Senators of Tech and Design Panel Series – Feb 25

Leave a reply

As the Covid-19 pandemic is still ongoing, online learning is still a thing at City Tech and CUNY in general. As a result, the SGA has worked hard to make this panel with representatives for these departments: Mechanical Engineering Technology, Computer Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, and Architecture Technology.

These majors are heavily hands-on, with presence usually on campus, but the pandemic has changed the trajectory of things. If you are in any of these departments and are new to online learning, this event is for you. If not, you are still welcome to join as the panelists will give out valuable gems that can help you succeed in these unusual times.
This panel is a great opportunity to meet people who were in the same situation you were in and ask questions you may have about online learning. 

The meeting will take place on February 25th from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM via Zoom. There will be a GIVEAWAY at the end of the Panel so come in and stay tuned.
