Ep. 38 The ABC’s of YOUR ENGINEERING CAREER with Marc LeVine (The ABC’s of Control Systems Engineering and Thermosystems USA)

I had such a blast filming this episode of the podcast with Marc. Marc is such a wonderful guest and a wonderful advocate for engineering career development. He’s MUCH further along than I am in this space and I’m so grateful that he took the time to share his expertise and advice on the podcast. It’s really worth a listen.
