IDAG x AAMA Took Our Kings To The Lawrence Hall Of Science at CAL. They Were Exposed To Paid STEM Internship Opportunities This Summer, Attended A Berkeley Lab Application Workshop, and Watched A Black History Presentation, Took A Tour Of The Bio Lab, & Conversed With A Professional Scientist. Furthermore, We Had a Very Interesting Discussion on Grid Balancing, Decarbonization and Climate Adaption. #UCBerkeley#Laboratory#DJI#STEM#Education#Exposure#Drone#Technology#AAMA#IDAG#OHS#OUSD#Science#Student#Development#WorkBasedLearning#Grid#Balancing#Decarbonization#GlobalWarming#ClimateAdaptation#Energy#FlexLab

Super grateful to be appreciated on my project on piezoelectric materials by someone as well-versed with this space as Sumaya K.! To answer your question, about which even I contemplate very often, I think its the deep technical/scientific knowledge that is necessary, regardless of the medium through which one acquires it. High-quality information has become super accessible. I can read research papers of world-class standard on material science online, and can learn concepts I don't understand as and when I get stuck. And more importantly, just performing experiments teaches so much! Absorbing scientific information is way easier when you actually do it yourself. Would love to hear others' take on this too!

"The company was sold out from underneath him [Ardelle Glaze, founder of Fort Wayne Metals] two different times, and it actually was shut down in the late 60s." Fascinating presentation by Jeremy Rohrs of Fort Wayne Metals, a leading material science and technology company. Some key takeaways: Company History: Fort Wayne Metals was founded in 1946 by Ardell Glaze, who couldn't pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. He pivoted to research and innovation, earning multiple patents that revolutionized the medical device industry. Despite facing challenges like being sold out from under him and the company being shut down, Ardell's son, Scott Glaze, carried on his father's vision and values. Core Values: As Jeremy shared, "We believe in doing the things the right way. We have a very long term focus. So we want to invest in our people. We want to invest in our community." Ardell instilled this focus on people, community, and long-term thinking, which Fort Wayne Metals continues to embody. Community Engagement & Philanthropy: The company built a facility in southeast Fort Wayne specifically to create jobs and drive diversity in that underserved community. Located on a bus line to improve accessibility, this facility has successfully increased the company's percentage of non-white employees by 5 points. Fort Wayne Metals also has a robust internship program to develop future talent, and their environmental stewardship, including solar panels on their HQ, reflects their holistic commitment to sustainability. An inspiring example of a company that balances business success with a strong social conscience. Kudos to the Fort Wayne Metals team!

The PACE program is offered at MILLER CAREER & TECHNOLOGY CENTER in the Katy Independent School District. The acronym stands for Professional Advancement through Career Education. PACE is a competitive course offered to graduating seniors only, which has gained popularity over the last few years. PACE students must have a GPA of 3.8 or higher to apply – in other words, high achievers drawing the top students from across the district. During the present 2023 – 2024 school year, R.G. Miller | DCCM partnered with PACE, by providing a 17-week internship for graduating senior Nicholas Ding. Nicholas, a student at Seven Lakes High School worked with various members of our engineering teams under the guidance of R.G. Miller’s President, Mark Gehringer, PE, Chief Executive Officer, Jack Miller, P.E., and Vice President of Development Operations, Caleb Stone. It was an ideal partnership as Nicholas learned first-hand about the industry and multitude of projects currently under development in and around the Houston metropolitan area. Being guided by several of our industry’s most knowledgeable mentors, Nicholas gained hands-on experience in a professional workplace environment, attended learning sessions, participated in daily team meetings, and earned honors credit with PACE. Nicholas plans to attend Texas A&M University in the fall with an engineering major. #RGMiller #DCCM #DesignDevelopGrow #sevenlakeshighschool #paceprogram #katyisd #ATM #CivilEngineering #LandDevelopment #SiteDevelopment #Engineering #Development #Engineers #PublicWorks #Sustainability #Hydrology #Transportation #GIS #WaterResources #Water #Wastewater #WaterInfrastructure

Week 5 of the F1L Internship Emulator has been postponed by a week so that participants can catch up on Week 4 work. So instead I present to you a brain twister: A farmer needs to get a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage across a river. He has a boat, but he can only take one item across the river at a time. If left alone, the wolf will eat the goat, and the goat will eat the cabbage. How does the farmer get all three across the river safely? #f1l #compbio #computationalbiology

Have you heard about STEAM Ahead? If not, the Northern Lakes Economic Symposium and Showcase is a great opportunity to learn about what this program has to offer. STEAM Ahead was created by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation as a rebrand of its successful program "STEM Forward". This rebrand broadens the type of internships that are eligible for the program's financial support. STEAM Ahead provides businesses with thousands of dollars to help pay interns doing quality work. This support helps businesses meet their immediate talent needs while building a pipeline of future employees. Avazeh Attari will be a speaker at the Northern Lakes Economic Symposium and Showcase, where she will share more about this program and its potential impact on our region.
