1.         General meeting with Northrop-Grumman

 

Date: Tuesday, February 5, 2008

Time: 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM

Location: 1320 DCL

 

Come attend an information meeting with Northrop-Grumman, a leader in the defense sector, and enjoy free dinner! Topics will include engineering coursework and its relevance to an engineer in industry, career advancement, and job opportunities available at Northrop-Grumman. This event occurs during the same week as Spring EXPO, so take advantage of this opportunity to get ready by asking plenty of questions!

 

2.         EOH Committee Meeting

 

Date: Wednesday, February 7th

Time: 7 PM

Location: 135 MEB

 

We are hosting three different exhibits this year for EOH. The first is a resurrection of last year's penny smasher that will punch a Block I into aluminum disks using a machined die and vice. The second is an interactive exhibit of a hydraulic dump truck that will simulate how a truck bed is lifted, and the third is an exhibit about distracted driving that will feature computer simulations requiring participants' attention for both simulated driving and an alternate task.

We will be having weekly EOH meetings for anyone interested in getting involved every Wednesday at 7 PM starting.

 

3.         ME for Me Conference

Date: Saturday February 9th, 2008

Time: 10 AM – 4 PM

Location: 2005, 2009 MEL


Come out to an all day event focusing on the various career paths available for mechanical engineers. Representatives from Caterpillar, GE, Rolls Royce, Ingersoll Machine Tools Inc., and Shell will present and be available for questions. The event includes lunch catered by Panera and a raffle at the end of the day. The timing is perfect for those looking for jobs and internships, as it falls on the weekend between two career fairs. It is also a good way for students new to engineering to learn about career opportunities.

Motorola pioneered the realm of smaller cell phones with its Razr (R) -- perhaps one of the best-known cell phones on the market today. Come to this informational seminar as Motorola discusses internship opportunities, international experiences, and more! As always, dinner's on us.
