Week's End Website Trivia

In case you missed it, we've launched a brand new website!  You can check it out here.

For those playing our Commonwealth Trivia game, the answer to our website trivia question follows.

Q:  In what year did the Foote brothers construct the Croton Dam?

A:  In 1908, the Croton Dam was constructed with a new, unbelievably high voltage (110 kV) transmission line, prompting engineers from as far away as Russia, France, England, Japan, and Italy to travel to Michigan to see the new line and meet its designers.

We're going back to college...

It's fall and that means it's College Recruitment Time!  We couldn't be more excited.  In a few days, we're going on the road to meet some of the engineering leaders of tomorrow.  We really enjoy meeting engineering students, sharing information about our internships, and listening to them share what they are looking for in a post-college career.  We've met many great people whom we've hired as a result of these events.  Who knows, maybe soon you could be one of them!  Click here to view our current openings. 

Please look for us at these upcoming career fairs -- we're looking forward to meeting you!
