Group Question & Answer

11:30am - 12:00pm

Here, you will have an opportunity to ask questions to a panel of engineers. Speakers will be grouped together by similarity in major. Questions can include anything, so please come with many questions. Examples: follow-up questions to the previous session, career possibilities, research opportunities, graduate school, what is industry looking for?, what did you choose engineering?, what are some of the global challenges where engineers are needed?, what are the "hot" fields?, what is the difference between this major and that major?, any advice that alumni can give to incoming students?, what is your favorite part of your job?, etc.
