The Spring 2007 SWE-OC Leadership Training session was a great success. Seven CSULB members attended the event held at Cal State, Fullreton. Autum Smith, CSULB-SWE counselor, gave a presentation about increasing and retaining membership and gave students an opportunity to share best practices for fund development, event planning, and member recruitment.

The Associated Engineering Student Body (AESB) is regularly contacted by employers asking for resumes for both entry level and internship positions. We (AESB) will be compiling CSULB student resumes to be disturbed to industry as both a CD, and an electronic file. Getting an internship prior to graduation is a critical part of securing employment after graduation. All engineering students are encouraged to send in their resumes to info@aesb.org to be considered for employment from a variety of companies.

Boeing is already waiting for these resumes. Seriously, everyone send in your resume. Yes, that means you too!
