College Engineering Students Share Your Experience!

I recently read an inspirational article entitled, “Are You a Mentor? An Open Letter to All Engineers” by Ben Matthews.  Ben defines a mentor as “someone who takes personal responsibility for the success of someone else.”  Ben challenges engineers to not only help younger engineers but also better themselves through the mentoring process.  He also makes some recommendations to younger engineers, one being learn how to write, whether you like it or not! 

In the spirit of this article I have decided to ask college students studying engineering to write a brief article for this blog describing their college engineering experience and posing some questions that they have about engineering careers.

I thought this would give students a chance to get some real career advice from engineers out there in the industry while at the same time give engineers the opportunity to mentor someone (even though it is via blogging comments).

If you know a college student that is interested, please e-mail me at fasanoaj@hotmail.com.  I plan on having one of these posts per month for the next 3 or 4 months.   It will be a great opportunity to pass along knowledge of the engineering profession to future engineers!
