Make sure to do your best on finals! It is recommended to start preparing for these exams at least five days before. During those five days, figure out what you need to study and determine which concept/problem is giving you the most trouble. From there, schedule time on each day to study on different subjects. Whatever you do, please do not attempt all-nighters at this time!!! If you miss the final, it will be extremely difficult to make it up.

SHPE’s last mee ng was with Lockheed Mar n representa ve,

James Narey. James is the current President of Lockheed Mar n’s

SHPE chapter and current project manager at the company. He

explained to SHPEsters Lockheed Mar n’s current projects and

described methods on becoming an efficient project manager.

Whether SHPEsters plan to be a project manager, these skills can be

applied to their own engineering courses.
