You'll even get to see the first automatic, graphic and real time 1 Line Diagram. Then, we'll turn to the NEC for a discussion of how it is organized...the concepts behind the *PowerCalc* software. This includes a discussion of the NEC's dual purposes of safety and cost/resource effective design. For engineers who design facilities, we promise a compelling discussion. Hope to meet our colleagues, and will work on a video to share with those who cannot attend. The Florida Engineering Society has put together an incredible program. - **7:30 AM: ** - Registration                 - **8:00 AM:** - What’s in Your Contract- Managing Risk through Contract Language - Construction Phase Services: Pitfalls, Perils and Payments (2 PDHs) - Presented by Mark E.
