PINE BELT, Miss. (WDAM) - Saturday wraps up this year’s National Engineers Week. Engineers are often the people behind projects and work that people benefit from and use every day.
Jeremiah Seal, manager of Engineering Services at Southern Pine Electric, says his team does a lot of planning for putting up power lines – and so much more.
“It’s not just doing poles and lines and math and calculations. There’s also some technology that’s involved as well,” Seal said. “This department touches a lot of things. Anywhere from if you call in an outage – the after-hours dispatch – that’s all an engineering function.”
I m doing school part-time and I have a one-year-old son now! His name is Ander. He s just starting to learn how to walk. He s crawling up on things. It s very fun, Eaton told us this week.
It all fell into place for him after speaking at an Olympic Day event at Intel in the Bay Area. Eaton was living there with his wife Brianne Theisen-Eaton, a 2016 Olympic Games bronze medalist and fellow Oregon alum. He was later hired by Intel in 2020.
