Katie Brinker former CNDE graduate student, currently Senior Nondestructive Evaluation Engineer at Pratt & Whitney, will be speaking at the IEEE HKN event on the “Realities of a Research Engineer” panel. This panel is focused on making the transition from being a graduate student to working in industry and what it’s like to have an industry career. The IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society will also have a panelist in the “Level Up – Leverage your IEEE Technical Society Membership to Advance your Career” panel.
Pathways to Industry is a 3-day online conference geared towards students and young professionals. There are technical talks, professional development sessions, a recruitment fair (which includes both companies and graduate schools), and networking sessions. The conference is open to everyone, not just HKN or IEEE members, and registration will open up at the start of the conference on February 21.
