Careers for Engineers is a podcast dedicated to Hokie engineering and sweet, sweet engineering jobs. Each month, your hosts Niki Hazuda &amp; Megan Reese (two non-engineering journalists) chat with a Hokie engineering alum and get all the deets on how you can do what they do! Find your true engineering calling with Careers for Engineers (or at least meet cool alumni).
