Please join the College of Engineering, Cal Poly SAE alumnus Rick “CJ” Sturckow (ME ’84), and alumnus Matt Steensma (IE ’19), virtually on Thursday, May 14 at 7 p.m. as Sturckow and Steensma discuss their experiences on the importance of project work as part of an engineering education.
Their discussion will focus on the many fine clubs and internship opportunities available, which build on classroom knowledge and provide real-world training in the art of taking a project from the concept phase to full mission accomplishment. They will show students who participate in these projects will be far better prepared to enter the workforce as engineers.
Preregistration through the following link is required.
