Professional Skills Development Workshop Call for Participants

This notice is to inform all interested students of the upcoming
Professional Skills Development Workshop.  This annual workshop
will be held on Saturday, November 6th, 1999 at Stevens Institute
of Technology in Hoboken, NJ.

If you don't already know, this workshop is to provide students
an opportunity to get professional skills education that is not
available in an academic environment. Comparable to last year's 
workshop, the agenda will include topics emphasizing softer skills
that engineers need to succeed in today's working world.  Previous
topics included career planning and management, overcoming fears,
and public communication skills.

The Fall 99 program will include new professional topics and new
speakers.  The focus will be on critical topics such as time
management, practical engineering experience, presentation skills, 
and others.  Remember, this workshop is open to all interested
engineering students that want to learn such professional skills 
and have an edge before they goto work.

event is completely free.  You must pre-register to reserve a seat
