Two Eastern Mennonite University alumni will share their career stories and reflections in the fields of engineering and technology during a special Oct. 14 <\/span>Suter Science Seminar<\/span><\/a> at Homecoming and Family Weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Eric Moyer and John Swartzendruber serve on the Engineering Advisory Board that has supported EMU\u2019s new four-year <\/span>engineering<\/span><\/a> degree. Moyer works in aircraft design, while Swartzendruber is a consultant in information technology (IT).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited for their presentations at the seminar, as this will be a great opportunity to hear about important issues in industry today, and about how their careers in technical fields were influenced by their experiences at EMU,\u201d said physics professor <\/span>Daniel King<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThey have shared knowledge of their respective fields \u2014 and a commitment to EMU education \u2014 as they have helped to shape our program.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the presentations, there will be time for conversation and audience questions. <\/span><\/p>\n

The free seminar will be Saturday, Oct. 14, at 9:30 a.m. in Science Center room 106.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eric Moyer<\/b><\/h3>\n

Moyer began working as a structural design engineer at Boeing\u2019s Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, facility in 2006, but was then selected for extended work assignments in Charleston, South Carolina, and Everett, Washington, supporting Boeing\u2019s new 787 composite airplane. In 2010, Moyer moved with his wife Jessica to Seattle to continue his support of the 787. Currently, he is a lead project engineer at Boeing\u2019s new 777X Composite Wing Center facility in Everett. <\/span><\/p>\n

Moyer grew up in Harleysville, Pennsylvania, and studied math and science courses while at EMU from 1999 to 2001. After graduating from Drexel University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in mechanical engineering, he worked as a mechanical engineer for two years in a small contract machine shop in Easton, Pennsylvania. <\/span><\/p>\n

Engineering program director and professor <\/span>Esther Tian<\/span><\/a> expressed appreciation for Moyer\u2019s involvement at EMU and his passion for the projects of the Engineers for a Sustainable World club. \u201cHe offers ideas and suggestions about students capstone projects, and shares insider information as a recruiter for students employment upon graduation,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

John Swartzendruber<\/b><\/h3>\n

Swartzendruber is an IT consultant who earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry in 1979. He joined Eli Lilly and Company as an organic chemist in pharmaceutical research, developed software for the x-ray crystallography group and, in 1989, earned his master\u2019s degree in computer science from Purdue University. He led the effort to build ELVIS, Lilly\u2019s worldwide intranet, one of the first corporate intranets constructed. <\/span><\/p>\n

As the enterprise architect for Lilly Global Infrastructure, Swartzendruber focused on ubiquitous computing and virtualization. In 2008, he joined Apparatus, an IT consulting firm, where he managed large virtualized infrastructures for enterprise clients. He retired in 2015, but maintains an active interest in distributed computing and privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tian said that Swartzendruber has also been a \u201cstrong supporter\u201d of the engineering program at EMU and has provided \u201cinsight in technology and knowledge of cutting-edge development in computer science and computer engineering.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Suter Science Seminars are made possible by the sponsorship of the <\/span>Daniel B. Suter Endowment in Biology<\/span><\/a> and the co-sponsorship of supporting programs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
