UNLV Engineering Ambassador

On Labor Day weekend, UNLV Rebel racing went to Johnsons Valley, CA to participate in a Unsanctioned Baja race organized by UNR, a bunch of California schools were there to participate too! We had a lot of fun!

We had a great time at the Fall Student Mixer for the COE Engineering International Students. What better way for get to know each other over UNO and LIFE? @ UNLV

Looking for something to do this Friday, August 30th? Come to the COE International Program’s Fall Student Mixer! Meet students from all across the world that have traveled to UNLV to study. There will be free food, games, music, and more!

Hope to see you there!

We were at UNLV Creates greeting the incoming freshman. We’re so excited to see so many fresh faces for the fall!

Melanie is an incoming sophomore studying mechanical engineering. This summer, Melanie has been interning at Tesla’s Gigafactory 1 focusing on workforce development and education programs. She has been working on various projects from different areas of the company, including analysis around Tesla’s education investment in Nevada and our high school graduate apprenticeship, and the Manufacturing Development Program. While working there, Melanie has also been able to shadow and meet some of our engineers and technicians at Tesla, with a goal to return as either a production or controls engineering intern in the future!

Interested in engaging students, children, and the community in the world of engineering & STEM? Want to push your comfort zone and grow your professional repertoire? Join the engineering student ambassadors!

The Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering Student Ambassadors engage all generations of students- sharing with them the excitement of engineering through on-campus tours, presentations, and events in tandem with off-campus visits to the Las Vegas community. Ambassadors strive to execute this through the effective communication of technical information to a wide variety of audiences while providing and developing valuable personal and professional relationships.

Our Lead Ambassador, Evan, has been in Washington DC this summer interning with the United States Senate Cybersecurity Division. During his time working in this specialized position he’s learned a few things, some of which he’d like to share with you:

· If you have even an inkling that you hope to achieve something, do everything in your power to make it happen. Do not be afraid to ask for help along the way.
· Dress for the role you want. The way you carry yourself matters and should be one of your highest priorities (The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs told me this one, and I stand by it)
· Always be building your resume when possible. Take time applying and interviewing for opportunities within your desired career path. Focus on SSP- Sustained Superior Performance, differentiate yourself from those around you (thank NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine for the acronym)
· Carry a business card. Imagine, if someone handed you their business card right now, how you would react… Be the person leaving that impression.
· Never tell yourself you aren’t good enough. If you don’t achieve something that you hope for, keep trying. No one meets success without failure. I applied to 72 internships before an offer crossed my table.
· Don’t forget to breathe
· Be confident
· Be passionate
· Be tenacious
· Write Thank You letters

If you have any questions for him, you can email Evan at: [email protected]
