Words of wisdom! 😆 I’ve had a few folks reach out and ask about the systems engineering partnership between Stevens Institute of Technology and Northrop Grumman , and it’s great! The practical application of project-based learning is perfectly suited to our line of work. The cohort is often broken into teams, and we can select the topic for our projects which opens the door for us to make it as applicable to our specific industry niche as possible. #systemsengineering #space #spacelogistics

Couldn’t agree more with this, especially: “we have suffered from academic snobbery that refuses to position hands-on, kinaesthetic learning as on a par with traditional academic education”. Digital Innovators have a built a successful and proven programme that follows this approach by getting employers to give young people real-world business challenges they can work on whilst learning vital design, collaboration and problem solving skills. Our challenge is finding a successful business model to deliver what is basically private/public sector training.

"What's different about entering the industry today vs when you started?" This is one of the brilliant questions put to Dave and the rest of the panel at Edinburgh College's Creative and Tech Futures Day 2024. How would you have answered? #design #creativity #technology

When we, ECU College of Engineering and Technology, say we guide students so that they can navigate through college to their academic successes, we mean it, literally: during the #WeekOfWelcome, colleagues in the Student Success Center are greeting new and old students and directing them to their classrooms. #StudentSuccess #AcademicAdvising #GoPitates

Navigating from classroom to career can be complex, but there's things we can do to help simplify that journey. Building effective career and technical education centers where students can discover their passions and access equitable career opportunities is a start.

Navigating your first year as a co-op student at UC can be quite the journey! Discovering how to balance it all is challenging, but worry not - we have a helpful advice roundup from UC's very own Engineering and Applied Science students. 💪🎓 Click on the link to learn some valuable tips on time management: https://bit.ly/3TdtHz9 University of Cincinnati - College of Engineering and Applied Science

#TechyThursday: FRA supported Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech), in collaboration with Pennsylvania State University Altoona (Penn State Altoona) and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), to establish a Tracks to the Future: Railroad Transportation and Engineering summer program for high school students.  The report describes Phase 1 of this program, which was offered in both a traditional, week-long, on-campus program and a hybrid (virtual and in person) version of the program at three different universities.

Happy Engineers Week Everyone! This week let us reflect on the journey of innovation, problem-solving, and progress that defines the field of engineering. This special week is not just a celebration; it's a recognition of the relentless spirit of engineers who envision a better world and work tirelessly to turn those visions into reality. Engineering is a diverse field that spans countless disciplines –mechanical to electrical, civil to software, and beyond. Each branch plays a crucial role in shaping our future, pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and improving our quality of life. Engineers work behind the scenes to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time, innovating for sustainability, efficiency, and safety. To those contemplating a career in engineering – your curiosity, creativity, and perseverance have the potential to lead you to remarkable places. The path of an engineer is one of lifelong learning, where each challenge is an opportunity for growth and each failure a lesson in resilience. Let's use Engineers Week to reflect on our collective achievements, inspire the next generation, and foster a community that celebrates every contribution, no matter how small. Here's to the past, present, and future engineers whose visions and hard work drive humanity forward. To kickstart Engineers Week, I had the fantastic opportunity to chat with Dr. Peter Crouch, Dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington. We dove into a variety of key topics crucial for becoming a great engineer and discussed the support and resources the College offers to help students excel. It was an engaging and enlightening conversation, with Dr. Crouch thoughtfully addressing every question that came up. I was also privileged to have a personal interaction with Dr. Paul Componation, Associate Dean of the College of Engineering. I presented some of my concerns and posed questions related to the Department of Industrial Engineering. Dr. Componation generously provided answers, leading to an engaging and insightful conversation. This experience not only addressed my queries but also offered a deeper understanding of the department's direction and initiatives, further highlighting the commitment of the university's leadership to student success and academic excellence. #engineersweek #stemeducation #stemwomen #engineeringleadership #engineeringexcellence #utaarlingtonengineering

This past week was both exciting and memorable in the St. Charles County CAPS Program. On Monday, we visited SCI Engineering, Inc., where we learned about various roles within the engineering field. Shawnna Erter led the session, engaging the class with her insights. I gained a much deeper appreciation for the work SCI does, and I’m grateful to the team for taking time to share their knowledge with us. On Tuesday, we focused on finalizing our résumés and LinkedIn profiles to ensure a professional online presence. We also sent thank-you emails to our previous guest speakers to show our appreciation for their time and insights into their careers. On Wednesday, we visited the Duckett Creek Sanitary Dist and spoke with Dave Banks. We learned about the processes they use to improve water quality and remove waste. Touring the facility and seeing the machinery in action helped us understand how everything comes together. On Thursday, we finished editing our interview videos, where I honed my skills in Adobe Premiere Pro and learned more about creating professional, polished videos. On Friday, we met with Dan Vincent, who guided us through our Clifton Strengths results from the assessment we took at the beginning of the semester. We explored more about ourselves and our peers, with my top five themes being Empathy, Relator, Harmony, Communication, and Developer. It was fascinating to learn about my classmates’ strengths, and it was a highly valuable experience overall. Thank you to everyone who hosted us and to those who visited our program. Special thanks to John Omoresemi for providing these incredible opportunities to grow and expand our professional networks. #Learning #Opportunities #SiteVisits #FutureLeaders #NewExperiences #GuestSpeakers #VideoEditing #CliftonStrengths #Adobe #PremierePro #Themes #Sanitary #Engineering #Engineers #CAPS #StCharlesCountyCAPS #LifeLessons #Valuable #Informational
