9th Annual ECE Night
9th Annual ECE Night
Alumni career advice Q&A
Moderated by Prof. Bradley Clymer, the EE/ECE Alumni Society invites students to the 9th Annual ECE Night, Wednesday, Feb. 1 from 5:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in Dreese Labs Rm. 260.
This is an informative, casual event, with a panel discussion from ECE alumni about a vast range of possible careers (you'd be surprised!). Speakers also delve into the importance of co-ops and internships, the positive roles of electrical and computer engineers in the world, as well as the networking benefits with alumni. Pizza and drinks are available starting at 5:45 p.m.
This event is most beneficial to:
• PRE-ECE majors
• First-year ECE Majors.
