Engineers Meet:  Education in China and the United States

On Wednesday, June 13, 2007, the NJ Section Professional Activities Committee and Graduates of the Last Decade will host a meeting to discuss Professional Activities for Engineers.  Our subject will be “Education in China and the United States.”  Our guest speaker will be a surprise.

About the Meeting

The discussion will be about education in China and the United States.  We might even make a comparison.  Surely we will discuss the recruiting efforts of American colleges in foreign countries, the promises, results and how it affects the foreign student.  Are the promises ever kept?

The meeting will be relatively informal with time for open discussion.  All are encouraged to attend and invite your associates.

About the Speaker

If you wish to meet the speaker you will just have to come to the meeting.

Our guest speaker will be a young women engineer with a BSEE from Beijing, China, a MSEE and an MSME from one of the local state colleges.  She is going to share her experiences with those of our Section.

All Welcome!

Members and students from other professional societies and engineering disciplines are always welcome.  We now include members from IEEE, ASME and AEA.  For more information about these groups see:
