An IE's World On the Strings
When it comes to nontraditional industrial engineers, Cassandra Sotos plays all the right notes. Answering the call to music several years ago, the rock violinist and industrial engineer from Penn State talks to David Brandt about her personal development as a lifelong learner, the struggle of being pitted between a corporate career and her dreams and the satisfaction she's had since taking the leap. She also explains how the COVID-19 pandemic hasn't slowed her plans down. Listeners will also get to hear Sotos' voice and violin in her latest single, "Annie Oakley."
Engineers in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic
In this bonus episode of "Problem Solved," we play interviews with healthcare engineers from May 2020 who have insight about how health systems are managing and operating through the COVID-19 crisis. We first chat with Amanda Mewborn, vice president of facility planning and development at Navicent Health in Macon, Georgia, about her experience on the frontlines of patient care during the pandemic. We also speak with Ali Hobbs, a healthcare consultant with Catalyst, a Haskell Company and Aaron Kanne, executive director of implementation services at Care Logistics in Atlanta, about the Think Tank sessions sponsored by the Society for Health Systems throughout the spring. Listeners, you can also share your own experiences from within your industry about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Crisis Resource Community on IISE Connect at: https://link.iise.org/crisis-response-connect
