ASME TechCast kicks off a new series, “Meet Your Educator,” spotlighting engineering professionals at ASME Learning & Development who are providing specialized training to help engineering professionals advance their skills and grow their careers.
In this episode, Chris O'Rourke, manager of the Educator Community, chats with welding instructor Logan Kucerak, owner and founder of Kucerak Engineering.
With more than two decades in the welding industry, Kucerak has led welded fabrication and installation projects across six continents. His professional background spans the oil and gas, power generation, and desalination industries. He now applies his expertise to pressurized and non-pressurized ground support equipment in the aerospace industry.
After listening, if you would like to take a course with Kucerak, check out the classes he currently teaches on ASME.org. He has also launched a YouTube channel, where he will be posting content in the near future.
