Sam is a fourth-year University of Waterloo Faculty of Engineering student. In his blog, he explains how he arranged his own job in California and highlights the importance of making the right connections on co–op. "Communicate your value. Everyone has skills; everyone can uniquely contribute to the team they're applying for. You just need to be able to show your value."

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.

As the newest, aspiring engineers of the Class of 2028 begin their next chapter this Fall, I wanted to give my network the chance to reflect back on that moment in life whether that time had been 4 years, 8 years, or 20 years ago! Let’s celebrate our past while supporting the bright future of engineering💡✨ What memories do you cherish from your time in school? Read the ASCE article below, and learn about this generation's excitement toward being an engineering student in 2024:

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"

Chronicles of a graduate engineer serving his father land 1.0 . Back in 2019, as a 300-level student, I stumbled upon a newsflash "Buhari signs bill preventing NYSC from posting engineering graduates to schools". This assured me that my NYSC wouldn't be in a classroom as I craved the grind of an engineering firm or a bustling manufacturing company. Fast forward to August 2023, post-camp and NYSC placement was a battlefield. Despite reaching out online and offline, it took me over full month and a lucky encounter with a kind professional on LinkedIn to secure my current position. But here's the twist: stepping into the field was like entering a whole new world. The textbook theories and formulas felt far removed from the practical realities of my work. What exactly did I discover? Tune in next week for the story of my classroom-to-field adventure! I'll delve into the unexpected lessons, challenges, and maybe even some hidden gems I unearthed along the way. In the meantime, I'd love to hear from you! Have you faced similar differences between academic and practical experiences? What advice would you give to a recent engineering graduate Looking to serve their father land? Let's keep the conversation going! #linkedinjourney #engineergrowth #careerbeginings

This year, The University of Tennessee has initiated two programs that help to bolster the ranks non-research technical professionals in recognition of the need for a workforce that is trained in the operational aspects of STEM fields. Back in February of this year, the Board of Trustees voted to allow the university to create a Department of Applied Engineering and Technology within the Tickle College of Engineering. This new department will emphasize applied experience and hands-on training over theory and research skills. https://lnkd.in/eaxz68aX The university has also approved creation of a Doctor of Engineering degree program within the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. The DEng is similar to a PhD with the notable difference that DEng candidates spend their final semesters completing a practical application capstone project in lieu of a research-based dissertation (application vs. theory). https://lnkd.in/ex8inY32 For those outside of academia, the distinction may seem trivial, but operational skills tend to be very different from research skills. It is also exceptionally rare for a major research institution to commit resources to the development and maintenance of programs that will not attract large-dollar research grants.
