Engineering Role before and after the Space Shuttle Challenger
Disaster
Speaker: Suresh B. Kulkarni, Ph.D
Date: November 6, 2017
Time: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Place: G102, ESB
West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV
Abstract: Dr. Kulkarni will share events of the night before and the day of the 1986 Challenger launch,
most likely not known publicly, as well as the environment that existed in the organization pre-
Challenger and how it changed after the incident. He will discuss the steps which were taken to assure
flight safety and some of the ethical challenges faced by him and his team.
Speaker Bio: Born in Hyderabad, India, he came the USA in 1967 to get a Ph.D in Engineering
Mechanics from the University of Denver. After getting his degree in 1970, he returned to India, but
could not find suitable employment. He returned to the USA and joined Thiokol Corporation (now
Orbital-ATK) in Promontory, Utah in 1972 as an entry level junior engineer. He retired from there in
2003 as the Vice President of Systems Engineering over all of ATK’s strategic and tactical programs.
Appointed as the Vice President of Engineering in 1989 over 550 engineers to oversee the design,
fabrication, testing and launch of the solid rocket motors, which propelled the shuttle into space, he had
the ultimate authority to give the final “GO” for the ignition of the solid rocket boosters at the Kennedy
Space Center in Florida. His efforts helped launch 55 space shuttle flights without a failure over a period
of nine years, from 1989 to 1997.
Among the many astronauts he has worked with during his professional career were John W. Young
who walked on the moon and Robert Crippen, the Mission Commander and Pilot respectively of STS-1
(Orbiter Columbia), the first orbital flight of NASA’s Space Shuttle Program, as well as Dr. Story
Musgrave who repaired the Hubble Telescope twice.
Some notable Shuttle missions that Suresh was involved in include: Magellan Spacecraft to Venus (May
1989); Galileo Spacecraft to Jupiter (October 1989); Hubble Space Telescope (April 1990); and the
Shuttle-Mir (the Russian Space Station) docking (July 1995). In 1999, he served on President Bill
Clinton’s Presidential Commission known as the Space Launch Broad Area Review (BAR) to
investigate commercial flight failures and recommend corrective actions.
Suresh and his wife, Diane, reside in Perry City, Utah and have two married daughters and two
grandchildren. He spends his time doing volunteer work in the local community as well as gardening.
He has received accolades as the “Citizen of the Year” in 2009 from the mayor of Perry City, and
“Trustee of the Year” in 2010 from the Utah Hospital and Health Systems Association.

The History of Cybersecurity
Date: Wednesday, Nov. 29th, 2017
Time: 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM
Place: TBD, around I279 and McKnight Road, see event registration page for details
Organizer: Computer Society
RSVP: at https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/47293. IEEE membership number is required.
Abstract: As recent events have demonstrated, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important in
almost all aspects of modern life, from personal finance to the electric grid to geopolitics. The potential
for negative impacts will continue to increase as businesses, governments and society become more and
more dependent on digital information processing systems. In order to build systems and shape
behavior that can account for these risks, we need to understand the circumstances that contributed to
our current situation.
This talk is a review of significant events in the history of computer and network security and is based
on literature reviews, news articles, interviews and the speaker’s personal and professional experience.
It is presented in timeline format starting with a brief review of pre-computer information security. The
timeline divides itself into four eras that are aligned with advances in general computing technology:
the run-up and aftermath of World War II, mainframes and the adoption of business systems, the public
switched telephone network boom, and the rise of Internet.
IEEE Pittsburgh Section Bulletin November 2017, Volume 66 No. 11 Page 7 of 12
The presentation tries to make the case that there are no new problems, only old problems reinterpreted
for new technologies. It is delivered in a straightforward format conveying the facts as they were
recorded by history, but also includes analysis that highlights the human elements that are sometimes
humorous, somber, amusing or tragic. The goal of this talk is to encourage discussion among the
participants who lived and worked through these times in order to add to the body of work.
Bio: George Warnagiris is a professional information security analyst and a novice computer historian.
He currently works at a global firm that engineers and manufactures advanced materials and is
headquartered in Butler County. He has been in the field of information technology for the past 18 years

