The Professional Development Committee of AIChE at the University of California, Riverside is the main organizer for the annual Industry Night. The ProDev Chair is the primary contact for any professional workshops, events, and networking opportunities. Our main goal is to provide a direct pathway from academia to industry for current UCR engineering students.
AIChE's Professional Development Committee is always looking for new members to join! By joining the committee, you highlight leadership experience on your resume, demonstrate involvement in AIChE, which may help you become a future executive board member and have the opportunity to network with industry professionals via our outreaches.
We look forward to working and connecting with you!
