When Rusty White passed his PE exam on his first try last fall, it came as no surprise to us.
Despite his youthful energy, Rusty’s no greenhorn—but many are surprised to learn just how much education and experience our newest PE has to back up his license. Beginning in 1989, he learned the value of well-designed instrumentation and automation as a production planner for a specialty alloys manufacturer. By 1992 he earned his first degree, a B.S. in Industrial Technology.
Our perpetual student, Rusty, is now also an incredibly versatile electrical engineer.
After over a decade in manufacturing, Rusty turned to electrical engineering as his next challenge. Working his way through college, this husband, father, and nontraditional student earned his BSEE in 2005.
Along the way, he’s performed numerous power system studies and mastered a host of software applications during his radio telemetry, arc flash hazard analysis and SCADA* training, including this partial list:
- Micropath Radio Path Analysis for SCADA
- Allen Bradley RS Logix Ladder and Structured Text Programming
- Control Microsystems Telepace programming for SCADAPack controllers
- GE Intellution iFix Human Machine Interface applications
- Wonderware
- SKM Analysis for Modeling electrical power systems
- Arc Flash Hazard Analysis and NFPA 70E Electrical Safety in the Workplace
Rusty enjoys the personal interaction and technical complexities involved when working with treatment plant operators to identify the best solutions for their electrical infrastructure, or to determine the appropriate level of SCADA training for staff to operate and maintain their facilities’ automated systems.

I concur, Dee. You’d never guess from his Serious Face above how much he brightens up the office!
