South East Technological University (SETU) is coordinating AM-Heal, a two-year, €400,000 Erasmus+ partnership designed to strengthen Additive Manufacturing (AM) skills for healthcare and rehabilitation. Working with partners in Spain, Malta, and Ukraine, SETU is leading AM-Heal to develop and deliver a Level 9 Micro-Credential, which will build digital skills and professional competencies at the intersection of AM and rehabilitation. The programme will be delivered through a blended approach, combining online learning via a multilingual e-learning platform with hands-on training in partner facilities. A dedicated 3D printing training hub in Kyiv will also be established to strengthen local capacity and support skills development linked to rehabilitation and recovery. Through the Department of Engineering Technology at SETU's Cork Road Campus, the University will guide the consortium process to define and validate the shared micro-credential specifications in line with European micro-credential principles. Each partner higher-education institution will deliver the micro-credential locally and award it under its own academic regulations and quality assurance procedures, ensuring consistent content while supporting local certification pathways across the consortium. Announcing the project, Principal Investigator of AM-Heal at SETU, David Alarco, explained that AM-Heal will build expertise in design, materials and workflows, equipping learners with the knowledge required to apply AM effectively in rehabilitation contexts. The project will also produce open-access educational materials and research-informed policy recommendations to support safe and ethical adoption of AM in medical education and professional training. "AM-Heal aims to strengthen professional education at the intersection of additive manufacturing and healthcare. Through a shared micro-credential and practical training, we want to support cross-sector collaboration, build capability, and help accelerate the safe, effective use of AM in rehabilitation and clinical education," Mr Alarco said. "This project builds on SETU's additive manufacturing education capacity developed through the HCI-funded AMASE programme (2020–2025), in collaboration with SEAM and Design+ technological gateways. The existing 3D Lab in the Engineering, Technology and Research (ETRC) Centre at SETU's Cork Road Campus in Waterford supports applied learning and project work in advanced manufacturing," he added. The project consortium brings together SETU, PODOGLOBAL (ES), Associació Meraki Projectes de València (ES), Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University (UA), and the University of Malta (MT).

Nations need manufacturing workforces that are competent, empowered, and diverse. Attracting and educating this base – ranging from operators and technicians to technologists and engineers – poses unique challenges and opportunities. Underinvestment in manufacturing education has led to a lack of integration of manufacturing content in higher education curriculum. In many countries, deep disconnects exist between manufacturing and workforce development. Expanding industries such as semiconductors and the submarine industrial base struggle to grow their workforce at a pace to support growth. And at times, manufacturing has struggled to attract young people and develop talent. This webinar will present a new 2025 special issue in SME Manufacturing Letters: Innovations in Manufacturing Education. This issue will provide a platform for findings that advance the frontiers of manufacturing education and workforce development. Topics will include, but are not limited to: innovative manufacturing education in higher education, community colleges, and K-12; learning technologies for manufacturing education and training; and novel approaches to experiential learning and labs. The presentation will include timeline, topics and scope, review process, and Q&A.

