The Career Development Series is a six-part initiative designed to support engineering graduate students in navigating their academic journey and acquiring the necessary skills for success in their studies and future careers. Led by UCI faculty and campus partners, the series offers practical guidance and meaningful conversations around the realities of graduate life and professional development.
Kicking off with an honest and insightful conversation led by Dean Magnus Egerstedt, “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” of graduate student life sets the tone for the rest of the series. Future sessions will feature speakers from GPS-STEM, Beall Applied Innovation, and SSoE faculty, addressing tools for career transition, longevity, and essential professional skills.
Whether you’re planning to pursue academia, industry, or entrepreneurship, this series offers valuable guidance, resources, and networking opportunities to help you thrive now, and in the next chapter of your professional life.
