Engineering students were given a chance to explore their career options recently as engineers from NASA and other companies visited campus to network with students.
The College of Engineering and the Capstone Engineering Society hosted NASA representatives and industry partners on campus Nov. 2-3 for the second annual NASA Days at UA.
The event was designed to connect professional engineers with engineering students through panel discussions, technical sessions, a networking social and career fair.
“It’s definitely to inspire the students to want to pursue a career in science, technology, mathematics, but also, to really encourage them that they can do it.” — NASA Marshall Space Flight Center deputy director and COE alumna Jody Singer
A career fair and student project exhibit were set up on Shelby Quad throughout the event.
The industry partners and students project groups shared information on their work.
In addition to NASA, 13 industry partners sent representatives to participate. Many of those representatives are UA COE alumni.
