Chinatown, as a pioneer enterprise started by the family’s patriarch, Mr. Cobankiat, in 1920.
Despite the ruins of World War II, the business got back to its feet in 1948, rebuilding a storefront
from the very same spot where it was known for three decades.

up CBK Hardware as one of its major suppliers. This further expanded into delivering quality
world-class products nearer to families of Filipino overseas workers in the countryside.

In addition to your educational requirements,
you will also need to have the proper skills
and experience. Many employers prefer to
hire electrical engineers with experience in
the field. If you have no experience, you may

skills. When something goes wrong with an
electrical system, it’s often up to the engineer
to figure out the issue and how to fix it. This
requires being able to think critically and come
up with creative solutions.
Finally, having good people skills is also
important. As an engineer, you’ll regularly work
with other professionals (such as architects and
project managers). Being able to communicate
with them effectively will help make sure that
projects run smoothly.
The experience you need to find the
right electrical engineering job
When it comes to finding the right electrical
engineering job, experience is key. Here are
a few things you should keep in mind when
searching for the perfect position:
1. Know your worth. Don’t sell yourself short
- know your skills and experience, and be
confident in your abilities.
2. Do your research. Make sure you know what
the company is looking for and whether or not
you’re a good fit.

Cost-Effective Load
Flexibility Can Reduce
Costs by More Than $15
Billion Annually
Economists at The Brattle Group have
released a new study that identifies
nearly 200 GW of cost-effective load
flexibility potential in the U.S. by 2030.
This load flexibility potential, which equates
to 20% of estimated U.S. peak load in 2030,
would more than triple the existing demand
response (DR) capability and would be worth
more than $15 billion annually in avoided
system costs.
The Brattle study combines insights from a
number of client engagements conducted
to assess the value and market potential
of emerging load flexibility opportunities
across various jurisdictions in North America.
Historically, conventional DR has provided
significant value through peak demand
reductions. However, system needs are
evolving, with a growing need for renewables
integration and grid modernization. Load
flexibility – the real-time control of electricity
usage to provide a range of grid services
around the clock – can play a key role in
addressing these new challenges.
Using Brattle’s LoadFLEX model and data from
a representative sampling of utilities in the U.S.,
the Brattle study estimates that the current
DR capability of 60 GW could nearly double
under current market conditions, gaining
16 GW by simply modernizing conventional
DR programs and an additional 40 GW by
introducing new load flexibility programs and
value streams. Market transformation through
2030 – including smart metering deployment,
60

renewable generation adoption, and
expansion of the transmission and distribution
system – could unlock an additional increase
of 80 GW. This would result in a total national
potential estimate of 200 GW of load flexibility.
The nationwide benefits of load flexibility
could exceed $15 billion per year by 2030
and are driven by avoided investment in
generation capacity, reduced energy costs,
geographically-targeted transmission and
distribution (T&D) investment deferral, and the
provision of ancillary services.
“The potential for load flexibility to facilitate the
transition to a decarbonized power system is
remarkable and currently overlooked,” noted
Ryan Hledik, a Brattle principal and the study’s
lead author. “Our study demonstrates the
importance for utilities and regulators to look
beyond conventional ‘DR 1.0’ options when
analyzing new demand-side opportunities.”
The study concludes with three predictions for
the evolution of load flexibility initiatives over
the next decade:
- Utility load flexibility programs will become
smarter before they get bigger, by first
modernizing existing demand response
programs to tap into their underutilized
potential.
- Residential load flexibility additions will
exceed those of larger commercial and
industrial customers, despite having only a
30% share of the current demand response
market.
- New regulatory incentives will be a primary
driver of growth in load flexibility, due to
renewed industry-wide interest in regulatory
models that encourage utilities to pursue
demand-side initiatives rather than capital
investment in infrastructure.
The Brattle study, The National Potential for
Load Flexibility: Value and Market Potential
Through 2030, is authored by Brattle Principals
Ryan Hledik and Ahmad Faruqui, Senior
Research Analyst Tony Lee, and Research
Analyst John Higham. The LoadFLEX model
utilized in this study was most recently used
to support the integrated resource planning
effort of Xcel Energy in its Northern States
Power service territory.

