- M.E.
for Me! Conference
Have you ever wondered what exactly a mechanical engineer does in industry?
What projects he or she may be responsible for? Whether international travel is
a possibility? To answer these common questions and
shed light on the working
engineering world, plan to attend the ME for Me Conference on February 10, 2007!
Engineers from seven companies and a
representative from Engineering Career Services will discuss
the various career paths and choices
available to mechanical engineers. In addition to industry
exposure, students will also receive
a participation gift, lunch, and a
chance to win one of several prizes. Registration is required and
free – but hurry! Signup at http://asme.ec.uiuc.edu/MEforMe/signup.php

February 5, 2007.
For more information, please contact Xingyuan Wang at xwang22@uiuc.edu.
