Backscatter author Donald Christiansen has compiled some of his earliest, thought- provoking columns in a new IEEE-USA e-book, , The Best of Backscatter from Today’s Engineer – Volume1. Here's a brief review.

With all the concerns of rising gas prices, home foreclosures, rising health care costs, and bills, bills, bills, it is ironic that many people have not given thought to the financial security of their loved one or themselves when either one dies.

Nearly 500,000 new small businesses are created every year; yet many fail because new business owners don’t have the information necessary to get a good start in their businesses. The IEEE’s interest in entrepreneurs is logical; afterall, the success of the U.S. economy is based on innovative technology.

To help IEEE members learn to innovate, IEEE-USA is launching a new Innovation Institute geared at training current and future business, academic and government employees responsible for the innovation of new products and services.

IEEE-USA's e-book IEEE-USA envisions offering IEEE members quality original and compilation e-books at great prices that would both assist them in their career guidance and development, and help educate and inform IEEE members on tech policy topics of interest to engineers.

The debate over funding for public transit versus funding for highway projects is not new. Monies for both are scarce, and the demise of projects designed to promote mobility improvements, operational efficiencies, cost effectiveness and environmental benefits may come soon, when the 2005 Transportation-Treasury spending bill cuts projects it determines have no tangible benefit…

Delays in the visa process affect companies financially. IEEE-USA president John Steadman joined other organization leaders in urging the federal government to streamline the current visa application process by alleviating repetitive security checks, improving the renewal process, and establishing priority processing for some applications.

Although we have approximately 140,000 miles of track in the United States and thousands of passengers travel by rail each day — 65,000 passengers a day on Amtrak alone — little is currently in place to prevent a terrorist attack. And unlike the uniformity the Transportation Security Administration has brought to airline security, no systematic answer to rail security is apparent.

While much talk surrounds the question of whether or not an engineering shortage actually exisits, many believe an issue just as worthy of debate and action is engineering equality. What is IEEE-USA doing to encourage young women, minorities, people with disabilities and the disadvantaged to consider engineering a viable career choice?
