Here is the email our speaker, Bridget Russel, sent to the SWE and AIChE board after the workshop. Definitely check out her beneficial links! Feel  free to also re-watch the workshop recording YoutTube video that is linked below. 


From Bridget Russell:

Thanks so much for having me! You guys were a great bunch and did an awesome job with the design challenge questions. Also, great questions from everyone at the end.

Here are a couple of links to things I talked about:

 

1.       Bleeding  Edge Documentary on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/80170862

2.       Pelvic Organ Prolapse and changes within the FDA:  Two interesting articles:

a.       Johnson and Johnson getting sued: https://www.medtechintelligence.com/news_article/jj-must-pay-344-million-for-marketing-of-pelvic-mesh-in-california-case/

b.      FDA removes all devices from the market: https://www.medtechintelligence.com/news_article/fda-orders-boston-scientific-and-coloplast-to-remove-all-remaining-vaginal-mesh-products-from-u-s-market/

3.       Certifications to Check out:

You should be able to take these now (with minimal or no experience at a company). Check to see if your university will help pay or if they have student membership options. Even just being a member (and not taking the exam) is super helpful – there are a million webinars you can take or you can connect with others through the different chapters (a great way to meet ppl).

a.       CAPM: Certified Associate in Project Management: https://www.pmi.org/certifications/types/certified-associate-capm

b.      CQIA: Quality Improvement Associate: https://asq.org/cert/quality-improvement-associate

c.       CSSYB: Six Sigma Yellow Belt: https://asq.org/cert/six-sigma-yellow-belt

d.      Solidworks: https://www.solidworks.com/solidworks-certification-program

4.       Personality (self-awareness tests) to check out:

Same thing with these – no experience needed and see if the university will pay or if you can get a student discount.

a.       Myers Briggs: https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/

b.      Disc: https://www.mydiscprofile.com/en-us/

c.       True Colors: https://truecolorsintl.com/the-four-color-personalities/

5.       Statistics Programs to learn and get better with – this will totally help in most engineering careers (especially any manufacturing industry):

See if your university uses one of these and just go start using it. A lot of times they have demos you can do to learn! Super helpful. Or think of something in real life that you want to look… for example sports statistics or coronavirus or wine. Whatever!

a.       Minitab: http://www.minitab.com/en-US/default.aspx

b.      JMP: https://www.jmp.com/en_us/home.html

c.       R: https://www.r-statistics.com/

6.       Mint budgeting app: https://www.mint.com/

7.       Mealime app: https://www.mealime.com/

8.       Libby library app: https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby/

9.       Books (read or listen for free on Libby!)

LinkedIn: Please send a note telling me that you were from the class and feel free to message me in the future about questions. Warning – sometimes I am bad at checking my messages but I will eventually get back to you: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bridget-russell-pmp-cqe-a827a987/

We'd like to stand in solidarity with the BLM Movement that has swept our nation in recent weeks. We acknowledge the injustices that have been taking place to the Black community and stand with you. In the coming days, we will be starting a fundraiser initiative on our social media platforms to raise money for organizations that stand for justice. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the organizations that we are soon to announce. 

As you all may be aware, Yemen is experiencing the biggest humanitarian crisis the world has ever seen. The impacts of war and diseases have taken a huge toll on the population. We will be collaborating with UMBC UNICEF to raise money for UNICEF's fund for the children in Yemen. The organization is in need of $30 Million by the end of June. As student organizations with missions to create a positive and lasting impact on future generations, we urge all our members to take part and donate in whatever way they can! Please view the attached graphic that displays what we are going to be doing. fundraiser bingos will be posted on our social accounts today.

An Invitation to Return...

There was a time in human history when each of us was alive and awake to both the beauty and the wisdom of the natural world. A time of awareness where we intuited that what was happening 'outside' was also happening 'inside' each of us. A time when nature was our teacher. The following practices invite you to return and rekindle this inner knowing for the sake of your own well-being, for the sake of our planet and for future generations to come who will inhabit it.

Principles of Mindfulness

Awareness - Paying attention to our attention - how and what we notice
Non-judgement - Our ability to accept experiences as they are without
evaluation or judgment
Peacefulness - Our ability to cultivate a state of peacefulness and equanimity
amidst changing conditions

Pay attention to these principles as you go through each exercise, bringing with you a sense of wakefulness, appreciation, and wonder to each experience.

9. Bring Nature In

Create a terrarium in your house comprised of native plants and materials from your walks. Allow this to be a daily reminder to appreciate and savor nature and
the wildness both within and without.

Italian-Style Egg Drop Soup 

Ingredients:
6 cups vegetable or poultry broth
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
¼ tsp. garlic powder
4 eggs
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cups spinach or similar green, sliced into thin strips
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat broth in a deep pan with herbs and garlic on medium heat until near boiling. While the broth is heating, slice the fresh spinach leaves and reserve. Scramble eggs in a container with a spout, then stir the Parmesan into the
scrambled eggs. When broth is about to boil, slightly reduce the heat, and slowly pour the egg-and-cheese mixture (as a thin, lumpy stream of liquid) into the hot broth, which will quickly poach the "dropped eggs". After the eggs have been
added, fold in the spinach strips until they wilt for 1-2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, adjust the salt and pepper seasoning to taste, and serve immediately.
