Build and Sustain a Career in Engineering by Anindya Chatterjee Pdf

"A must read for students standing at the edge of choosing their careers, and for others to look back and help the next generation." Dr. Vijay Patel, Technology Director, Flight control laws LCA, IFCS, ADA Bangalore. "An excellent collection of personal experiences and a narrative interspersed with real advice, opinions and actionable insights that can guide generations. A must read." Rajat Jain, business mentor for early stage startups, ex MD, Xerox India and Walt Disney India. "This remarkable book works at many levels. At one, it is a lucidly explained guide that, with the lightest of touch, hand-holds and empowers students to prepare them for what lies beyond the classroom. At another, it is a veritable manual for our work and life. As technology reshapes both, the book offers invaluable insight into what each means and how we can better navigate the increasingly permeable walls between the two." Raj Kamal Jha, engineer, journalist, novelist, and Chief Editor of The Indian Express. Blurb: Many career advice books are written by senior managers and entrepreneurs for senior managers and entrepreneurs. Other career advice books are written by people whose career consists of giving career advice. This book is written for young engineers by an engineering professor who is currently engaged in teaching and research. The book emphasizes a long-term view. Engineering is not learned in four years. If you are alert, and keep learning and integrating ideas along the way, then you slowly build up a type of understanding that newcomers cannot match. This helps you build a sustainable career. Do not be distracted by the apparent success of a few people who seem to take shortcuts. For most people, statistics will apply. For most people, and therefore probably for you as well, success will be more likely if you develop long term value.

Taking the guesswork out of saving and finding money for college, this is a practical and insightful must-have guide for every parent!” —Jaye J. Fenderson, Seventeen’s College Columnist and Author, Seventeen’s Guide to Getting into College “This book is a must read in an era of rising tuition and falling admission rates. O’Shaughnessy offers good advice with blessed clarity and brevity.” —Jay Mathews, Washington Post Education Writer and Columnist “I would recommend any parent of a college-bound student read The College Solution.” —Kal Chany, Author, The Princeton Review’s Paying for College Without Going Broke “The College Solution goes beyond other guidebooks in providing an abundance of information about how to afford college, in addition to how to approach the selection process by putting the student first.” —Martha “Marty” O’Connell, Executive Director, Colleges That Change Lives “Lynn O’Shaughnessy always focuses on what’s in the consumer’s best interest, telling families how to save money and avoid making costly mistakes.” —Mark Kantrowitz, Publisher, FinAid.org and Author, FastWeb College Gold “An antidote to the hype and hysteria about getting in and paying for college! O’Shaughnessy has produced an excellent overview that demystifies the college planning process for students and families.” —Barmak Nassirian, American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers For millions of families, the college planning experience has become extremely stressful. And, unless your child is an elite student in the academic top 1%, most books on the subject won’t help you. Now, however, there’s a college guide for everyone. In The College Solution, top personal finance journalist Lynn O’Shaughnessy presents an easy-to-use roadmap to finding the right college program (not just the most hyped) and dramatically reducing the cost of college, too. Forget the rankings! Discover what really matters: the quality and value of the programs your child wants and deserves. O’Shaughnessy uncovers “industry secrets” on how colleges actually parcel out financial aid—and how even “average” students can maximize their share. Learn how to send your kids to expensive private schools for virtually the cost of an in-state public college...and how promising students can pay significantly less than the “sticker price” even at the best state universities. No other book offers this much practical guidance on choosing a college...and no other book will save you as much money! • Secrets your school’s guidance counselor doesn’t know yet The surprising ways colleges have changed how they do business • Get every dime of financial aid that’s out there for you Be a “fly on the wall” inside the college financial aid office • U.S. News & World Report: clueless about your child Beyond one-size-fits-all rankings: finding the right program for your teenager • The best bargains in higher education Overlooked academic choices that just might be perfect for you

Latin* Students in Engineering by Lara Perez-Felkner,Sarah L. Rodriguez,Ciera Fluker Pdf

The growing population of engineering students who identify as Latin* are underrepresented in the field of engineering. Latin* refers to an individual of Latin American origin or descent, without restricting to a specific gender. The asterisk (*) includes related identity terms such as Latina/é/o/u/x.There is, however, a rising need to train U.S. students in engineering skills to meet the demands of our increasingly technological workforce. Structurally excluding Latin* students hinders their economic and educational opportunities in engineering. Latin* Students in Engineering examines the state of Latin* engineering education at present as well as considerations for policy and practice regarding engineering education aimed at enhancing opportunity and better serving Latin* students. The essays in this volume first consider, theoretically and empirically, the experiences of Latin* students in engineering education and then expand beyond the student level to focus on institutional and social structures that challenge Latin* students' success and retention. Finally, it illuminates emergent work and considers future research, policy, and practice.