Senior Land Development Manager Myles Cardenas with McKinley Homes joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio show to detail his day-to-day as a land development manager, upcoming developments and more! Cardenas joins host Carol Morgan on the All About Real Estate segment and shares how young professionals can get involved within the industry. Celebrating his fourth anniversary with the award-winning company in July, Cardenas has previous experience working for CalAtlantic Homes, starting as an intern during his senior year at Kennesaw State University (KSU). Three to four months after celebrating his graduation, the company announced a significant merger with Lennar Homes, where he continued to partner with the company for two-and-a-half years before joining the McKinley Homes team. While at Lennar, Cardenas gained valuable land development experience for a prominent public builder and built two townhome communities in Druid Hills as a construction manager. Cardenas said, “I had the opportunity to get more land development experience for the largest national builder at the time [as well as] construction and development experience that I've carried into my role here at McKinley.” During his time at KSU, Cardenas had the opportunity to participate in a program that resulted from the merger with Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology. The school featured a construction management program introduced to KSU students as an additional option following the merger. Cardenas wrapped up his time at the university with a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management. Founded in 2008, McKinley Homes has quickly become a well-known name throughout metro Atlanta in the new construction industry. The company began its journey as an investment company, and after constructing a few homes, the company's team decided to bring land development in-house, resulting in the acquisition of Cardenas. Cardenas said, “We do everything from single-family homes to townhomes and some commercial [projects], including apartments, stacked flats…mixed-use projects [and more].” For young professionals entering the industry, Cardenas shared that he's a huge proponent of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA), where he found his start as a part of the National Association of Home Builders chapter at KSU. The organization is one of the biggest supporters at the college level, and Cardenas shared that he highly recommends finding ways to get involved with GAHBA. Cardenas said, “It's one of the biggest and best things that I feel I have been able to nourish that relationship from then to now. I can't believe that relationship started when I was 19 years old…and nine years later it's the strongest it's ever been.” Tune in to the full interview above to learn more about McKinley Homes, or visit www.McKinleyHomes.com.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis described Florida as "where woke goes to die" during a rally Thursday promoting his book at Adventure Outdoor in Smyrna, the Cobb County gun store that was the center of a controversial ATF inspection this week.  The governor used the event to pitch Florida as a state that is flourishing under his leadership, while claiming others led by Democrats are regressing. He also credited his approach to governance, which is not beholden to opinion polling, as the reason for the influx of people in Florida, saying "bold leadership is rewarded." DeSantis spent much of his speech denouncing COVID lockdowns and praised Florida's decision not to follow federal COVID recommendations. He also touched on other topics such as law enforcement, the southern border, and, what he calls, "wokeness." Governor DeSantis has not officially announced his intention to run in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, but many consider him to be the main GOP challenger to former President Donald Trump, who now has his own battles as he was indicted in New York on 34 counts of business fraud on Thursday. The Kell boys basketball season came to an end in the second round of “The Throne,” a 16-team, high school national championship tournament at Morehouse College on Thursday. Cameron Boozer, the Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year, scored 28 points, on 11-of-19 shooting and pulled down nine rebounds, to lead Columbus Florida past the Longhorns 66-53. The Explorers advanced to the tournament semifinals where they will face D.J. Wagner and Camden New Jersey. Kell was led by Peyton Marshall's 15 points and eight rebounds. Cannon Richards and Parrish Johnson each had 11 points. Cayden Boozer finished with 16 points and Malik Abdullahi added 14 points and 11 rebounds for Columbus. USF officially introduced former Kennesaw State coach Amir Abdur-Rahim as the men's basketball coach, in a bid to revitalize the team that has had one winning season since its last NCAA Tournament appearance in 2012. Abdur-Rahim helped transform Kennesaw State into a contender that reached the NCAA tournament this year. He has said that he wants to build his roster with high school talent and will focus on in-state players as well as seeking foreign talent. While Abdur-Rahim utilized the Transfer Portal at KSU, he said he wants to try to build the foundation of his Bulls' program with Florida high school talent.  Abdur-Rahim is also a fan of the USF women's basketball team coach, Jose Fernandez, who just led the Bulls to their 9th NCAA tournament appearance in his 23-year tenure in Tampa.

They discuss why the partnership is essential, and what makes it work as well as it does.Matthew describes how tech influences his brewery. Pierluca explains why Dell Technologies works with small businesses to implement edge technology. Together, they've built a successful project where Dell works at new scales, and Exhibit ‘A' produces high quality beer with higher speed.---------Key Quotes:Matthew:"We can't just start spending money on technology without having a real ROI. This is just a really amazing opportunity for us to look at a lot of these pain points and challenges that we have as a small business and work with edge technology and Dell to really find the sweet spot to make us the most efficient we can be, creating the best products we can, and adding a value to our business."Matthew:"Because we don't fully understand the technology, we rely on Pierluca and his team to share with us what that technology's gonna do for us. I'm not looking for a fit, I'm looking for an add. You know, I want this to improve what we do, not just kind of like status quo. So that's really important for us. And obviously just the straight value that it adds to our small business."Pierluca:"Having the connection with Dell that can scale and can breed the technology to all type of people,  from a small business, like Exhibit A, to large implementation. And so having an ecosystem, and that ecosystem can run in a platform like we are building, then allow you to bring them to multiple people. Not only to the very large one that they can permit themselves to have an army of people coming there and develop their own solution."Pierluca: "That's exactly one of the challenge that we took upon when we decide to go to the edge. And when we decide to go to the edge, not just with the fact that we go in and place the normal compute. It's to understanding, right? And Dell is embarking in this adventure that we start about three years ago with very few people and now we have an entire bu, right, that is looking at this stuff. So what is intriguing is really, that point that,  At the edge, you need to understand how you input the things that someone is doing, right? Their core processes, their outcome. Right? It's all about the outcome."---------Show Timestamps:02:25 How tech fits into the brewing industry 03:22 Measuring the success of implementing edge05:13 Dell's goal with Exhibit A07:19 How small businesses can deploy edge technology10:46 The tech learning curve14:04 Scaling technology for everyone 15:37 Weighing cost vs. ROI17:30 How Matthew manages his cashflow20:17 Dell's shifting business model--------Sponsor:Over the Edge is brought to you by Dell Technologies to unlock the potential of your infrastructure with edge solutions.

