How have their careers been to date? Why choose consulting engineering? What is a typical day like for
a consulting engineer? These were some of the fascinating topics addressed as the engineers shared on
themselves, their careers and their professional journeys.
After fruitful discussions and time spent networking on a personal level, students left armed with
knowledge and promises from them to mentor highschool students in STEM subjects and from the
engineers to keep the communication lines open.
