Dear Fellow Engineers and Scientists: Please see email thread below. You participation in the survey would help educate K-12 students on the day-to-day activities of Engineers. Please feel free to also share with your colleagues who could participate.

There are students who are learning about engineering, but beyond their projects or hearing the types of majors they say that they don't have concrete ideas of what engineers do from day to day. We decided to do profiles of careers from various majors and specialties so students will have examples and stories to remember. We are you to answer an online survey about your field and job. Be as specific as you can, use your technical jargon or layman's terms, and we will take your responses and generate profiles that students can view online. We want you to share it with others in your field or friends in other engineering disciplines. You have the option of remaining anonymous. You can complete the short survey at the following link: https://purdue.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4ZcMbr1NfE3BKDj Thank you!

I have been looking at another research project and students are interested in profiles of some engineering disciplines. We wanted to start with nanotechnology and nano-engineering so we can add some things to NanoHub. Do you know of any people currently working in the center who would be open to asking a few questions about their background and job? It would be a survey questionnaire they could do online, and then I would write up a profile of them. We wouldn't force them to take pictures, but that would be nice. Would you have some suggestions and be willing to make email introductions so I can invite them to participate? Tamecia

[Mentoring_at_Purdue] M@P - Bridging Generational Competence Workshop
by Vollmer, Dorothy L 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hello everyone! The Mentoring@Purdue Program (M@P) is holding the final workshop of the semester TODAY! Bridging Generational Competence is today, April 19th from noon - 1:00pm in Pfendler Hall room 241 with lunch provided. Please join us, along with Dr. Scott Downey, an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics, Quincy Clark, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Youth Development and Agricultural Education, and Casey Hooker, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, to dig deeper into the topic of generational competence. The multi-generational workforce requires generational competence and an age-friendly work environment that draws on the strengths of all generations. The ability to understand and accept generational differences facilitates the mutual respect and equity necessary to foster successful intergenerational relationships as co-workers and mentors. The overall goal of this workshop is to define generational competence and its role in age-diversity and mentoring. We will discuss the common characteristics of different generational groups and identify specific areas of difference to bridge, as well as commonalities to build upon, and outline strategies for developing generational competence and creating powerful intergenerational mentoring relationships. We hope to see you there! If you are unable to join us on campus, please follow this link to join us via webex: https://purdue.webex.com/join/foxrj [cid:image003.jpg@01D2B86B.BD866A40] On behalf of the M@P team, Dottie Vollmer Master’s Student Purdue University College of Agriculture Youth Development and Agricultural Education 765.585.1609 _______________________________________________ Mentoring_at_Purdue mailing list Mentoring_at_Purdue(a)lists.purdue.edu https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/mentoring_at_purdue
