We want all STEM students to find employment
with manufacturers and take an active role.

We want to support the future engineers who will carry the manufacturing industry forward.
We want all STEM students to find employment with manufacturers and take an active role.
This conviction drives us to help students leverage what they’ve learned in university to find employment as engineers.

Seminar Overview

Target Students
1st to 4th year undergraduates, and 1st and 2nd year graduate students studying mechanical/electrical disciplines in Engineering Departments, and physics in Science Departments.
Example Themes

Comments from seminar participants

Student

I used to wonder whether my regular studies would come in handy at all. But now that I see how I will use them in the real world, I want to put more effort into my studies now.
I didn’t think I was cut out for design and development. But attending the seminar sparked an interest, and now I want to learn more about other types of work.

Professor

I normally tell my students these things, but having actual experienced engineers tell them further deepens the student’s understanding.
Students come to understand the value of the engineering expertise they are learning at university. Afterward, they actively engage in classes and experiments.
