National Engineers Week
Russ Howard, right, director of the Engineering and Technical Management Directorate, listens as engineers Richard Shirley and Jennifer Tromble discuss types of work done in the Materials Lab of Physical Sciences. Mr. Shirley brings almost 50 years of experience to his role as chief of the Physical Science Laboratory, overseeing five sections. Ms. Tromble joined Tinker as a metallurgical engineer two years ago and represents the “future of the labs”, said Mr. Shirley. All are preparing for Engineering Week which starts Sunday.
