Topic: Strategies for Job Interviewing with People of Different Generations
Speaker: Mr. Lee Winters
Date/Time: Saturday, 11/20/2010, 3:00-4:00PM
Location: Room 308, NPU South Building, 47655 Warm Springs Blvd, Fremont, CA 94539
Abstract:
When students complete their coursework for a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, they will go out and seek employment. That process includes being interviewed by people of different ages and generations. You may be interviewed by someone 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, or 70-years old. Recent graduates are usually members of Generation Y, but their interviewers may be in any generation (Baby Boomers, Generation X or Y). How can you feel prepared and comfortable interviewing with people of other generations? Each generation has its own standards and values and these are reflected in the types of questions they will be asking in the interview process and the types of answers they are looking for. This presentation will give a biographical perspective on all of the current generations in the workforce that you may encounter during the interview process and offer strategies to successfully interview with each. An additional benefit is that you will also be working with people of other generations, so it is good to get a perspective on who they are.
Introduction to the speaker:
M.H.A., Master of Health Administration, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
B.A., Government, Chapman University, Orange, CA
Mr. Lee Winters worked for a decade as a hospital executive including serving as Assistant to the Director of Health and Hospitals, Stanislaus County, Modesto, CA; Assistant CEO, Memorial Hospitals of Stanislaus County, Modesto, CA; CEO, San Mateo County Hospital, San Mateo, CA; Assistant Director Medical Records and Medical Information Systems, Stanford University Medical Center. He worked with the Carter Administration to develop the 1980 National Cancer Act. He has worked for two years as a Health Care Consultant for National Medical Enterprises, Beverly Hills, CA and as a bilingual (Spanish) Senior Human Resource Consultant for Right Management (subsidiary of Manpower, a Fortune 100 company) for four years. Mr. Winters is currently serving as Senior Vice President for Clinical Affairs for a startup biotech company in Fremont doing clinical research at Stanford University Medical Center in using pure Type-1 collagen as a vehicle for gene therapy delivery with Epidermolysis Bullosa patients. He teaches medical courses to doctors and is working with one of the academic deans at UC Davis to set up a medical clinic in Chocoa, a medically underserved area of Columbia, South America.

Topic: The Research and Incubation Programs at Northwestern Polytechnic University
Speaker: Hugh Ching, SB, SM, Sc.D., MIT; NPU Research Program Advisor
Date/Time: Saturday, 11/13/2010, 3:00-4:00PM
Location: Room 308, NPU South Building, 47655 Warm Springs Blvd, Fremont, CA 94539
Abstract:
This seminar will outline NPU’s Research/Incubation Center program. The program will “allow students and faculty members to reach their maximum potential in creativity and in business skills.” The goal of the research program is “to achieve complete automation with completely automated software (DNA) and hardware (Robot).”
Complete automation is achieved by having all work done by Self-manufactured General Purpose Robots with the ability of touch. The robot is programmed by the completely automated software. The value of the robot or the decision of what kind of robot to construct is determined by the Infinite Spreadsheet.
“The Infinite Spreadsheet has been designed to make rational decisions which must take into consideration all future consequences to infinity in time.” The Infinite Spreadsheet provides the backbone for Green Technology and corresponds to permanent sustainability. “Permanent entities created through complete automation are infinitely more valuable than temporary entities.” The Infinite Spreadsheet can foster the following fields of incubation:
[Stock Valuation] [Real Estate Valuation] [Business Valuation] [Intellectual Property Valuation] [IPO Valuation] [Research Project Valuation] [Environmental Valuation] [Software Valuation]
According to the spirit of the Infinite Spreadsheet, problems must be solved in its entirety. The trouble with science is that science only provides partial solutions, which are without value judgment and without concern for permanent existence, which is achieved through complete automation.
Introduction to the speaker:
B.S. (Electrical Engineering) Massachusetts Institute of Technology E-M Field Theory
M.S. (Nuclear Engineering) Massachusetts Institute of Technology Controlled Fusion
Sc.D. (Nuclear Engineering) Massachusetts Institute of Technology Plasma Kinetic Theory
Post-Doctoral Research Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences Plasma, Economics
Hugh Ching is the founder of Post-Science, Knowledge beyond Science (http://www.postscience.com) and a California licensed real estate broker since the 1980s. He was formally trained as a mathematical scientist at MIT (SB, SM, ScD) and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He holds the patent “Quantitative Supply and Demand Model Based on Infinite Spreadsheet” Patent No. 6,078,901. He is, thus, well trained in both the theory and the practice of business. The mathematically rigorous solution of value strongly suggests the existence of non-violable laws of nature in social science, as the existence of non-violable laws of nature in science, such as gravitation.

Topic: Kepler Mission: The Search for Earth-Size Planets
Speaker: Mr. Raj Shea
Date/Time: Saturday, 11/6/2010, 3:00-4:00PM
Location: Room 308, NPU South Building, 47655 Warm Springs Blvd, Fremont, CA 94539
Abstract:
Kepler Mission seeks to answer if Earth is unique or how many Earth-size planets exist? By using the Transit method for detecting planets, some of these questions can be answered. Launched March 6, 2009, Kepler is searching for planets the size of Earth that orbit in the habitable zone of other stars. The habitable zone is the distance from a star where liquid water can exist on the surface of the planet.
