SUMMARY:Engineering Showdown: A Maryland STEM Fest Event
DESCRIPTION:What do engineers do? It depends on the engineer!\n\nCivil 
 engineering created the 1\,900 year old Roman Pantheon concrete dome that 
 is still in use today and it was also a civil engineer who brought us water 
 slides. Packaging engineers find ingenius ways to make packaging meet a 
 wide range of needs from being tamper-proof to medically sterile to 
 temperature controlled\; they are also responsible for the frustrating 
 plastic clamshell packaging used for batteries and large sales unit cartons 
 that trick consumers into believing the 2 oz. bottle they are purchasing is 
 much larger than expected.\n\nAt this unique forum\, you will meet 
 packaging engineer Denise Stevens and civil engineer Jay Silcox whose 
 combined experience ranges from designing rocket launch pads to creating 
 packaging for human tissue! Bring your questions and prepare to be informed 
 and entertained.\n\nThis event is designed for an adult audience. 
 Interested teens are also welcome to attend.\n\nThis is a Maryland STEM 
 Festival event.\n\n\nPRESENTER BIOS\n\nDenise Stevens has been a packaging 
 engineer for more than 30 years. She has experience in pharmaceutical and 
 medical device companies as well as veterinary products and even human 
 tissue (read skin). She received her Masters’ degree in Packaging Science 
 from Rochester Institute of Technology. Denise has two goals in life: 1) 
 playing with her grandchildren and 2) stimulating quilt shop economies 
 around the world.\n\nJay Silcox is a Professional Engineer who is currently 
 licensed in 11 states and Washington D.C. A Kent County High School 
 graduate with a BS in civil engineering from University of Maryland\, Jay's 
 experience ranges from inspecting crawl spaces to designing rocket launch 
 pads. Jay is an avid sci-fi reader and enjoys running ultramarathons and 
 travel.\n\n
