If you are interested in being a mentor for a night for college students, the Puget Sound Engineering Council (PSEC) needs your help! The purpose of the mentor night is to bring as many practicing engineers together with as many students as possible. We are trying to inspire the students, most of whom are sophomores or juniors, toward a career in engineering. The mentoring allows engineers to explain their experiences in the profession and answer questions posed by students. Here’s the agenda for this year’s event:
6:00 pm Welcome & Introductions
6:05 pm Panel Discussion (selected mentors will answer questions after a brief presentation on a special topic about their engineering careers)
6:40 pm Break – Food
7:00 pm Break-Out Sessions (three 20 minute sessions involving all mentors)
8:10 pm Conclusion & Wrap-Up
The panel discussion will be comprised of four professionals from various organizations, disciplines, years of experience, and diversity.
Students will be able to ask general questions about engineering to any of the panelists. Mentors are welcome to come early to hear the panel. Break-out sessions allow for one-on-one mentoring of students. Students rotate between mentors and tables to get a broad overview of answers to their questions.
Please sign up online by October 19th.
Maps and further instruction will be sent out prior to the event.