The 4 Areas of Your
Engineering Business You
Should Outsource
This decade is set to be one of
the most interesting years yet
for business, technology, and
engineering. As we all know,
running a business is incredibly difficult
but thanks to advancements in tech and
software it is becoming much easier.
One of the most useful advancements for
business has been the improved ability
to outsource many tasks, thanks to better
forms of communication and the ability
to send money around the world quickly
and safely.
This has allowed many businesses to
go online and find the best freelancer
or organization for individual projects
or ongoing tasks that they do not want
to complete in-house. This frees up a
company’s employees and allows them
to work on more important aspects of
their role. It also saves a business a lot of
money in the long run.
Here are the 4 areas of your
Engineering business you
should outsource.
1. Content Marketing
Marketing was one of the first areas of
a business to be outsourced with many
freelance designers or small creative
agencies working solely online. Now, all
72

aspects of marketing can be outsourced
with ease. This can include anything
from design, copywriting, strategy, SEO,
advertising, and content creation.
Marketing is absolutely essential to
any business that wants to succeed in
2020. It is imperative that businesses
develop their brand, build a rapport
with their customers, and market their
latest products/services in the best way
possible. Without a solid marketing plan,
over 35% of businesses fail.
A modern business can not deny the
importance of marketing. However, the
internet is now making it easier than ever
to go online and find the perfect marketing
freelancers and agencies with the click of
a button. If you need a specific project
completing like web design you can find a
professional freelancer with tons of proven
experience on Fiverr at a decent rate.
Those in need of a full marketing solution
can find a digital marketing agency who
can manage everything you need from
brand awareness to email campaigns all
via Skype and email.
This flexibility allows a business to save
serious amounts of money from their
marketing budget without sacrificing any
quality in your marketing performance.
2. IT Services
The days of implementing large and
expensive in-house IT departments are
over. Now, with the help of the improved
connectivity of people via the internet, all
your IT support needs can be handled by
an external IT solutions company.
This has a many benefits for a business.
First, it saves the business a small fortune
that would usually be spent on paying
a large number of IT staff in-house.
Second, your IT team can now spend
their precious time on helping to build
your business through innovative new
hardware and software solutions. Finally,
your business saves tons of time which
would otherwise be spent dealing with
IT issues in-house freeing up everyone
to concentrate on their own work and
avoiding any implications between inhouse
staff.
Now, full IT support can be had at the
click of a button or a simple phone call.
IT support companies usually offer 24/7
support for your staff using the best
trained IT personnel available who all
boast the latest in IT certifications and
training. No more hefty expenses or time
lost when you need to re-train your inhouse
IT support.

3. Accounts
Not all business need a full accounting department, especially small businesses. Outsourcing
your accounting needs has a myriad of benefits for business owners and their team. Let’s
face it, most of us don’t enjoy the task of accounting as it takes up so much of our times and
induces so much stress among team members.
So, why not outsource your accounting needs to a freelancer or accounting firm? Let them
handle all the stress and pain in balancing the books or tracking expenses so that you and
your team can focus on your own roles. Outsourcing your accounts saves you money also
eliminating the need to hire full-time accountants that are not needed on a 9-5 basis. You can
use your outsourced accounts team only as and when you need them and only pay them for
that time.
You can also help to reduce fraud by hiring a CFO who is trained to investigate any unusual
activity. As a small business, you usually wouldn’t be able to hire a full-time CFO, but when
you outsource you can hire a CFO part-time to watch out for unusual activity.
Finally, when you hire a specialised accounting firm you are hiring a team of experts in their
field. You aren’t required to train them or pay for the latest certifications. This is all handled by
the third-party accounting firm This saves you money, time, and ensure you are always getting
the best accounting service possible.

4. Virtual Assistant
A virtual assistant is relatively new concept that has been taking off around the world. Rather
than hiring a full-time in-house assistant, you can now hire an expert virtual assistant who
works remotely and only works the hours required to complete your tasks. Almost like a payas-you-go
assistant. This saves money, time and ensures you are getting a great assistant.
With modern technology, it’s simple for a virtual assistant to stay on top of your every need.
They can communicate through messenger services, emails, Skype, Slack, Teamwork or
whatever system you prefer. Scheduling, bookings, meetings, data input and more can all be
completed from a remote desk by your virtual assistant.
Having a virtual assistant or more in different time zones can also help you to offer your clients
a 24/7 service making your business always open and ready to take new orders, information,
meetings, and invitations. You can also scale your assistant needs up and down as necessary
with no contracts or commitments in place.
The biggest benefit to having virtual assistants is to allow you to create a better work-life
balance for yourself. You no longer need to always be available when your armed with a
number of competent virtual assistants that can handle everything for you while you spend
time with your family or enjoy a round of golf.

