What exactly is the Explorer Program?
A way for high school students, like me, to get exposure to real-life careers. When I went to the introductory session I found out there were explorer posts for twelve topics including: fire service, business, law and engineering. Knowing I want to go into biomedical engineering for my bachelor’s degree, I decided to sign-up for the Engineering Explorer Post. This will allow me to have a chance for seeing which degrees are most suitable for me to pursue in the field of engineering. Plus, there’s pizza before every meeting!
For the next few months I will be logging my experiences. Ohio State University was gracious enough to host every meeting with volunteers currently earning engineering degrees and teachers from their College of Engineering. Below I listed each meeting I am going to attend this school year:
October 14th - Industrial Systems Engineering
November 18th - Electrical and Computer Science Engineering
December 9th - Food Science and Engineering
February 10th - SolidWorks and 3D Printing
March 10th - Welding Engineering
