Participants at the Career Networking Night at the Texas A&M Engineering Building in Education City.
More than 70 representatives from 35 businesses and companies in the region attended the Career Networking Night at the Texas A&M Engineering Building in Education City.
Eighty Texas A&M at Qatar (TAMUQ) students and 30 former students were on hand to meet with the industry representatives about internship and employment opportunities.
The event was organised by the largest student organisation at the branch campus, the Student Engineers’ Council, which aims to provide professional development and advancement to students. “We recognised the need to shorten the gap between Aggies in the classroom and the corporate world,” said Saadat Khan, event co-organiser and mechanical engineering senior. “The event allows students to build connections with representatives from companies that they may possibly want to intern or work for in the future.”
The dean of TAMUQ, Dr César O Malavé said: “Aggie engineers are problem solvers who are in the business of changing the world. We’re excited to host so many companies here tonight so you can see firsthand what I mean. Since 2007 we’ve graduated more than 700 students who have contributed significantly to the State of Qatar. Our students have a track record of leadership and excellence."
