This informal short course will give engineering majors an idea of what to expect in the consulting engineering workplace. The course will cover how firms are organized, how they make (or lose) money, and what it is like to work in a consulting firm. The course is geared towards civil and environmental engineers, but will be useful to anyone considering a career in consulting generally or engineering consulting particularly. The presenter has 30 years of experience as a practicing environmental engineer in firms that range from very small (1 person) to the what was at the time the largest engineering firm in the world.
Each session will consist of a formal presentation followed by informal discussion and question and answer.
