MSU College of Engineering Virtual Career Fair

Just in case you haven't seen this elsewhere, the emails from the Center all end up in your Clutter folder, never to be seen again, I'm going to share this with you here.

- Dr. Masten

The College's first virtual career fair kicks off in 21 days! But, did you know that you can start scheduling 1:1 with employers TODAY! That’s right, Handshakes new virtual platform allows you to create your schedule for the event ahead of time! There are capacity limits for the information sessions so you should definitely RSVP NOW if its a company you are really interested in.

***Keep checking back for 1:1 availability and new sessions as many employers are still entering sessions/schedules***

HOW DOES A VIRTUAL CAREER FAIR WORK?

Head over to the fair you are interested in attending (links below) and Register to Attend. From there you will be able to search the list of attending employers and starting signing up for sessions and 1:1 schedules!

What's a session: Think of a session as an information session. The company will likely be giving a presentation about their company and available positions. This is a good way to learn more about a company! Sessions are 30 minutes and you will be joined by other students.

What is a 1:1: This is a meeting with an individual representative. The chat is only 10 minutes, so it's not an interview. Just a chance to have a direct conversations with someone at the organization.

1. Click the Available Sessions tab in the upper-left of the page, below the fair title and date/time. (Tip: You can use the filters on this page to narrow down the displayed list of employers!)

2. When you locate an employer that you'd like to sign up for a session or 1:1 with, look for the information to appear below the employer name and description.

3. Click on the name of the session or 1:1 you'd like to sign up for. (Your profile privacy may need to be adjusted in order to sign up for sessions.)

Here are some additional resources to help you prepare and learn how to sign up! Plus check out this video that let's you preview the experience!

Happy Saturday! I hope all of you are staying well.  We now have less than one month left of classes! On Monday we will take a break from regular lecture and do a group activity.  As such, Monday's lecture will not be recorded. On Wednesday we will start a unit on ion exchange. Following that we'll look briefly at absorption and then membrane processes. We'll finish with residual management. Now here is a photo from the absolute coolest plant I've ever toured. The Henriksdal Wastewater Treatment Plant is in Stockholm, Sweden and it is build within a mountain. Yes, totally carved out into a mountain. The workers use bicycles to get around the tunnels (which are about 9 km long). Just a few reminders for the next two weeks: Sunday 11/15: Participation Question is due at 11:59 pm Monday 11/16: Office hours 4-5 pm (I added a link to the Zoom meeting in the main folder on LON-CAPA). Tuesday 11/17 10:30-11:30 am : Danielle Yoon, Fishbeck Engineers: Financing Water and Was...

Happy Sunday, Well we don't have a blue sky today, but at least it isn't raining (now)! As we move into several units (sedimentation and granular media filtration) that are based on fluid mechanics, I thought I'd give you this bit of information I gleaned this morning from colleagues on Twitter and how prairie dog burrows are better ventilated than most classrooms . Wind-induced ventilation of the burrow of the prairie-dog, Cynomys ludovicianus From: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00694136 We will continue the unit on sedimentation this week. I posted a handout in the Lecture (powerpoint) folder on LON-CAPA. We'll work through this problem either Monday or Wednesday. On Tuesday, Paul Larios, MSU CEE alum will speak to us during the tutorial.  We'll start his lecture at 10:30 am.  He will speak about Water Resources Engineering in the Hudson Valley, NY. and will discuss four recent WTP/WWTP jobs he has worked on. Two involve the use of NYC water supply...
