Tuesday, May 31, at 2:30 in SM-116
Although this is not an "official" Engineering Club meeting because it is summer, you are all invited to attend a presentation by several TCC alumni who are now at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.
The main presentation will be about the design and construction of a concrete canoe by a team of civil engineers, but they and their friends studying other fields of engineering will also talk in general about what is needed to succeed after transferring from TCC to FSU or FAMU.
The presentation will be informal, so I think those of you with work or class conflicts could still show up at 3:30 and ask questions.
Background Info:
Two TCC alumni were part of a team that participated in the national "concrete canoe" competition last spring. Among other things, they will be bringing a mockup showing how the canoe was designed and samples of the extremely lightweight concrete they designed.
The presentation is in the SM116 classroom at 2:30 pm on Tuesday, May 31. I expect their presentation will last about an hour, but they say it will continue informally as long as there are questions. The only constraint is that we have to clean up and leave before a 5:00 class uses that room.
Although the team is made up of civil engineers, they are planning to have friends from mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering present next Tuesday to provide a broader perspective on the skills needed to survive and become an engineer.
