Students in Engineering Technology Professor Wayne Whitfield's Engineering Design & Fabrication I course run through various pieces of equipment so they are prepared to instruct others on how to use each one. This course studies mass production theory, systems and procedures in metalworking which includes engineering design and leads to prototype development.  

The Visionaries in Engineering and Technology Speaker Series will welcome Irmgard Buder, PhD., professor for renewable energy and electro mobility and head of the
 degree program in environment and energy at the University of Applied Sciences Rhine-Waal in Kleve, Germany. Dr. Buder will discussed what options exist for energy storage, latest developments, as well as bottlenecks.

This morning, the Career Services and Advising Center and the Engineering Technology Department held a Lunch & Learn Engineering Technology Employer Roundtable event. Representatives from AIS Inc., FM Global, Gorman Richardson Lewis Architects (GRLA), and Walsh Brothers were on hand to network with students in Conlon Hall. Networking events serve as an excellent opportunity for our students to connect with potential employers, learn about different career paths, and gain valuable insights into the current job market. 

Both faculty and students got a chance to learn from, and ask questions of Scott Richardson, AIA, LEEP AP, Principal, Co-Founder of Gorman Richardson Lewis Architects (GRLA) as part of the  Engineering Technology Department's  guest speaker series in Conlon Hall this morning.

Our Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) student club, who won fourth place at the MIT IEEE MicroMouse (Robot) competition in October, received their team, and individual certificates yesterday afternoon. Dean of The School of Business and Technology Dr. Jennifer Hanselman and Engineering Technology Professor Hong Yu presented students with the certificates.

Students in Engineering Technology Professor Wayne Whitfield's Engineering Design & Fabrication II course put the finishing touches on their projects. This course studies mass production theory, systems and procedures in woodworking and residential construction, includes engineering design and leads to prototype development. 

Late last week, Dean of The School of Health and Natural Sciences Dr. Jennifer Hanselman and Engineering Technology Department faculty welcomed local business partners to the  Fitchburg State University Engineering Technology Department's Industry Advisory Board (IAB) meeting. Included on the agenda was an opportunity for students ask these industry professionals questions, and to present their work to the partners in attendance.

Students in Engineering Technology Professor Wayne Whitfield's Engineering Design & Fabrication II course continue working on their projects. This course studies mass production theory, systems and procedures in woodworking and residential construction, includes engineering design and leads to prototype development. 

This afternoon, the Career Services and Advising Center and the Engineering Technology Department held a Lunch & Learn Engineering Technology Employer Roundtable event. Representatives from Bemis Associates, Consigli Construction, and The Massachusetts Department of Transportation were on hand to network with students in Conlon Hall. Networking events serve as an excellent opportunity for our students to connect with potential employers, learn about different career paths, and gain valuable insights into the current job market. 

Our Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) student club won fourth place at the MIT IEEE MicroMouse (Robot) competition on Saturday and presented a poster for the MIT IEEE Undergraduate Research Technology Conference.
