36. An Interview with Dr. John Milne: The Importance of "Real World" Skills in a Student's Academic Pursuits
In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of interviewing Dr. John Milne, Associate Professor of Engineering and Management at Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY. Dr. Milne highlights a variety of important considerations for students preparing for entry into technical majors as part of their college studies. Specifically, Dr. Milne discusses:
- What to consider when entering the field of Engineering and Management.
- The benefits of attending a small university in a small town.
- The "return on investment" students receive in higher education.
- The value of connecting theoretical concepts to real world problems.
- The need for learning to be concrete and immediately applicable for students.
- The intersection of technology and management skills.
- How students can best position themselves for success in the field of Engineering.
- The importance of writing and communication skills.
- The value of joining (and even creating!) clubs as part of the college experience.
