Engineering Career Night is a great opportunity for students to meet with recent graduates and experts in the engineering field to learn about their education, work, career, and their experience.
This year, we invited Tanya Parrag, a chemical engineer, Kim von Eicken, a civil engineer, Darian Petrisca, an environmental engineer, Hilbert Li, a manufacturing engineer, and James Edgar, an algorithm engineer.
The students learned about how engineering prepared them for lifelong learning and adaptability, opened new possibilities and prepared them to tackle big challenges. They shared their insight on what the engineering field would look like in the future and the fruits of their labour. Lastly, they also gave insight on opportunities that could be taken and the practical benefits of different programs.
“Engineering Career Night was a good experience, and it was inspiring to see people who were also interested in robotics.” – Macy Glick, Grade 9
