Economic Impact • Part of the 23-campus Cal State system, is one of the largest single-campus universities in the nation and the only public university in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley, enrolling over 34,000 students. • Major force in its region, with an annual economic impact of nearly $700 million and responsible for nearly 12,000 jobs, through direct employment and local spending. • Major producer of basic and applied research, with over $ 25 Million in external grants for 2006 IEEE R6 TISP Workshop

  3. Global Challenges • Global • Social Context of Engineering Practice • Evolving curricula • Workforce needs

  4. Hands-on Project Based Learning IEEE R6 TISP Workshop

  5. EducationB.S. Civil Engineering California State University Northridge Brett is now pursuing a Doctorate in Civil Engineering, emphasis Geotechnical at the University of Colorado, Boulder EducationSarah is pursuing a BS in Electrical Engineering, BS in Medical Technology and a Minor in Chemistry Advice to StudentsDon't limit yourself; if you believe that engineering is the profession you wish to pursue then pursue it to the fullest. You'll find it is more rewarding than you ever imagined. Advice to StudentsJust work hard and do not get into the mind set that something is hard. You can do anything that you really try to do.
