CSULB Antelope Valley Engineering Program

In honor of Women's History Month, check back throughout March to see posts about women in the engineering field! #womenshistorymonth2021 #WomenInSTEM

As we come to a close of #Blackhistorymonth here are some links that tell the story of Black engineers who have made amazing contributions to the field: https://www.linkengineering.org/Explore/LE_Blog/52515.aspx https://www.sciencebuddies.org//black-history-month-scient https://www.asce.org/black-history-month/

Meet Dr. Jalali, an instructor in the Electrical Engineering Department at the AVEP. Read to learn more about him and his experience with the program.

In honor of #blackhistorymonth, meet Katherine Johnson, who you may be familiar with due to the film Hidden Figures (2016) where she is portrayed by Taraji P. Henson. She is most known for her calculation work for NASA to prepare for the orbital mission of John Glenn in 1962.

CSULB's College of Engineering had a social media takeover. Follow the link to check it out! https://www.instagram.com/p/CLcNutcJ61Q/

Meet Elijah McCoy, a mechanical engineer and 19th-20th century inventor best known for his work on the railroads. For more information on him and other African American engineers, check out this website. https://www.linkengineering.org/Explore/LE_Blog/52515.aspx

You made it! Have a good weekend and we'll see you next week with some brand new content.

Because our program is cohort-based, it allows you to build comradery with your classmates. It also allows for opportunities to develop leadership and professional skills.

Congratulations to our Cohort 9 students. Gillian Chatfelter(left) received the William J."Pete" Knight Excellence in Aerospace Scholarship and Leticia Pantoja received the C. Gordon Fullerton Memorial Scholarship on Saturday night at the Gathering of Eagles. We are very proud of these young women who will no doubt achieve their career dreams in the Aerospace industry.
