Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Dr. Paul Nissenson (Mechanical Engineering Dept., Cal Poly Pomona) interviews two early career engineers, Matt DeSalvio and Don Logsdon, who graduated from Cal Poly Pomona four years prior to the interview. Matt and Don describe their experiences in industry and provide tips to engineering students who are about to enter the workforce.
