Workshop on Graduate School Application and Procedures

ME S-STEM Scholarship Program hosted a workshop on graduate school application.  Dr. Chuck Eggleton gave a presentation and led the discussion.  This workshop aims at ME undergraduate students in their early stages at UMBC to consider graduate school in their career.  Dr. Eggleton assure students that most of the graduate school expenses are covered by the employer, lab researcher grants, department teaching assistant opportunity, or graduate student fellowship from federal government.  Dr. Eggleton and Dr. Topoleski answered many questions students asked. One of the UMBC alumni, Mr. Yared Amanuel, shared his experience of working at Naval Sea Systems Command -- Carderock Division, while pursuing his PhD at umbc. We thank Ms. Diane Ghorayeb, for coordinating the event and the ME department for providing the lunch.  Although the event ended before 1 pm, several scholars and ME faculty stayed to continue to discuss topics related to their academic experience and career in the future.