Engineering programs today are growing and adapting to the digital transformation that's taking place in the workforce.Michigan State University is a prime example of a school that has listened to its regional employers, tracked technological advances, and is adapting its engineering programs to prepare students for the digital workforce.In this episode, we talk with Dr. Leo Kempel, Dean of MSU's College of Engineering. Big projects are underway at MSU, including the development of the Engineering and Digital Innovation Center and a new Engineering Technology degree.Leo shares incredible insights into how the work of engineers is shifting as digital transformation takes over the workforce - and how education should respond.3 Big Takeaways from this episode:Digital engineering means faster innovation: Digital twins, augmented reality and a digital thread through the design and manufacturing process enables today's engineers to be more creative, more involved and have a tighter design cycle. That means engineers can design, test and deploy new systems faster than ever before, processes can be improved more efficiently, and mass customization at a desirable price-point is now possible.Modern engineering is cross-disciplinary & global: To make industry 4.0 a reality, you need to involve experts from every aspect of the business - design, engineering, production, supply chain, business, marketing, IT and more. The new Engineering and Digital Innovation Center will replicate this kind of cross-disciplinary work. Students from different programs, like engineering, cybersecurity, natural science, business, supply chain management, user experience and arts and computer science, will work on projects together. This experience will give MSU students a huge advantage as they enter a digital, global, and collaborative workforce.Semiconductors are essential to the success of the digital industrial workforce: To power a world driven by smart technology, we need semiconductors and chips. There's been a massive shift of semiconductor manufacturing back to the United States, and MSU is taking part in both the research around semiconductor technology and the training of engineers who will work in the semiconductor industry.ResourcesBook mentioned in this episode: Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical TechnologyTo learn more about Michigan State University's College of Engineering, visit their website: https://www.egr.msu.edu/News:New MSU center to invest in innovation and industryDean Kempel on: Building the Industry 4.0 WorkforceConnect with MSU Engineering:Twitter  |  YouTube  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  |  LinkedInEpisode page: https://techedpodcast.com/msu/Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

In this episode of Over the Edge, Matt Trifiro interviews Matthew Steinberg, co-founder of Exhibit 'A' brewing, and Pierluca Chiodelli,Vice President Engineering Technology & Edge Portfolio Product Management and Customer Operations, Dell TechnologiesMatthew has been brewing beer for almost 20 years. After brewing a wide variety around Massachusetts, including Belgian styles, highly hopped ales, and barrel aged offerings, he founded his own brewery: Exhibit 'A'. Here, he creates his own modern takes on traditional beer styles. Pierluca has been with Dell Technologies since 1999, and is currently VP Engineering Technology & Edge Portfolio Product Manager and Customer Operations. He's responsible for Edge Enterprise Dell Technologies roadmap, and strategic technical partners engagement across Dell Technologies. Matthew and Pierluca represent a partnership between Dell Technologies and Exhibit 'A' brewing to bring edge computing and complex technology to small, locally-owned businesses.In the first segment of this interview, Matthew dives into the details of beer making, from start to finish. He describes how edge technology has helped Exhibit 'A' gather data and monitor processes for a more perfect brewing process, and how it can fix problems and save money (and beer) for the brewery. In segment 2, Pierluca gives his definition of the edge, describes the importance of connectivity in a setting like Matthew's brewery, and explains how Dell Technologies is using this project as an example of their core value of promoting human progress.---------Key Quotes:Matthew Steinberg“The exciting part for me is actually beyond this first project, which is to really dig deep into our pain points as a brewery and what we can do to add to this technology. Not just make better beer, but create better processes, create more consistency, give our staff the tools they need to do these jobs, right? And so it's incredible. Like for a small craft brewery like us, that's like producing you know the equivalent of maybe 70,000 cases a year, to be able to have this technology is ridiculous. I mean, it's kind of a dream.”Pierluca Chiodelli“There is no necessity to have all these different silos because with our experience, we can run multiple things on the same infrastructure. We can manage that infrastructure in different way, but what we are doing is basically also simplify the edge. There is no reason why certain application, they cannot run with other applications. So that's the technology we bring, with the security and with the simplification. So basically, it's democratize the edge and make sure that people can manage from one to thousands of devices with always security in mind and with zero touch capability.”Matthew Steinberg“We have this art that is like my creative outlet for making, conceptualizing a beer. Whether it's the ingredients or the process or even what the label looks like. There's a lot of that art that goes into its. Science is like the yeast doing its thing, the malt being delivered properly, and it's, and I thought about it as like, the great, the art of the beer  relies on the science to do what it's supposed to do. The technology actually allows us  to control it. It allows us to, what was the word I used? Uh, you know, The tech helps us realize and observe the connection between the art and the science.”Matthew Steinberg“So all of this temperature probes and, and controllers and the interface that Dell has installed here is allowing us to study that to just make better beer. I mean, that's literally the simplest way I can put it.  The exciting part for me is actually beyond this first project, which is to really dig deep into our pain points as a brewery and what we can do to add to this technology. Not just make better beer, but create better processes, create more consistency, give our staff the tools they need to do these jobs.”Pierluca ChiodelliOne of the core value of Dell  is really about human progress. It's very humble goal. It's also very difficult to connect you to directly to human progress. Now, when I start to look at the edge, I can say that because it's based on outcome, most of the things that we do are most impactful. Pierluca Chiodelliwe've been selling at the Edge for many years. Uh, about 30 years. But, um, what is new at the edge is the data. Um, so I think, um, If you look at, so the brewer example, there are a lot of data that they've been collected. What is changing from the past is that everything needs to be connected now. What is changing also that the data they are producing at the edge, they need to be accessed at the edgePierluca ChiodelliYou don't have an army of people and so you need to optimize. Optimize is important and have the ability to connect things and access those data immediately is very important. So the shift really why you need more compute, why you need more things at the edge is because the data are there. More data need to be processed there and the edge is different, is outside of the normal data center. So to me, that was the excitement to enter in the space that was not a familiar space, understanding the constraint of that space and understanding what we can do---------Show Timestamps:[03:41] Matthew's entrepreneurial start[07:41] How beer begins[09:55] How beer is made[14:38] The art of balance in beer[17:26] The fermentation process[19:56] Why cans are the best package[23:12] How to store your beer[23:32] How Matthew maintains quality[25:31] What does beer have to do with edge computing?[28:29] How Matthew uses data to solve problems[33:17] Pierluca's start in technology[36:09] Dell and Edge[40:06] The edge is about constraint[41:52] The edge and security[44:29] Helping everyone understand edge[49:08] Dell's goal of advancing progress[53:20] Constraints of the edge[56:40] How Dell and Exhibit A work together--------Sponsor:Over the Edge is brought to you by Dell Technologies to unlock the potential of your infrastructure with edge solutions.

