
Again
New Jersey has always been a cradle of American innovation. From Thomas Edison and Robert Wood Johnson to Albert Einstein and Shirley Ann Jackson, the Garden State has been a source of big thinking and new ideas that changed the world. However, over the last several decades, the stakes have been raised: More states are vying for the mantle of innovation leader than ever before. To compete and win in the 21st century economy, we need to rekindle our commitment to innovation and recapture the invention-based growth that created a path to the middle class for millions of New Jersey residents.

Welby, head of IEEE, feels engineering and tech can help solve all of planet's problems
Stephen Welby, the new executive director at the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in Piscataway,
recently chatted with ROI-NJ on what he will discuss that night - and about the ways he's helped advance technology and help the country.
The IEEE is a group that bills itself as the world's largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology. Welby previously worked in President Barack Obama's administration for eight years as an assistant secretary of defense (essentially serving as the top engineer on projects most people can't dream of) and worked with Silicon Valley startups.

Report Calls for Regional Clean Transportation Plan
Engineering News Record
Creating more walkable and bike-friendly streets, expanding electric vehicle fleets and reducing congestion and increasing access to public transportation in cities, suburbs and rural and low-income communities across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions are among the strategies outlined in a new report calling for a regional clean transportation plan. Unveiled on July 19, the Natural Resources Defense Council's report entitled Transportation Reimagined, says the nation's current transportation system cost the economy $147 billion in 2015 alone.

Path to zero emissions starts out easy, but gets steep
Science Daily
In addition to heating, cooling, lighting, and powering individual vehicles -- subjects that are often the focus of the emissions discussion -- there are other major contributors to atmospheric carbon that are much more challenging to address. These tough nuts to crack include air travel; long-distance freight by truck, train, or ship; and the manufacture of steel and cement.
"We wanted to look closely at the barriers and opportunities related to the most difficult-to-decarbonize services," said lead author Davis.

Congress Takes First Step in Occupational Licensing Reform
nspe.org
With Congress looking at steps to tackle excessive licensing burdens, the House and Senate passed the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (H.R. 2353). Among the amendments adopted was a version of the New Hope Act, legislation that would allow states to use federal education funds to identify and examine licenses or certifications that (1) pose an unwarranted barrier to entry into the workforce and (2) do not protect the health, safety, or welfare of consumers. With this law, states could use this money to form a commission or task force to review existing licensing requirements in their state and identify ones that should be eliminated or curtailed.

What Constitutes Unprofessional Engineering Practice?
State engineering licensing laws require or authorize licensing boards, or other state authorities, to discipline licensed and unlicensed engineers when they take actions that constitute unprofessional behavior or conduct. These actions include negligence, signing or sealing plans not prepared by the licensee, and other violations. The enforcement of these improper practices and severity of the penalties vary by state, and now NSPE members have free access to all the relevant information in one comprehensive resource.

NSPE Urges Delay in Consideration of AV START Act
nspe.org
With only a few working days left on its calendar, the US Senate is considering attaching the pending AV START Act (S. 1885) to other legislation, including the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act (S. 1405). The bill, if enacted, would allow the Department of Transportation to exempt as many as 100,000 autonomous vehicles per manufacturer from federal safety regulations.