Four Common Payroll
Pitfalls in Engineering
Business
Payroll management in the engineering
business world sounds simple in
theory. However, it’s surprisingly
easy for a growing engineering
business to make payroll-related mistakes,
especially if it doesn’t have robust processes
and systems in place. In some cases, an
error can have serious consequences for a
business, ranging from damaging employee
morale to losses from fraud.
Here are a few of the most common errors
industrial, tech, construction, energy, and
engineering businesses make in managing
their payrolls:
1. Failing to automate your
engineering business
Putting this one right on top of the list makes
sense because poor systems and controls
are the root cause of most of the other payroll
mistakes listed below. If you don’t have an
automated system in place, you can easily
make errors in calculating employee salaries
and deductions, and in recording employee
information and transactional data.
Failing to automate also means the payroll
team spends most of its time on compliance
80

and admin issues, when it should ideally
be focusing on helping the engineering
business understand payroll costs, identify
trends, enable better employee experiences,
and provide strategic advice to finance and
management teams.
2. Not putting checks and
balances in place to your
engineering business
Payroll fraud is a major risk for engineering
businesses today and is often discovered
by accident, only after the company has lost
a vast amount of money. Many small and
medium-sized businesses are vulnerable
to payroll fraud because they don’t put
appropriate checks in place. For example,
they often give one accountant or payroll
manager complete access to the payroll
system and company bank account. The
simplest way to prevent most incidents of
payroll fraud is to enforce segregation of
duties in the payroll department. Employees
calculating pay rates and accumulated
hours for payroll should ideally not be the
same people who process the payments.
Different people should have responsibility
for capturing payroll data and for managing
access to the system as well as adding
and removing employees from the payroll.
Yet another person could be tasked with
checking whether the numbers add up.
3. Poor control over leave days
It can be all too easy to lose track of leave
days if an employee takes leave without
proper authorisation. The likely outcomes of
such irregularities can be that an employee
benefits from extra paid leave or loses
leave days due to errors in data capture,
or that their available leave payment may
be inaccurately calculated when they
resign from the company. Other issues may
include two critical team members applying
for and having their leave approved at the
same time, when at least one should be in
the office.
An automated payroll system allows you to
easily process leave applications. It enables
you to manage leave administration,
enforce company-specific leave policies
and ensure the records are accurate. You
can also introduce the employee selfservice
mechanism to streamline leave
applications and approvals for employees
and managers.
4. Travel allowance pitfalls
Reimbursements and allowances for
employee business travel are a minefield
if you are not prepared. A travel allowance
is a regular monthly amount the employer
pays an employee to compensate them for
travel in either a privately-owned vehicle or
for industrial, construction, technology and
energy engineering business related air
travel.
It is better to persuade team members to
opt for reimbursements rather than travel
allowances simply because they are easier
to understand. Once again, an automated
payroll solution will do the calculations for
you and help capture the right data using
the correct categorisation.
Final Words from an Engineer
There is no reason today for payroll to be
a headache or a distraction. Suitable tools
can help you take care of most of the red
tape so you can focus on vital areas of the
engineering business, such as growth,
strategy and talent development.

What to Expect from an
Engineering Consulting
Firm
There almost always comes a time
when utilizing a consulting firm will be
a necessity for a business, whether
it’s for marketing information, strategy
advice, or certain skills that don’t exist in the
organization. Consultants can provide solutions
for a wide range of issues businesses face,
which is why the U.S. consulting market has
continued to grow - in 2018 it was estimated to
be a $68.5 billion industry.
There are different types of consulting firms,
such as an economic consulting firm, a
general business consulting firm, a technical
engineering consulting firm, and a legal
consulting firm, with expert consultants
bringing different ideas to the table. They
often work with clients on planning, strategy,
and problem solving, perhaps helping a
business owner develop a particular skill and
knowledge. They may assist in the creation of
marketing plans, determine which marketing
techniques will work best and how to use them,
or help to design a business model.
What can you expect when you
hire an engineering consulting
firm?
An Outsider’s Perspective
Getting a different perspective from an
outside eye can make the difference in solving
problems, the same way it can when dealing
with life situations such as whether or not to take
a new job. Oftentimes, a business owner has
84

