On Friday the 12th of March 2022, the Alumni Office of the College of Engineering in conjunction with the Awards and Career fair Committee held the College’s maiden formal interactive session with a couple of its alumni within the College of Engineering’s Career Fair.
The program was dubbed Alumni Meet, and it was held at the Kumapley Auditorium at the College of Engineering at 1:30pm in the afternoon. Alumni present were eight altogether including alumni who lecture. Two were from Industry and specially invited to converse with students.
The aim of this program is to create an avenue for Engineering students to ask questions, probe and/or get innovative ideas and knowledge about the working field in general from alumni in Industry firsthand so they can make informed decisions prior to leaving campus. It is within the College’s wider scope of plans to train all-round Engineers – Engineers with entrepreneurial knowledge, pragmatic knowledge, and general knowledge that makes them versatile and attractive for the job market.
The students that turned up actively participated, asking a wide array of questions from what to expect, to what it takes to be the candidate of choice. Their questions were answered by the couple of Alumni and the Provost of the College, Prof. Mark Adom Asamoah. The Alumni reiterated the need for Engineering students to be willing to sacrifice their time without the thought of payment for experience on the field. This they explained will up their chances for job offers.
The program ended with picture taking with the Alumni. This is a program that will continue as the years roll by so Alumni interested in being resource persons can register on the google forms via this lin:
