Each workshop's content is put together based on the emerging technologies that are in demand in your local area. The Metro Area Workshop series is designed for practicing engineers and technical professionals who are innovators, have a desire to learn more, are in a career transition, or considering a career change. Also, students in these technology areas will benefit greatly not only from the expert knowledge gained, but from the networking opportunities, as they are making their career choices.