Kennesaw girl celebrates being cancer free

Charlotte Smith was joined by family and friends this month to celebrate being cancer-free after 27 months of treatment. Charlotte was diagnosed with cancer in October 2020, when she was 3. Her mother took her to the doctor after noticing she was tired, not eating much and prone to bruising. Her hemoglobin level was low — 4.9 — so they took her to Children's Scottish Rite Hospital, where she was diagnosed with leukemia. Charlotte was treated at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center. Over the next two years, she had multiple chemotherapy infusions, oral chemotherapy for a year and a half, seven blood transfusions, 18 lumbar punctures and two surgeries. To celebrate being cancer-free, the Smiths threw a large party for their daughter, complete with a face painter and a DJ. During her treatment, Charlotte attended the Center for Early Education at Marietta First Baptist Church, where the Smiths are members. The teachers showed their support by wearing “Charlotte's army,” shirts. Charlotte is the great-granddaughter of Cobb Superior Court Senior Judge Adele Grubbs; Emily Smith is Grubbs' granddaughter. Charlotte's father, Brad Smith, is a business intelligence developer at Children's Healthcare. Emily Smith works as an intensive care nurse at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, and had to take a leave of absence during her daughter's treatment. Charlotte was immunocompromised due to the cancer, and the risk of her working in the hospital was too great. Now, Charlotte is in kindergarten at Kennesaw Elementary. Charlotte has two younger siblings — Olivia, 3, and Cooper, her three-month-old brother. She likes arts and crafts and coloring, and wants to be a nurse like her mother.  It was a big night for Kell guard Crystal Henderson. Her number 30, along with her brother Scoot Henderson's 0, were retired in a ceremony between the girls and boys games against Chattahoochee on Tuesday. She was celebrated for reaching the 2,000 point plateau for her career, and she scored 25 points with seven assists and five steals in the Longhorns' 64-36 Region 6AAAAA victory.  The only thing she didn't get was the ovation during a timeout as she left the court, because she couldn't. Thanks to a short bench because of an illness that was running through the team, Kell only had six healthy players for most of the game and it led to nearly every player playing all 32 minutes. The victory allowed the Longhorns to secure the Number 1 seed for this month's region tournament, but it is something coach Kandra Bailey didn't even want to think about quite yet, because the Horns still have games to play in the regular season. Between their near-century of combined service to Marietta City Schools, Kenneth and Jeanie Carter left an indelible mark on the city's history. But the Carter family has a new memento of its contributions to Marietta, as the Cole Street home of Kenneth Carter's parents was recently recognized as a historic home in one of the city's historically Black neighborhoods. The home's marker was unveiled as part of an ongoing, joint effort between Cobb Landmarks and the Marietta History Center. The program looks to memorialize the most storied homes of the city's Black families in the Baptist Town, Louisville, and Fort Hill neighborhoods, among others. The 1909 Carter house is a worthy member for inclusion. Originally built by Taylor Woods, a Black resident, the house was purchased by Sarah Young and Oscar Carter in 1944. Oscar Carter worked at Marietta's Bell Bomber plant as a custodian during World War II, and later for the city government, while his wife served as head of the Lemon Street PTA and worked as a washer woman, maid, and a nurse in the offices of Marietta physician Dr. Remer Clark. The couple raised four children in the home, which today is the last private house on the block of Cole Street between Lawrence and Lemon streets. While the Marietta Housing Authority bought the properties to the south, and Cole Street Missionary Baptist bought the properties to the north, the Carter family held on to their home. Among their children was Kenneth “Coach” Carter, who purchased the home when his mother died in the 1990s. Coach Carter, who died in 2019, spent nearly half a century as an educator and coach in Marietta City Schools. Residents interested in nominating a site for consideration as a landmark can contact Cobb Landmarks or the Marietta History Center. Two people were shot and injured in south Cobb Tuesday morning, the Cobb County Police Department said. According to police, officers were dispatched around 5:30 a.m. to a home on Main Station Drive off Hurt Road. Antoine McCain of Marietta, stated that he shot Ricky Robinson of Marietta, police said. Both men were suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, according to police. Police and firefighters responded and treated the men, who were both taken to a local hospital. The incident remains an open and active investigation. Anyone with information about it is asked to call police. University officials, alumni and students gathered Monday for the unveiling of Kennesaw State University's renovated Engineering Lab Building, a $5 million project. The 35,000-square-foot facility, known colloquially as the “G Building,” was built in 1962, said KSU President Kathy “Kat” Schwaig — the same year as she was, Schwaig joked — and last renovated in 1984. Schwaig spoke of the importance of students having a space for hands-on, collaborative work in the sciences. The building is part of the school's Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology and is home to a variety of opportunities for students, including different labs, such as for 3D printing and