Join the Shreveport Section at LeTourneau University for a Young Professionals Panel featuring local engineers who are making meaningful contributions to their respective fields early on in their careers. The panel represents experience in the computer, RF, mechatronics, and biomedical engineering fields within companies as small and as fresh as tech start-ups and small engineering firms, to non-profits, and all the way up to large contractors. Take the time to meet engineers in your section over dinner, followed by the panel discussion and Q&A.
