Congratulations to Rebekah Gaudreau for receiving the NH Young Engineer of the Year award this year! As many of you know, I have had the privilege of working side by side with Becky over the years at Parsons Brinckerhoff. Not only is she an extremely gifted structural engineer, but she is a passionate leader and excellent teacher. She is constantly striving to increase her engineering knowledge and expertise as well as support those around her. Becky has such a pas- sion for teaching that she took a “timeout” from practicing engineering, to serve as a lecturer at UNH for several years. College is an essential part of an engineer’s development. Not only do engineers have to get a degree to begin practic- ing, but they need to learn essential theories and fundamen- tals in building their knowledge base so they can be success- ful. It is the professor’s job is to aid the students in acquiring those skills. Most stu- dents come into the classroom with very little background knowledge of what it takes to be an engineer. They may have higher level math and science skills, but they have no idea how to apply those skills in solving difficult engineering problems. Professors lay out the design process and the many iterations that often occur before a solution is found. They stress the importance of laying out work that is neat and easy to follow for someone to check. Students are required to think about the result of the answer and ensure that it makes sense. It is easy to see how professors shape students into budding engineers, however we as professionals also have an incredible ability to influence these students. It may take one conversation at an SENH meeting, a presentation at a conference, or volunteering on campus with a Senior Design Group. We have a great opportunity at our next meeting at UNH to build relationships and help these prospective engineers. We have had a great turnout the last couple of years. I would like to challenge everyone to get to know at least two students over the course of the evening. Just think back to your days as a student, and how much that would have meant to have a professional take the time to invest in you, if even for a couple of minutes. Linda McNair-Perry has done a wonderful job over the years serving as the liaison for UNH and getting to know many of the students, but she is only one person. Let’s all jump in and support this effort! Also, don’t forget to submit projects for our first annual SENH project awards. Details following in this newsletter.

Congratulations to Rebekah Gaudreau for receiving the NH Young Engineer of the Year award this year! As many of you know, I have had the privilege of working side by side with Becky over the years at Parsons Brinckerhoff. Not only is she an extremely gifted structural engineer, but she is a passionate leader and excellent teacher. She is constantly striving to increase her engineering knowledge and expertise as well as support those around her. Becky has such a pas-sion for teaching that she took a “timeout” from practicing engineering, to serve as a lecturer at UNH for several years. College is an essential part of an engineer’s development. Not only do engineers have to get a degree to begin practic-ing, but they need to learn essential theories and fundamen-tals in building their knowledge base so they can be success-

ful. It is the professor’s job is to aid the students in acquiring those skills. Most stu-dents come into the classroom with very little background knowledge of what it takes to be an engineer. They may have higher level math and science skills, but they have no idea how to apply those skills in solving difficult engineering problems. Professors lay out the design process and the many iterations that often occur before a solution is found.

****NEW**** STATE BUILDING PERMIT SYSTEM ****NEW**** The information below is taken directly from the NH DOS Bureau of Building Safety & Construction website for the Engineering & Plan Review Section

The Bureau of Building Safety and Construction administers the State Building Permit System as au-thorized by law through RSA 155-A and administered by Saf-C 8100 Rules. The permit system applies to construction involving all state owned properties, the university system properties, community college system properties and by written request and acceptance from those municipalities that have not adopted an enforcement mechanism pursuant to RSA 674:51. Permits are required for new and renovation construction based on the provisions of the current NH State Building Code and applicable amendments. The following permits are issued through this program: 1. Building Permit 2. Mechanical Permit (fuel gas): For all work subject to state licensing requirements as identified in RSA 153:27 3. Mechanical Permit (non-fuel gas): Work not subject to state licensing requirements including ductwork 4. Electrical Permit 5. Plumbing Permits 6. Fire Protection Permits: Includes fire suppression systems, fire alarms, kitchen ex-haust systems

Check out the Engineering & Plan Review Section website for more information on the Permit System & In-spection Process and Fee Schedules. The links for the formal language in the Saf-C 8100 relative to the new state building permit system and the Permit Application can be found on that website as well.

SENH COMMITTEE UPDATES

Legislative Liaison

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE RELATIVE TO THE STATE BUILDING CODE

The LSRs mentioned in the October 2016 newsletter are now bills in the House and each has had at least one public hearing shortly after the session started. HB80 brings the state’s RSA’s relative to energy conservation in building con-struction into alignment with the state building code RSA’s.

The one many of us have been anticipating is HB92 which would update the state building code to the 2015 i-codes.

This is the same language from the bill that failed to pass in 2016. You can follow the links to get more information on

the text, status, sponsors, etc.

I am told you can start contacting the House Executive Departments and Administration (ED&A) Committee to show your support for these bills. The i- code updates are heavily reliant on the energy code bill getting passed, so you might mention them both.

Send written correspondence to:

Representative Carol McGuire, Chair Executive Departments and Administration Committee NH State Legislative Office Building LOB #306 33 N State St, Concord, NH 03301

The ED&A committee website has member emails, phone numbers and mailing addresses listed. If you recognize one of your own legislators on the list of members, please also consider contracting them directly. If you are not sure who your Representatives are, here is a helpful link.

Professional Development Committee The Fracture Critical Inspection Techniques for Steel Training is scheduled from March 21-24, 2017 at NHDOT. There

are still a few slots left see the attached notice for more details and how to register.

SENH COMMITTEE UPDATES Continued From Page 4

Younger Members Group

The Younger Member Group (YMG) is excited to announce that this coming fall, it will be helping those interested in sitting for the SE Exam. Through a grant awarded by NCSEA, we have the opportunity to fund a portion of the cost asso-ciated with the exam review course. Anyone considering sitting for the exam in the fall and interested in the review course should please email [email protected]. Before the upcoming SENH March meeting at UNH, the YMG will be hosting a resume boot-camp for current students. Our aim is to help students prepare for the transition into professional practice by reviewing resumes and answering any questions they might have. The location and time will be determined and sent out prior to the March meeting. We are looking ahead for opportunities to help with the community! This coming spring the YMG will be participating in Habitat for Humanity and is looking for interest from you! Whether you’re a younger member of SENH, or a more ven-erable member, please join us for a day of giving back to the community. Tentative dates for volunteering are set for the end of the month in April, or beginning of May. Anyone interested should please send an email to [email protected].
