Thank you for accepting an invitation to talk to our engineering students about your career field. You’re invited to present your career field because one or more of our students expressed interest in and have done some research on the field. All the students are learning about career choices and students know something about the qualifications for the job, the working conditions, where the jobs are, wages and salaries, and employment prospects.  Please talk to the entire class about how and why you chose to enter your field and what it is like. We want the good news with the bad so that you leave students with a pretty good understanding of the profession.

Note our classes are 50 minutes long. You will usually have an audience of 24 Juniors at 7:30 to 8:30 AM, and about 25 Freshmen from 8:30 to 9:30AM. Our classes are in Building/Room # at the northeast corner of the campus. You may park in the east side teachers’ parking lot.  One of my students or I will meet you and lead you to the classes.

We’ve enclosed a suggested outline for your presentation. These topics are intended to give you some ideas on what you could talk about. Please design a presentation you are most comfortable giving--adding, omitting, or reorganizing, as you like. Announce if you will take questions during the presentation. Please lead the students through your presentation. You cannot depend on their questions to keep the discussion moving along.  Please let us know of your audio visual requirements.  Our students particularly like visuals, moving pictures, and show-and-tell items like examples of your products.

All the instructors and students thank you for investing time to excite our students about your field and their futures! Please call us anytime with your suggestions and questions.

Sincerely,
