From The Beach to the Engineering Workforce
@ The Beach Podcast Hosted by Dan Montoya, CSULB Vice President of University Relations and Development. The URD-produced podcast shares news of accomplishments and honors, personal stories, and ways listeners can become involved with Cal State Long Beach.
I recently had a conversation with Simon Richmond, PE, PMP — Regional Executive at EwingCole — about the journey from earning an engineering degree at Cal State Long Beach to establishing a successful career in engineering.
We discussed key topics such as:
– What employers truly assess when hiring new graduates.
– The differences between engineers who struggle in their first year and those who excel right away.
– How universities and industry can collaborate to create more effective talent pipelines.
This discussion is valuable for anyone involved in hiring engineers, mentoring students, or for engineering students themselves.
