Our Engineering Panel ROCKED - Don't take our word for it, check out the video!
|
The 30 students who attended our April 10, 2014 event were totally engaged, sensing right away that our eight panelists had valuable advice. (continued below)
Don't miss a single word (of wisdom)!
Our panelists were not "miked" (sigh), so we strongly recommend that you wear headphones for this presentation. |
This is a one-hour video.
It is YouTube-based, so please don't click on any funky ads that pop up...we are not responsible for those things! |

Engineering Panel ROCKED (continued) With competent direction from moderator Jonathan Chia, AP Physics and Pre-Engineering teacher at Glen Rock High School, the panel talked about unique experiences and projects, schools, optimism about employment, salary ranges, travel, required skills, and the rigors (and future returns on investment) of college. Given the positive response, we plan to sponsor more career education panels this fall in industries that have upward hiring trends. A big THANK YOU to our participants (see photo), Mr. Chia, our fantastic moderator, and Jim Warren, audio visual technician, for sharing your knowledge and dedication. This was a valuable resource, said Patti McHugh, a parent who attended. "With no Engineering experience on how to guide my child (a Junior at Ramapo majoring in Physics with a minor in Computers), I found this most helpful." |
