It is the part-time students\u2019 passion and dedication that really tell the tale. Their reasons for going back to school are as far-reaching as the professional paths they seek.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keeping Current: Ray Livermore \u201902 MSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While earning a master\u2019s degree in environmental engineering, 34-year old Ray Livermore \u201902 MSE says he took classes at \u201cjust about every location\u201d PTE has around the state. The Timonium resident squeezed in classes at the Homewood campus, in Montgomery and Harford counties, and at the Dorsey Center near the Baltimore-Washington International Airport.<\/p>\n<p>The busy environmental engineer is an employee of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in downtown Baltimore, as well as a husband and a father of two. Now that he has completed the program, he doesn\u2019t hesitate to tell people \u201chow good it is to have a normal life again.\u201d Still, he doesn\u2019t regret for a minute the sacrifices he has made to advance his career and grow in his profession. \u201cIf you are not up on the latest techniques,\u201d he says, \u201cyou will be left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Livermore earned his undergraduate degree in marine engineering, then went to work at a Naval shipyard in South Carolina, refueling nuclear subs. He later became involved in the cleanup and closing of bases. Thus began his foray into environmental engineering, specifically in the area of toxic and radiation remediation.<\/p>\n<p>His job with the Corps involves the restoration and cleanup of military bases and active or formerly used defense sites where contamination has been found. He and his team of engineers also provide technical consultation for civilian sites that look to the Corps for expertise. Livermore realized additional schooling would be necessary \u201cto feel more comfortable\u201d in his new field. The PTE environmental engineering program, which many of his co-workers also have completed, seemed like a good fit. \u201cEngineering is really a core of skills that can pertain to many kinds of problem-solving challenges,\u201d says Livermore. With his PTE degree, he observes, \u201cI feel armed with more knowledge, ready for the new challenges that make engineering really interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy in Action: Jackie Dvorak<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On one of her two days off each week, PTE undergraduate Jacqueline M. Dvorak drops off her 5-year-old son at kindergarten before settling down to a solid day of studying. Her 7-year old daughter makes it to dancing lessons with the help of her husband, David. Sometimes he\u2019ll take the children to spend a weekend with relatives to give her more time to study. \u201cI have to give my husband a lot of credit,\u201d says the energetic 33-year old.<\/p>\n<p>An engineering technician at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in southern Maryland, Dvorak will complete her BSE next spring. She is part of the first undergraduate PTE class to graduate from the Hopkins Southern Maryland Higher Education Center in the nearby town of California.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people don\u2019t understand the importance of getting both electrical and mechanical engineering in a single degree,\u201d Dvorak explains. \u201cBut it\u2019s a natural for anyone who wants to move into project management, or get into systems design.\u201d And a Hopkins degree \u201c has such a great reputation,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>She and her husband are now considering pursuing MSE degrees together (he is an engineer at Calvert Cliffs). \u201cWe just really believe in education,\u201d she says. \u201cI love to be challenged. I think learning should be an ongoing process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Going the Distance: Dan Kelly \u201993 MSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At 36, Dan Kelly is well along the way to his second master\u2019s degree through PTE. He earned his MSE in electrical engineering in 1993 and expects to complete his MSE in computer science next summer. Kelly keeps focused on learning, thanks to an understanding fianc\u00e9e and his own commitment to the idea that \u201cI am in an information field, and the most important information is that which is in your brain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a principal technical staff member at AT&amp;T in Columbia, Maryland, Kelly oversees a team of six other engineers in the AT&amp;T Solutions group. His team develops \u201ceverything from custom-built embedded switching and telephony applications to web sites and databases\u201d for corporate customers. \u201cThe fun part about this job,\u201d he observes, \u201cis there is always something new.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The dedicated athlete whose goal is to \u201crun a marathon in every state\u201d knows his most grueling race is to fit everything into the day. When he\u2019s not solving problems, counseling his team, or in class at the APL Education Center or the Dorsey Center, he\u2019s likely to be training for the distance running he loves, \u201cusually at about 6 a.m.,\u201d he laughs.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly chose the Whiting School\u2019s PTE program for several reasons. \u201cHopkins has an emphasis on software engineering,\u201d which is exactly the direction he was moving. Also, \u201cIt\u2019s convenient for me,\u201d says the Owings Mills resident. He\u2019s impressed that the PTE program \u201clooks for suggestions on how they can meet your needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most PTE students\u2014and faculty members\u2014are working professionals. \u201cWe either know what we want to enhance or what we want to get involved in,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since childhood, Kelly has nurtured his love of engineering. \u201cI\u2019ve always been fascinated by how things work,\u201d he says. \u201cI enjoy solving problems, challenges, finding out how the world ticks. I love to build things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Master of Hurdles: Gary Day \u201987 MSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Like any good programmer and software engineer, Gary Day \u201987 MSE has found work-arounds. But he has one more challenge than most people: He is blind. Ever resourceful, Day has now almost completed his second master\u2019s degree at PTE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came to Maryland from the University of Maine with an undergraduate degree in mathematics to work for the National Security Agency,\u201d Day says. He completed his master\u2019s in computer science at PTE between 1985 and 1987. Now the 50-year old NSA computer analyst is enrolled in the Advanced Certificate for Post- Master\u2019s Study program, for he wants to \u201cget back up to speed on all the latest technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Whiting School\u2019s PTE program offers some definite advantages, Day affirms. \u201cI can take classes in the evening,\u201d he says, when it\u2019s easier to get a cab. And the APL Education Center is near his home in Laurel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think of myself as primarily a UNIX programmer,\u201d Day says. One of the things he likes best about PTE is access to state-of-theart workstations running Sun Solaris (a UNIX operating system). The class he recently took in distributed development on the web was made easier because of this. \u201cSun is a system set up with all the necessary compilers,\u201d he explains. \u201cI can do all software development there much more easily.\u201d The class, which focuses on Java scripting of \u201capplets that run within browsers,\u201d requires testing from within other browsers. \u201cI can test them from home just by calling up the pages within the browser where I have all of my speech recognition applications installed,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Day makes use of learning materials in alternate forms, for example, tape recordings of texts as well as PDFs converted into computer-readable text for his speech recognition software.<\/p>\n<p>When asked why it is so important to continue his education, Day is matter-of-fact: \u201cA major concern in software development today is computer platform independence. The best way to build software that will run on any computer is to build applications to run on the web.\u201d The people at PTE are all up on the latest web technologies, and the programs are geared toward working professionals,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a really collegial environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Whiting School\u2019s part-time programs, visit <strong>www.wse.jhu.edu\/pte\/<\/strong> or call <strong>1-800-548-3647.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few professions face such rapid change and transformation as engineering, so it should come as no surprise that the Johns Hopkins Part-time Programs in Engineering and Applied Science (PTE) are among the fastest growing at the University.
