Fourth Young Engineers Satellite forum to be broadcast March 28

A changing political landscape, the rise of the stock market, the fall of the stock market — all lead to questions about what is happening with the economy and, more importantly, how will it affect your job as an engineer? Or, your next job?

The next Young Engineers Satellite broadcast will offer some perspective for answering job-market-related questions. The forum will be broadcast March 28, from noon to 1:30 p.m. EST.

The topics for discussion will be: Keeping Up with Technical Information after Graduation, Expectations of the Professional World, Networking Skills, and Job Search Skills.

Stacey Swisher-Harnetty, chair of ASME's Board on Student Affairs, will be the moderator.

Panelists will include Scott Blair, past chair of IEEE's Regional Activities Board's Graduates of the Last Decade committee, and Glenda Harris, who is active in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' mentoring program and a process engineer with Mallinckrodt Baker Inc.

The last panelist will be an engineer with recruiting experience from an international engineering company.

The Satellite Forum will include time for phone-in questions to the panelists. If you already have those questions, you may e-mail them to either Robin Jacobs (jacobsr@asme.org) or Kathy J. Warner (warnerk@asme.org) and they will try to answer them in the planned remarks. Some toll-free numbers will be available to call in the questions during the broadcast.

For those groups that order their downlink before Feb. 16 the price will be $170 for ASME members and $270 for nonmembers. Following Feb. 16, the downlink price will increase to $195 for ASME members and $295 for nonmembers.
