The Silicon Valley Business of Engineering is a great meet-up group put together by
Elise Engelhardt (LinkedIn profile here<\/a> ) who, in my opinion is a great power networker and leader. Among many others, I attended the first meeting today and it was a great success!<\/p>

The event was sponsored by two groups, Ozen Engineering (website here<\/a>) and STM, aptly named Service To Mankind ( website here<\/a> ). Instead of using their generous sponsorship as a platform to rave about themselves, both Metin Ozen of Ozen Engineering and Floyd Bertagnolli of STM kept their presentations very brief and informative (I learned something exciting, which I hope to share with you in a separate post). <\/p>

The group's future events would be a great resource for engineers, not only medical device folks, but others as well. I ran into a host of service providers, consultants and so on. It was inspiring to meet some very entrepreneurial folks as well.<\/p>

I networked with a bunch of folks, some of whom were kind enough to share in great detail how they charged for consulting, how they came up with the plans and so on. I also spent a good deal of time talking to another former Apple employee on the care they pay in engineering their products. The whole event was very educational for me. I hope to run into some of you at the next event!<\/p>

I think this is a great beginning and a wonderful resource for engineers in the Silicon Valley, to carry on, as the title says, with the business of engineering. <\/p>
