FREE MASTERS PROGRAM AT WAKE FOREST

About the Program: The Master of Art in Management program is designed specifically for liberal arts majors only. The MA degree program is a 10 month intense study of the basic functional areas of Business. After graduation and working for approximately two years, all MA graduates are eligible to apply to Wake Forest as part of the MA/MBA joint degree program and get the MBA in one year.

Corporate Research Postdoctoral Fellowship Program to our Corporate Members.

The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) in partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF) is pleased to announce the launch of the Corporate Research Postdoctoral Fellowship Program to our Corporate Members. The program is designed to encourage the involvement of creative and highly trained engineers in areas of great interest and relevance to the nation.

The program will provide recent engineering PhD’s the opportunity to conduct research in a corporate setting. Funding will support 40 positions for one year. All research fellows must be US citizens, US nationals, or legal permanent residents who hold an engineering PhD awarded within the last three years. Each research fellow will receive a total stipend of $75,000 in addition to health insurance benefits. ASEE will provide $50,000 towards the stipend and $6,500 for health benefits. Each host company will be responsible for providing a minimum of $25,000 towards the stipend and a $2,500 administrative fee to ASEE. Host companies may furnish additional funds to increase the stipend, for professional travel and relocation expenses, if the host company deems that to be appropriate. Host companies will also be responsible for providing a mentor for each fellow.

If you are interested in learning more about the program you can go to the program website at https://aseensfip.asee.org or contact me via email at a.hicks@asee.org or phone at 202-331-3558.
 

Engage kids in the world of civil engineering!

In the spirit of sharing new and important information on pre-college outreach within the STEM community, I wanted to alert you to one of ASCE's newest pre-college outreach successes - ASCEville, ASCE's new Web site for Kids!

ASCE has made it possible for you to engage kids in the world of civil engineering ONLINE! What better way to grab kids' attention than a cool Web site where they can watch a whole city transform before their eyes from the ground up. With just one click, visitors can enter ASCEville, the place where civil engineering happens! http://www.asceville.org

ASCEville can be used to promote the excitement, creativity and rewards of civil engineering as an exciting career possibility. Its interactive activities and compelling stories of inspiring young engineers are sure to leave kids with a clear understanding and thirst for engineering.

ASCEville opens up the world of engineering in much the same way people encounter civil engineering in real life-by exploring the urban landscape. Parents, educators and engineers can also get in on the action by way of the "Resources" page, where they'll find a host of information on academic and career guidance, outreach and much more.
