Hi everyone!
We have an exciting opportunity this Wednesday to hear from one of our own CEE graduates about the work that she does as an ocean engineer at Glosten.
Glosten is here in Seattle and is involved in some very unique projects including naval research vessels and off-shore wind platforms. Ramona is fantastic and it should be an interesting talk. It could be a career path that you hadn’t considered when pursuing CEE!
Looking forward to seeing you there
