Planning to work as an Engineer? How to Make Sense of your Engineering Education

Emanuel Sachs, Professor of Mechanical Engineering

Add to Calendar Feb/02 Fri 03:00PM-04:00PM Rm 3-370

Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Prereq: None

Happily, you will not be doing problem sets as a working engineer!  Not even close.  No one right answer, for starters.  So, what will you be doing?  How do the pieces of engineering that you have been exposed to fit together?  What other pieces are needed to complete the puzzle?  What is the picture formed by the completed puzzle?  (Hint: math and science may not be at the center.)

Come hear the thoughts of a faculty member who has spent half his career in academia and half in industry and has been involved with eight start-ups (some in 3D Printing, some in Photovoltaics) including licensor, co-founder and CTO roles.

Just an hour long.  Good chance you'll hear something worth the hours' time.
