Professional Development Workshops

Date: Saturday, September 29, 2012
Place: University of Puerto Rico – Mayaguez Campus, Mayaguez, PR
Time:  8:00 AM — 4:00 PM
Fee: Free of charge

 

Event Description:

The Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is a series of events where students from the UPRM campus come to learn and develop their skills as professional. The workshops will be provided by Job Fair companies in the areas of professional development. We will have students from all major STEM fields, mostly computer and electrical engineering students. Students will have intense resuming workshops, interview development and networking workshops during the day. Companies will have a chance to scout for top talent in our campus and interact without the job fair rush.

IEEE-USA Online Engineering Video Competition

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

IEEE-USA Online Engineering Video Competition for College Students

IEEE-USA is challenging U.S. college students to create YouTube videos that reinforce for an 11-to-13-year-old “tweener” audience “How Engineers Make a World of Difference.” The organization is seeking to tap the enthusiasm of U.S. college students to spark younger students’ creativity and ingenuity and to inspire their interest in learning about engineering. IEEE-USA also seeks to expand broader public understanding of engineering through the wide dissemination of these videos. The competition deadline is 27 January 2012. More information and guidelines are available.
