I wish I had this resource when I was in college! I think it's sometimes hard to understand where MSE fits into different industries. When you apply to jobs, it's hard to tell if your skills and background match the requirements if they don't have a role for Materials Engineers specifically. This resource provides clarity to these questions and strategies to succeed as an MSE in any industry.

Punith has been a really good mentor for me during my time as a material science and engineering undergraduate at Georgia Tech. He gave me guidance as to what kind of content would be taught in the material science courses, how to be successful in these classes, and how these concepts would be valuable for me in academia and industry settings. He also helped me prepare for an interview at the company I currently co-op at by providing me with knowledge about the company and general interview tips. In addition, he gave me advice on what concepts and instrumentation I should know to help me succeed.

During a busy application season, meeting Punith was truly a privilege. We immediately connected over a love for both materials and the world of medical devices. Punith proved to be a wealth of knowledge and was excited to explain his interview preparation tips and help me grow my network. His encouragement and commitment to uplifting fellow MSE students made me feel more confident in my abilities.

Why We Created This Course
Hey, Punith here! I remember having no idea what companies hired MSEs, and more importantly, I had no idea what industry I wanted to pursue. I remember freezing the first time a recruiter asked me "What exactly is Materials Science and Engineering?" because I didn't know how to relate it to the company. Even 5 years later, switching industries as an MSE was a challenge. As a result, David and I are combining the knowledge we gained from 100+ hours of networking, alongside the valuable knowledge of 12 other MSE professionals, to create a comprehensive set of resources we wish we had throughout our MSE careers. We've seen and experienced the challenges you are facing currently, and we want to do whatever it takes to ensure MSEs like you find your passion and land your target roles.
