Career Paths in and out of Engineering

Mark A. Erle, PhD

Professor of Practice and Associate Chair; Computer Science and Engineering Department at Lehigh University

Michael spoke to our Lehigh students about strategies for securing internships and full-time positions. He was very easy to work with leading up to the event and brought a clear, structured message to students about preparing for the recruiting process.

His talk emphasized the pathways and expectations of major tech companies, which was useful context for those targeting highly competitive roles. We appreciated his experience and the practical insights he shared with our students.

Department of Computer Science at University of Albany SUNY

I had the pleasure of hosting Michael as a guest speaker in my capstone class, and his presentation was outstanding. He delivered an insightful, engaging, and highly informative talk that resonated strongly with the students.

They found his perspectives particularly valuable as they prepare to enter the job market. I truly appreciate the time and effort Michael invested in sharing his experiences and practical guidance, and I highly recommend him as a speaker and professional who makes a meaningful impact on students and early-career professionals.

Christelle Scharff

Director of Artificial Intelligence Lab at Pace University

Michael’s presentation was exceptionally well articulated and provided practical, actionable insights to help students prepare for job applications and interviews. He generously shared resources such as job boards, resume guidance, and interview tips drawn directly from his own professional experience.

It was especially encouraging to see several students approach Michael at the end of the talk to seek feedback on their resumes, which clearly demonstrates the strong impact of his presentation. I greatly appreciated Michael’s generosity with his time and his genuine engagement with our students.