an idea on how to solve a problem, but wants
to make sure that their thinking is correct. Or
they may be too close to the challenge that
they miss the obvious answer. Getting the
opinion from a consultant who has worked with
many different businesses, possibly having
worked through the same or a similar problem
before, can provide a new perspective based
on that previous experience, bringing new
and innovative ideas to the table.
Industry Experience and
Knowledge
When choosing an engineering consulting
firm, it’s important to choose one with a
consultant that has experience in your
industry, with in-depth knowledge of what
you do and specific challenges you might be
facing. Beyond knowledge of your industry,
the best consultants should take time to know
your business inside and out, often by making
various assessments and through informal
discussions. They’ll also analyze the results of
any assessment in order to provide you with
a list of any areas of weakness to target for
growth, along with strengths.
Bring Out Your Best Leadership
Skills
The engineering consultant you work with
should help you improve your leadership
skills, not by telling you what to do, but by
guiding you to make better decisions by using
their expertise combined with your personal
strengths. A truly good consultant will be able
to sense when it’s the right time to provide
encouragement or help you obtain a better
by asking various questions.
A Strategy
Expect your engineering consulting firm to
provide you with the best possible strategy
to improve your business based on their
observations, assessment, and your input.
That should include measurable goals that
can help monitor improvements.
Achieving Measurable Results
Expect to achieve measurable, positive
results based on your business goals by
hiring a good consulting firm. While success is
highly unlikely to happen overnight, it should
be clear to you that you’re going in the right
direction. If not, you may need to cut ties and
find an engineering firm and consulting more
suited to your needs.

The Most Important
Features Your
Engineering Website
Needs
Whether you’re launching an engineering business or have decided to go freelance,
you need a website that gives clients a place to learn more about who you are
and what you do. Because engineering covers such a broad spectrum, from
software to mechanics and far beyond, it’s vital to establish what type of engineer
you are as quickly as possible. With a website, you can make this possible, but what else
should you include?
Fast Load Times
No one wants to sit around and wait for a website to load. Studies have shown that the
average person will wait just three seconds before clicking away. Therefore, you must ensure
your website is as quick to load as possible, keeping visitor’s attention.
However, website speeds can be tricky. The more images and information, the slower the
site will be overall. To combat this, you’ll need to look into the best software advancements
that will maintain your website speeds and maintain interest.
A Piece Of Your Mind
It’s not enough to simply list your services and hope that people will get in touch. You need to
show visitors that you know what you’re talking about. As engineering is more of a specialist
88

subject compared to other businesses and
industries, proving your authority is a must.
Blog posts and content, such as videos or
infographics, are a superb way to engage
visitors and show them you know what you
are talking about. Besides this, it’s also the
best way to drive traffic and attract new clients
without spending a fortune on marketing.
Because you have all of this knowledge and
insights already, you’re essentially marketing
our business for free.
A Strong Portfolio
You also cannot rely on a shiny, attractive
website to convince visitors to seek your
business. With engineering being such a
competitive industry, you must show evidence
that you have enough experience to be trusted
with potential projects.
This is why a portfolio of your past projects
is so important. A portfolio can act as a
visual resume, backing up any claims you
make about success with previous clients
and giving potential clients an idea of what
to expect from you. You can put as many or
as few examples as you like, but it’s always
advised to select the projects you are most
proud of alongside those that are the most
successful.
Automatically Updated
Information
Creating a website that also acts as a hub for
engineering information could also benefit
you, especially when you’re trying to stand out
from the crowd. There are plenty of options
to consider, but it’s important to choose the
information that visitors would be interested
in.
Depending on the type of engineering you
specialize in, using aggregators to highlight
the latest developments or keeping up to date
with the stock marketing using alternatives to
Yahoo Finance API can add essential value
to your site, giving you the edge that others
neglect.
Engineering the Best Website
A good website is not built overnight. However,
if you have experience in software engineering,
you can design and maintain a dependable
and attractive website all by yourself. If your
engineering tablets lie elsewhere, get in touch
with a professional web developer to ensure
your site stands out.

important to these organizations, any tools that can aid in the process are extremely valuable.
So what are the best tools to help you with securing and managing your grants? Here are four
beneficial tools to use in your grant management efforts.
Editing Software
An extremely beneficial tool that you can use in your grant management efforts is editing
software. Writing and creating grant proposals and acceptances are absolutely vital in the
grant management process. You need to be able to illustrate why you need the funding from
the grant and persuade others to actually provide you with the grant. In addition, you need
to be able to write compelling acceptance letters that accurately portray your gratitude and
establish relationships that your organization will rely on in the future. In order to do this well,
you need to ensure that your writing is free of spelling and grammar mistakes. While editing
these projects yourself can work, there’s always a chance that something slips through the
cracks, and that’s where editing software can come in. Editing software can ensure that your
proposals are perfect, fixing the mistakes that were made from human error.

