6 Luis Alcazar CSU East Bay Engineering Outline  Short Self Introduction by Presenter (me) Why is it so Cool  Answer to the Question “Why is it so Cool?”  The BOTTOM LINE The $ & ¢ of an Engineering Career Why CSU East Bay  Answer to the Question “Why CSU East Bay?”

7 Luis Alcazar CSU East Bay Engineering What is Engineering?  Short Answer → Technical Product Creation The Output of ALL Engineering is –The Solution to a Practical Problem –Fulfillment of a Practical Need Long Answer → Technology Creation Through the Application of the Quantitative (Number-Based) Disciplines –Mathematics –Sciences; e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Biology –Empiricism (Experiments and Tests)

8 Luis Alcazar CSU East Bay Engineering What is COOL about Engineering?  Solving Challenging Problems  Opportunity to DESIGN, BUILD, and TEST Products that People Really Use Engineering is a CREATIVE endeavor –The Root of the Word “Engineer” is Ingenium; Not Engine  Chance to Learn New Things Engineering is about Progress; an Engineer’s Knowledge & Skills progress as well

9 Luis Alcazar CSU East Bay Engineering What is COOL about Engineering? Cont.1  Working with People That’s Right; Not all Engineers are “Nerds” Complex Technology Must Be Made Useful to the Non-Technical Person Engineers, aside from applied Math/Sci, manage Projects and Organizations –Some of the BEST Managers in Recent Times have Been Engineers by Training  Andrew Grove of INTEL → Ph.D. Chem Eng  Jack Welch of GE → Ph.D. Chem Eng  James Morgan of Applied Matls → BS Mech Eng

10 Luis Alcazar CSU East Bay Engineering What is COOL about Engineering? Cont.1  Publishing Technical Papers Thousands of Engineering/Technical Journals Publish The Results of Engineer’s Analyses, Designs, Experiments

11 Luis Alcazar CSU East Bay Engineering What is COOL about Engineering? Cont.2  Earning Patents Earning A Patent Requires the Advancement of a Practical Art; This is what Engineers do USA Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 (Powers Granted to Congress): Clause 8: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries

12 Luis Alcazar CSU East Bay Engineering What is COOL about Engineering? Cont.2  Engage in Professional Activities Attend/Present-At Technical Conferences Attend Trade-Shows Society Membership (ASCE, IEEE, ASME)  See the World – Engineers often Travel Special Knowledge/Skills Can often ONLY be Transmitted In-Person –Promote/Explain Product to Customers –Install Product, Train Users –  -Site Product-Testing

25 Luis Alcazar CSU East Bay Engineering Luis Alcazar Engineer In Training East Bay Engineering Questions ? ¿ ?

26 Luis Alcazar CSU East Bay Engineering California Needs Engineers boost by 50%  Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed an educational initiative that aims to boost by almost 50% the number of California-trained engineers during the next decade... 20,000 to 24,000 new engineers too few graduates to meet the demand forcivil, electronics, mechanical, aerospace and other industries  The goal of the Engineer Initiative is to bring 20,000 to 24,000 new engineers into the state's workforce. Even though the number of engineers in the state is expected to grow to 44,000 by 2014, there are too few graduates to meet the demand for civil, electronics, mechanical, aerospace and other industries, according to the state's Labor & Workforce Development Agency.
