Why, What and How of Higher Studies.
Women in Engineering Affinity Group, IEEE NSU Student Branch (WIE AG INSB) successfully organised a career development seminar namely “Why What and How of Higher Studies” on the 19th of December at North South University campus. This event’s main vision is to give the undergrad students an insight and clear view of higher studies and the different paths of pursuing this. The speaker of the workshop was Fariah Mahzabeen, Hardware Engineer, Google Inc, USA. She is also an adjacent faculty at San Jose State University. She has completed her PhD from Stanford University and completed her BSc from North South University. This event started with a welcome note by Ms Ashfia Binte Habib, advisor, WIE AG INSB. Then Ms. fariah went on stage and shared her journey from NSU to Stanford to Google. The story of her journey inspired the students a lot to pursue higher studies. She suggested the students how to build the profile, email a professor, what and how should anyone write SOP. She also gave her suggestion about CGPA. After an hour of her session, she answered many quarries of the students related to higher studies, the producers of going abroad for higher studies, funding process and so on. The event ended with everyone in high spirits. This workshop will remain a special one for the students to intensify their interest in higher studies.
