FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. Chicago, Illinois
4/26/2007 - OnShore Technology Group, fast-growing
Chicago-based engineering and technology services
provider, today announced its presentation "Technology
For a Global Economy: What Engineers Need To Know"
seminar. This seminar was delivered to the University
of Wisconsin College of Engineering as part of their
"Connections" educational series.
The presentation delivered a 21st century view of
engineering and what the future holds for young
engineers. Based on current experiences in the
marketplace as an engineer, technical marketer, and
entrepreneur, Ms. King-Bailey highlighted the changing
global landscape and summarized key opportunities for
young engineers. "It is an exciting time to be an
engineer", said Valarie. "Engineers today live and work
in a world with no boundaries. They are free to
practice their profession and reach out around the
world. I tried to convey to the students that as a
young engineer, I dreamed of a world where information
flowed freely and learning was a life long event. They
now live in that world and the sky is the limit",
continued Valarie.
Ms. King-Bailey has been a pioneer throughout her 26
year career in engineering and business. In 1982, she
became the first Afro-American female graduate from the
College of Engineering at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. Valarie quickly rose through the
ranks gaining international executive experience and
industry recognition with leading organizations such as
Abbott Laboratories, Intergraph Corporation, EMC/Documentum
and U.S. Steel which led her to the pinnacle of her
career as CEO of OnShore Technology Group. OnShore
Engineering has the distinction as one of a handful of
Afro-American, female-owned engineering companies in the
U.S. Valarie holds a B.S. in Civil and Environmental
Engineering and an M.B.A. in Information Systems from
