Hanging with Chrysler
Last night was a blast. Wait rewind..
Chrysler Group LLC came to North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University as the focal employer for Engineer's Week 2013: Celebrate Awesome. Chrysler LLC is one of the leading auto manufacturer in the industry. With the conglomerate of the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Mopar Electronics, and the lovable SRT, Chrysler has emerged from the brink.
During E-Week, Chrysler conducted info sessions, enrichment seminars, and interviews in conjunction with A&T's Spring Career Fair to raise awareness about their internships, co-op, and company as a whole. Representatives were eager talk to the students of North Carolina A&T's College of Engineering. Organizations like the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Electronics (IEEE) were active in conversations with Chrysler to help bring internships to students.
But yesterday for two hours Chrysler met with A&T students for a fun night. At AMF Bowling Alley in Greensboro, North Carolina Chrysler hosted the best bowling night. There was free bowling, shoes, food, drinks, and exposure. Chrysler was not only present at AMF but they were sociable and were interested in knowing what made students want to work in the auto industry.
Throughout the night I met various representatives that all had great information about their company. I spoke with a Design Engineer named Xavier and his main function at Chrysler was the design and innovation of Bluetooth technology in Dodge vehicles. Anything that allows you to have hands-free functions in your vehicle goes through the hands of Xavier. He was great, but the best part was when he told me about taking his work home. The other representative that I spoke to was Becky. Becky was a recruiter looking for students with drive. She was telling me that even though I have high hopes in the Aerospace Industry, I could still have a role in the auto industry. I told her that I was interested in propulsion systems and she offered some great advice about joining the auto industry. She told me that engines, whether in aerial vehicles or cars, function under the same principles, so why not explore that entity. I enjoyed talking to this woman because she made me think that the auto industry isn't so bad. Don't get me wrong, my heart lies in the sky, but I might consider tinkering with the auto industry.
Long story short, I had a great time. The bowling was great my friends had a fun too. The even handed out USB drives, headphones, info cards and booklets for our benefit. It was great turn out, but the best part was leaving AMF and seeing the representatives cars. The all had 2013 models like the Dodge Charger SRT with 22'' chrome alloy rims, the Challenger SRT, and the Dart it was awesome too see. This was great event and I hope to see something like this in the future for Engineer's Week at North Carolina A&T State University because last night was a blast.