Report on the WPXI Tour
On Tuesday15AUG17. the Pittsburgh IEEE IAS/PES Joint Chapter held a meeting and engineering tour
at the WPXI Channel 11 Television Studio located just North of Pittsburgh, PA. Our tour presenter was
Otto Schellin. Otto is the Director of Engineering at WPXI.
We had a great turnout of 36 attendees that included 21 IEEE members. The meeting and tour walked
through the history of WPXI which included the signing on of the TV Station known as WIIC back in
August 1957. The station broadcast launch was performed by Bill Cardille. Bill Cardille was also known
for hosting memorable programs such as Chiller Theatre and Studio Wrestling.
In April 1981, the station's call sign was changed to WPXI for "Pittsburgh 11", (with XI being the
Roman Numeral for 11).
WPXI currently transmits as virtual channel 11 (UHF digital channel 48) with its antenna located in the
Fineview section of Pittsburgh putting out an Effective Radiated Power Output of 1000 kW (1 Million
Watts). There are backup generators located at both the antenna and also the TV Studio. The TV Studio
employs a 1.5-Megawatt backup generator that spins up to power in a superfast speed of just 8 seconds!
IEEE Pittsburgh Section Bulletin November 2017, Volume 66 No. 11 Page 8 of 12
We were lucky enough to have special guest Stephone Cropper stop by for a surprise visit during the
meeting. Stephen is the Chief Meteorologist (Weather Man) of WPXI. He gave us a brief overview of
meteorology for the Pittsburgh area. He also gave us insight and safety tips on the Solar Eclipse of
Mon-21AUG17. Below left, is Stephen talking with our group. Below right, is a great picture of our
whole IEEE group behind the official WPXI TV News Desk!
The use of Green Screen video screen is used in television news especially for the weather forecasters.
Below we have a demonstration on the use of the Green Screen Technology. Take notice of our pointing
volunteer in front of the big green screen with nothing on it, below left. He seems to be pointing to
nothing on the screen, ahhhh, but then look to the left of our volunteer and you’ll notice that he is
pointing at a super imposed weather map of the PA Tri State area. Below right, take notice of the photo
with fully automated cameras that are used to broadcast the news to the viewers at home.
See the news room area below left where news comes into WPXI and the many members of the WPXI team
organize and get the news out to the public. Otto Schellin below right is a major contributor to getting this news to
you in a perfect HD picture with his many years of engineering experience.
IEEE Pittsburgh Section Bulletin November 2017, Volume 66 No. 11 Page 9 of 12

George In Big Screen Battle
The following may be of interest to our Pittsburgh Section members:
A biographical historical film throwing light on one of George Westinghouse’s technical struggles in the
nineteenth century is due for release soon.
The Current War is the dramatic, illuminating story of the cutthroat race between
electricity titans Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse to determine whose
electrical system would power the modern world.
It’s 1879 and Edison and Westinghouse -- the greatest inventors of the industrial
age -- engage in a battle of technology and ideas that will determine whose
electrical system will power the new century. Edison dazzles the world by lighting
Manhattan. But George Westinghouse, aided by Nikola Tesla, sees fatal flaws in
Edison's direct current design. Westinghouse and Tesla bet everything on the risky
and dangerous alternating current. It’s electrifying stuff!
The film starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Shannon as Thomas Edison and George
Westinghouse respectively is due for release in the USA in November, and early 2018 in the UK.

Report on the North American Power Symposium
General Chair and Co-Chair of NAPS 2017 The 49th North American Power Symposium was held at The Marriott Waterfront Hotel in Morgantown, WV from September 17-19, 2017. The conference included more than 250 technical papers on research, practice and education in key power system areas and represented more than 15 countries. NAPS is held every year at a different university in North America and provides an open forum for participants from academia and industry to exchange innovative ideas and solutions. The conference began on Sunday September 17 th by three tutorials on Cybersecurity, Big data and Microgrids and continued with tours to AES Laurel Mountain Windfarm, Longview Power Plant and WVU Campus as well as Coopers Rock tours along with some committee meetings. Monday began with a Welcome address by Symposium Chair Jignesh Solanki and Co-Chair Sarika Khushalani Solanki and opening remarks by Gordon Gee, President of West Virginia University and Gene Cilento, Glen Hiner Dean of College of Engineering and Mineral Resources. Wayne Carr from Milsoft Utility Solutions; Mark McGranaghan, Vice President of distribution and energy utilization sector from Electric Power Research Institute; Mike Doran, Vice President of Operations, Duquesne Light Company; Eyad Abed, Program Director-Division of Electrical Communications and Cyber Systems were the keynote speakers on Monday. Tom Weaver, manager distribution system planning, American Electric Power; Marija Ilic, Professor at Carnegie Mellon University and Di Shi, manager, PMU and System Analytics Group, GEIRI North America were the plenary speakers on Tuesday. The keynote and plenary sessions were followed by eight parallel technical sessions with 32 sessions over two days. NAPS continued the long-held tradition of encouraging student-presented papers and recognizing student best efforts by six prize paper awards presented during the closing ceremony where all efforts including volunteer efforts were recognized. The 300 attendees at the conference had a fun night on Monday with gala dinner at the local Crab Shack Caribba at Cheat Lake. The Symposium organizers wanted to showcase Morgantown and its natural beauty through boat rides for attendees. The attendees also danced to live music from local band. “I will never forget the boat ride – that was terrific,” said Gerald Heydt, Professor Arizona State University. The conference was marked as a huge success, at the closing ceremony, by Anil Pahwa, Logan-Fetterhoof Endowed Chair Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. “The bar of NAPS has been raised by Jignesh and Sarika” said Rajesh Kavasseri, a faculty from North Dakota State University who will be hosting this event in 2018. The students got motivated and mentioned that they would like to attend this conference every year and noted this conference as the best NAPS conference. In particular, the views surrounding the hotel, plenary and keynote setup, food, boat ride, tutorials, tours, and the technical papers got high remarks. In 2019, NAPS will be hosted by Wichita State University and in 2020 by Arizona State University.
