Day 19

Incredibly Exciting Opportunities

Today was another workshop in our REU program. On this day we all gathered once again to listen to several lectures having to do with graduate studies and club activities given to us by the many speakers what were invited to aid us in deciding how we might be spending our futures in our studies.
First we were informed on the many benefits we can easily detain by earning a PhD in our studies and gaining the title as Dr. Following this lecture we were introduced to several leaders of different engineering organizations such as the ASCE, SHPE, ASME, and several other exiting groups that can definitely aid us in reaching our goals of becoming great engineers in the future. 
And finally we were giving lectures by our TA's and other grad students (Most in which we all work with) and how difficult grad school can actually be as well as the benefits we can gain from it. 
All in all, Club activities and grad school both seem to be incredibly exciting. Later in the future, after returning to my home school. I will definitely be Looking into these...Incredibly Exciting Opportunities.
