Night of Engineering Introduces Students to Seamless, Affordable Path from CSM to USMSM And Local Careers
Building awareness around the College of Southern Maryland's (CSM) engineering pathways and workforce development partnerships continues this autumn when CSM hosts 'Night of Engineering' at its Leonardtown Campus Oct. 26.
During ‘Night of Engineering,’ CSM spotlights its Electrical and Mechanical Engineering majors and the Southern Maryland ENTRY Program – a partnership with the University of Maryland that offers a seamless path to an engineering bachelor’s degree and allows students to stay close to home by attending the University System of Maryland Southern Maryland (USMSM).
The ENTRY program has students earning their associate of science engineering degree at CSM, and upon completion, transferring with junior status to earn a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering or electrical engineering at USMSM. Students also have the opportunity to do an internship with the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), a division of NAVAIR, at Naval Air Station Patuxent River with a possible employment opportunity upon successful graduation and completion of all requirements.
Along with their studies and classwork, CSM engineering students are encouraged to engage with their communities by volunteering and giving back. The students can also join the Talons robotics team, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Engineering Club, and the Math Club to further their skills and build their social network.
Night of Engineering. Oct. 26. 6 – 7:45 p.m. Leonardtown Campus, Building A, Auditorium.