senior projects, a peer-to-peer tutoring program and academic advisers. Barnes & Noble plans to open a new store in the Avenue East Cobb this summer. The bookseller confirmed that it will open a 15,000-square-foot store, using part of the former Bed Bath and Beyond space at the popular shopping center off Roswell Road. The store will have a different feel to the bookstore chain's other locations — a “revamped model replicates the personal touch found in independent bookshops,” in the words of North American Properties, the owner of the Avenue East Cobb. Barnes & Noble's new approach also lets local stores stock a “hand-curated selection” of books tailored to its specific community. The store will feature “modern fixtures and furniture, an updated paint scheme, cozy book rooms, and an in-store café,” NAP said, and sell gifts, vinyl records, toys, games and puzzles. The east Cobb store is one of 30 that Barnes & Noble plans to open this year, using that new model. The company did not provide a specific opening date. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com          See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In conversation with FourBlock Founder Mike Abrams, Eric discusses his time in the Navy, sharing why he joined, how it changed the trajectory of his career, and the leadership skills he gained during his service. He takes us through his transition to the business world, his move to the Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, and how he worked his way to where he is today. Throughout the episode, Eric provides invaluable insights on leadership and building trust, sharing his personal experience from his time in service military and his successful career. To close out the episode, Mike asks Eric what advice he has for transitioning service members as well as any veterans looking to start a career in the AEC space. Eric Quinn leads KMI as the company's CEO. His leadership career began at an early age while he attended the U.S. Naval Academy and served his country as a Lieutenant in the Navy, learning quickly the importance of having the right team in place to accomplish the mission. His focus is on having the best people, processes, and organizational structure in place to deliver the highest quality of services for KMI's clients. Eric will tell you that one of his primary focuses is maximizing the potential in people he leads to ensure KMI is a distinct company with a stellar reputation, thus becoming the most sought-after employer in the industry. Eric held leadership positions in several organizations, including Procter & Gamble, ES3, and President of GBI Tile and Stone, before coming to KMI to serve as the company's COO, later being promoted to CEO.

EPISODE SUMMARYDo you know the difference between engineering science and engineering technology? Are you aware of the variety of majors and careers available in these fields? What kind of GPA is required to qualify for these often competitive programs? Dr. Matt Franchetti joins the podcast to answer these questions for us and more, as he shares his insight and experience as Associate Dean of the Engineering College at the University of Toledo.EPISODE NOTESIf you have a teen who loves math and has an aptitude for it, chances are they may be considering engineering as a possible major. And while students may be familiar with this field, I've found most parents often don't know much about a similar field, engineering TECHNOLOGY which is different than engineering (science). That's why I invited Dr. Franchetti to help us understand some of the ins and outs of engineering education and careers so that your teen can be better equipped to make good decisions about their future.Dr. Franchetti serves as the Associate Dean of the Engineering College at the University of Toledo, where they take a more open, collaborative approach to admission into the program. We spend quite a bit of time discussing the differences between this model as well as the more competitive approach taken by many colleges. The traditional selective model can work well for students with a high school GPA and ACT or SAT score that fits stringent criteria, who know exactly what they want and how to get there. But this model isn't ideal for students who may be undecided as to which field of engineering or engineering technology they want to pursue, or whose GPA and test scores don't meet the higher standards standards.Often, colleges will not tell you which model they follow if you ask them outright, so it's important to ask the right questions when looking into admissions to engineering or engineering technology programs. Matt has some great tips on what to look for and which questions to ask. I believe that there is a place for every student, it's just a matter of finding that program that will be the right fit for yours, if engineering is aligned with their wiring.I always encourage students with an interest in STEM to consider engineering & engineering technology as a possible fields, so I've included some resources below to dive into with more information on available programs and careers, as well as some great engineering colleges to visit, either online or in person. Highlights The differences between studying engineering and engineering technologyQuestions to ask of engineering college programs to find your fitHow selective, non-selective, and pre-engineering programs workCareers in both engineering and engineering technologyTips for students to be successful in an engineering programMeet Our GuestDr. Franchetti is a Professor and the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies for the College ofIn September, I'm hosting my complimentary parent masterclass, four common mistakes to avoid when choosing a college major.
