    University Calendar


    At the first one hour session, distinguished USC engineering professor and entrepreneur, Peter Beerel, will walk students through the building blocks of a business. The focus will be on product, customers, market sizing, and the revenue model. These concepts will be deconstructed to provide students a fundamental understanding of what it means to create an actual business, not just a prototype. In addition to walking through the basic underpinning of a business, Dr. Beerel will also touch on how to market and pitch the business to customers and potential investors. Additionally, an experienced student entrepreneur will also weigh in with practical advice on the subject.

    Engineers must be professionally proficient, astute and acutely aware of their responsibility to society. Student Professional Awareness Conferences or S-PACS (pronounced "ess-paks") explore the broader subjects that affect engineers' careers.

    S-PACs were first introduced in 1979 as a method of increasing professional awareness in a student's technical education. Since then, these conferences have become a strong force for improving the engineering profession. S-PACs give students an opportunity to learn from the varied experiences of successful engineers.

    S-PACs are structured events where students listen to experienced engineers from diverse backgrounds speak on a topic from one of six categories: Career Growth, Working, Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility, Self-Management, Engineers and Public Policy, or The Importance of a Professional Society to You.

    After the talk, students have a chance to interact with the speakers and industry representatives in an intimate, low-pressure setting. S-PACs allow corporate representatives to see what students are really like and vice versa.

    It's time once again for IEEE's Student-Professional Awareness Conference (S-PAC). Held in the Campus Center Ballroom, this event will give you a chance to sit down with representatives of various companies in a professional dinner environment and not only talk about their experience, but also build important contacts in your professional network.

    Attending Companies Include:
    Aerospace Corporation
    SAIC
    Boeing
    Sandia National Laboratories
    Deloitte