Budgeting Software
Budgeting is an extremely important part of grant management. If you’re going to secure a
grant, then you’ll need to illustrate exactly how you’ll use the finances provided from the grant to
better your organization. In order to do this properly, you’ll have to create a budget that uses all
of the funds allocated from the grant effectively and efficiently. During this process, budgeting
software can be a huge help. Rather than computing the budget by hand, budgeting software
can be a huge help in allocating funds efficiently. As a result, budgeting software can be a
huge help in the grant management process.
Management Software
When undergoing grant management, you’re going to need to keep track of a lot of data.
You need to track exactly how much you’re spending and what you’re spending it on. In
addition, you need to ensure that you’re tracking various metrics on how your organization’s
performance is improved or affected by the implementation of the grant’s funds. Tracking so
much data can be tedious, which is where data management software like Microsoft Excel can
come in. Here you can neatly organize all of the data and metrics that you measure, and can
later easily implement them into the reports that you need.
Reporting Software
Whether you’re focusing on federal grant management or private grant management, you’re
going to have to create lots of reports on your organization’s progress. Many grants require
monthly reports to be due on set dates, as they want to ensure that you’re adequately using
the funds provided. These reports will take the metrics that you previously have installed and
present them in a neat and easy-to-follow manner. Reports are critical to your organization’s
success, and as such any help that you can get in creating them is welcome. There is lots of
software out there that can help with the writing and creation of reports, helping you stay on
track with the grant management process. If you want to stay on top of the grant management
process, then effectively using reporting software is a key tool that you need to master.

Do You Have What It
Takes To Be A Chemical
Engineer?
This is your quick guide on what it takes to be part of this very competitive field.
Not everyone can become a chemical engineer. Considered as one of the hardest
engineering courses, it’s no surprise that they receive one of the highest annual wages
around the world. Not only do they apply chemistry and engineering concepts in their
profession, they also have to deal with biology, physics, economics and mathematics
to mass produce different products we use everyday.
Chemical engineers are crucial in a lot of manufacturing industries. They are the ones incharge
in designing processes and identifying which equipment and devices should be
used for large-scale manufacturing of products. Some of them are involved in research and
development of products that can be used for more efficient and effective manufacturing.
Aside from tasks dealing with manufacturing processes, they’re also in-charge in making sure
safety and environmental regulations are met and production costs are handled well. That’s a
lot of jobs very crucial to companies.

But what does it take to be a chemical engineer?
One must obtain a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering – that’s 4 or 5 years of intense
studies of chemistry, physics, mathematics and engineering courses. Internships are usually
required from students to finish the program. This will help them get an idea what kind of job
they’ll be experiencing as soon as they enter the industry. Getting a professional license is
necessary for those interested to advance their careers in the field.
Since chemical engineers work with other engineers and production workers, they must
develop their interpersonal and organizational skills. They also need analytical and problemsolving
skills. Creativity is also required from chemical engineers since they have to find
innovative ways to produce goods in the most efficient ways there are. Later on in their
careers, chemical engineers are in-charge in supervising their teams of engineers and
technicians in different companies. These companies come form different industries such
as energy, food and beverage, electronics, clothing, technology and nanomaterials.
Chemical engineers don’t only work in offices and laboratories. They get to travel a lot.
Depending on the company they work with, they spend a lot of time inside industrial plants
or refineries to help oversee production. These plants can be based locally or outside the
country.
There are health risks in the job, though.
Since chemical engineers are exposed to different chemicals and huge machines and
devices, they are exposed to health and safety hazards. So, be careful!
With great responsibility, does it mean they earn more than other
engineers?
That depends on the company a chemical engineer is employed at. According to the US
Department of Labor, the median annual wage of chemical engineers is over $96,000. The
minimum annual wage a chemical engineer gets is reported to be around $60,000. The
highest annual wage reached around $156,000. Not bad at all.
