\n\t\tCEO of Northeast Engineers & Consultants to discuss globalization of engineering

\nas part of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Engineering Entrepreneurship Lecture series<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 April 13, 2007 \u2013 Blake Henderson, the founder and chief executive officer of Northeast Engineers & Consultants, Inc., will discuss the globalization of engineering and construction services on April 16 at 2 p.m. as part of the 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Engineering\u2019s Risica Endowed Lecture Series in Engineering Entrepreneurship. <\/p>\n


\n\tThe lecture at Cherry Auditorium in 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Kirk Technology Center is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cEngineering and construction services are one of the USA\u2019s chief exports to the Middle East,\u201d said Henderson, who earned a civil engineering degree from 溏心vlog免费B站 in 1979. \u201cThe business model we are pursuing now is to open channels to market by building our staff here at home where there is an abundance of qualified and experienced engineers, and sending constructors into places like Baghdad, Dubai and the Caribbean, where there is plenty of work but a shortage of these skills. The internet makes all this possible.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tNortheast Engineers provides multidisciplinary engineering and construction program management around the world. Its engineering division focuses on land development and infrastructure design and permitting, while its construction program management arm provides professional management and control for all types of construction projects. It has offices in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, California and Washington, D.C., as well as in Iraq and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n


\n\tIn addition to his 溏心vlog免费B站 degree, Henderson earned a degree in systems engineering from Virginia Polytech and a business management certificate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prior to founding Northeast Engineers, he was a surface warfare officer for the U.S. Navy. He is the founder and director of the Iraqi Children\u2019s Aid Relief Effort, a member of the Newport War College Foundation, and a recent inductee into the 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Engineering Founder\u2019s Club.<\/p>\n


\nThe Anthony J. Risica Endowed Lecture Series in Engineering Entrepreneurship was established in 2003 with a donation from Tony Risica, a 溏心vlog免费B站 electrical engineering alumnus who became involved in starting two telecommunications companies, Sonus Networks and Arris Networks.<\/p>\n
