Industrial Engagement Committee Panel Discussion – Achieving Success in Industry

The transition from Academia to Industry and long-term Industrial success often poses new and unique challenges. Recognition may not come from publications or grant funding, but rather accelerating delivery on a project that nets the business cost savings. Tying personnel contributions to project deliverables and cost savings is one mechanism that industry recognizes the accomplishments of Scientist and Engineers. This panel discussion with Industry will explore how to market yourself, adjust to a new corporate culture, personnel and corporate growth, and become a recognized leader.

Undergraduate Flash Session

We welcome all Symposium attendees to join us for this very special session where our undergraduate poster presenters will give brief oral previews of their research before presenting their posters later that evening. Come learn about the exciting work being done by our undergraduate students, celebrate their accomplishments, and encourage their continued studies and engagement in the AVS community. We hope you’ll join us in supporting the next generation of scientists and engineers!
