Last Fall ('05), the Science and Engineering Research Symposium was piloted with over 90 students participating. This event was held to expose students from all over California to the many career options, experiences and resources available in engineering, mathematics and the sciences. The symposium provided students with seminars conducted by industry and academic speakers discussing and sharing their experiences about many of the unique career options available to students once they become a part of the professional world. Roundtable forums were also held for students to interact with industry, academia and peer mentors by major. This symposium provided a venue to showcase the research and work done by B A STAR and MESA students through the poster competition.
