The National Science Foundation is funding a free engineering career workshop this week at Mississippi State.

Titled "Career Development: From Senior Undergraduates to Navigating Assistant Professorship," the various Thursday [Jan. 29] and Friday [Jan. 30] sessions will be held in the university's Bost Extension Center auditorium.

The event is designed specifically for engineering majors and faculty members at any institution of higher learning, including senior undergraduates, graduate students, post-doctoral alumni and non-tenured faculty. Increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in both graduate schools and academia in general is NSF's goal in supporting workshops like this around the country, according to campus organizers.

Online registration is recommended at . The site also provides information on parking and hotel accommodations.
