“What’s your real engineering/computer science job like?” 4 alumni answer student questions

CEAS Alumni Dinner Group 2022

Four College of Engineering & Applied Science alumni recently took time to meet with ten current undergraduate students and share stories about what it’s like to work in the fields of engineering and computer science.

Students who live in the Engineering House for CEAS Majors, a Living Learning Community, talked with the alumni over dinner at the Sandburg Residence Hall in March. This event, hosted in person after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, is an example of the benefits provided to (engineering and computer science freshmen?) living in this LLC.

  • Ian Clark, senior software engineer at Northwestern Mutual (Computer Science)
  • Caitlyn Resinger, civil engineer at raSmith (Civil Engineering)
  • Kathleen Zeitz, process-product-metallurgical engineer at Clarios (Materials Science & Engineering).
  • Erick Rico-Sanchez, associate design engineer at Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Mechanical Engineering).

The event was coordinated by Steven Anderson, tutoring & mentoring coordinator in the college, and Tessa Parrish and Tony Seaks, resident assistants, and College of Engineering & Applied Science students.
