Engineering Futures @ CSULB - April 22, 2006
The California Theta Chapter will be hosting the second Spring '06 Engineering Futures session on Saturday, April 22. It will be held from 10AM-2PM in Health & Human Services Building 1, Room 200 (HHS1-200) close to the P.E. Building. This is the same location as the first Engineering Futures session. This event is open to all Engineering, Math, and Science students. The topic will be "People Skills and Problem Solving" and is divided into two sessions. Please read on for more information about Engineering Futures and a description of what we'll be doing on April 22.
What is Engineering Futures?
The Tau Beta Pi Engineering Futures Program was established to provide interpersonal skills for engineering students. This is accomplished through the presentation of sessions on campus by alumnus Tau Bates who are trained in the materials.
What will we be doing at Engineering Futures?
The focus of this Engineering Futures event is People Skills (one-on-one problem solving). The seminar will be broken down into two sessions: Ability Problems and Emergent Problems. Lunch will be provided.
- PS3 - Ability Problems:
- Learn how to help others solve their own ability problems by asking them for ideas and helping them come up with solutions on their own, or with the student's help. Examples show how to do this in a way that encourages the other person, and helps them to solve their own problems more effectively in the future.
- PS4 - Emergent Problems:
- Learn to identify emergent problems, determine when they can be put aside, how to put them aside, and how to address them when necessary. Also learn how to address problems involving high emotion (anger, stress, etc.) or a high degree of complexity.
Do we have to pay or be a TBP member to participate?
No, it is a free seminar for all engineering, math, and science students of CSULB. We encourage you to come and even invite your friends to join.
