JUNE ISSUE: Texas A&M University and the Wm Michael Barnes ’64 Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering invites you to learn more about their top-ranked online graduate programs which were ranked #6 among public universities according to U.S. News & World Report. The Master of Engineering in industrial engineering is a practice-oriented, non-thesis master’s program for working professionals.  The Master of Science in engineering management is a 30-credit non-thesis master’s program that prepares engineers for careers in the management of engineering in technical organizations and systems.   To find out more, please visit: tx.ag/GraduatePrograms   #industrialengineer #engineeringmanagement #datascience #university #operationsresearch

In university we deserve an entire course called "Career Engineering" which outlines all the techniques to grow as a professional and to treat your career as an engineering and design challenge. And yes, it should be mandatory.

U.S. News & World Report has once again ranked our graduate program as one of the nation's best! The ISE program was recently ranked No. 23 among the 2024 Best Public Graduate Programs. U.S. News and World Report, which ranks graduate programs nationally each spring, designated Auburn Engineering No. 31 among public institutions when its annual list was released in June. Auburn Engineering’s graduate programs continued its upward trajectory in the annual rankings among public institutions, climbing 10 spots in the past five years. Auburn Engineering’s graduate programs were ranked No. 5 overall in the Southeastern Conference and, again, No. 1 in the state. #Auburn #EngineeringExcellence

Thinking about grad school? I am a proud member of the UST School of Engineering alumni, and now faculty in the Graduate Programs in Software and Data Science. There are some great programs here if further education is something you're thinking about. I'm glad I did! Check out the post below and join an upcoming info session to learn more!

🎉 The graduate programs in the nation’s only joint engineering college are among the best in Florida and the nation, according to the latest rankings published in the U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 edition of “Best Graduate Schools.” The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering moved up one spot among public institutions with a No. 60 ranking nationally and tied for third overall among Florida public universities. https://lnkd.in/gDaBa9nR

Thrilled to have successfully completed the 'Essentials of Engineering Studies' add-on course from St. Joseph’s College of Engineering and Technology, Palai, in association with the Center for Continuing Education and Skill Development. Excited to apply these new skills and knowledge in my professional journey. Grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow. #ContinuousLearning #Engineering #SkillsDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth"

Hi all, Recently, I was selected as an Arkwright Scholar, and am thrilled to let you all know about this. The application process started around December, when I had to describe my engineering interests and talk about an engineering project that I was working towards. I chose my GCSE DT project, though at the time it was unfinished, and I was scared that it was not a good project whatsoever to submit (considering that I was just prototyping at that point) but still decided to apply and give it a shot. Then came the exam round, made easier by the fact that I was studying GCSE DT, in preparing for the exam round, I learnt a lot about engineering and electronics, and the design challenge questions which the exam consisted of were really fun and interesting to tackle, and made me apply all of the new and interesting information I had acquired throughout my preparation. The final round was the interview round, and this was where I really could show my interests in engineering, I had to deliver a short presentation on my project, and by now it was finished, and I was able to show to the interviewers how I iterated through the design process and how I wanted to further improve it in the future. At the end of this rigorous selection process, I am very grateful to everyone who helped me along this process, and am looking forward to furthering my interests in engineering.

What Willy Bolander, Ph.D. Says is so true. At the Department of Engineering Technology & Industrial Distribution at Texas A&M University capstone presentations, I saw students making sales teams more efficient, customer experience improvements, specific supply chain processes more efficient, leadership communication processes work to change culture and to the tune of millions of dollars of savings or revenue depending on the problem. If you’re not recruiting here, channel the Julia Roberts Pretty Woman scene where she points out that while the salesperson is dependent on sales, she took a hard pass on what could have been her biggest sale. It definitely would have put her over her numbers on the day, week, month, year? What problem solutions are you taking a hard pass on solving? Why? What’s holding you back? Business is a complex system. Let those trained to tackle complex systems deliver the results you need! #technicalsales #smartenough4engineering #savvyenoughsorsales

Louisiana State University of Alexandria (LSUA) is pioneering an innovative approach to addressing the national engineering talent shortage by partnering with Louisiana State University. The increase in demand for engineers, a challenge underscored by recent research from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), is marked by a stark gap between the burgeoning demand for skilled engineers and the slower influx of new professionals into the market. With nearly one in three engineering roles projected to remain unfilled annually through at least 2030, the urgency to bridge this gap is palpable. In light of the engineering talent shortage, LSUA’s approach is both progressive and timely. This strategic collaboration provides a seamless educational pathway for students interested in engineering, beginning with foundational courses at LSUA and culminating in specialized studies at LSU. Through this partnership, students can earn an Associate of Science at LSUA before transferring to LSU for a Bachelor of Science in fields such as Chemical, Civil, Computer Science, Electrical, and Industrial Engineering. LSUA's approach to mitigating this shortage is multi-faceted, focusing on aligning its engineering programs with industry needs, fostering a diverse and inclusive talent pipeline, and providing students with access to cutting-edge technologies and real-world challenges. By updating its curriculum, LSUA ensures that students are not only equipped with the necessary technical skills but also with the soft skills and cross-disciplinary expertise essential for the evolving landscape of engineering. The program is designed to foster academic success through structured coursework and advising, preparing students to meet the growing demands of the engineering sector. This initiative not only keeps talented individuals within the state but also contributes to the larger effort to close the critical gap between the supply and demand of skilled engineers in the U.S. and globally. Partnerships with industries play a pivotal role in this strategy, offering students hands-on experience and exposure to real-world applications of their studies. These collaborations are crucial for translating academic learning into practical skills, thereby enhancing the employability of LSUA graduates. Roy O. Martin, III,  President, CEO, and CFO of RoyOMartin, and host of the MOU signing event, noted his eagerness to hire engineers with both associate and bachelor’s degrees. As a graduate of LSU and a financial supporter of both LSU and LSUA, Roy expressed his joy in knowing that the System is finding ways to work together to provide educational opportunities across the state to meet critical workforce needs. #lsu #lsua #engineering #engineer
