In April, first-year Cluny students interviewed US-based alumni as part of their project "Shadowing an engineer".
One of the participants, Paul-Emmanuel Oubrier (Cl 195), who was interviewed by a first-year student Nicolas Levy, shared their experience:
"We had a great discussion with Nicolas. The interview went very well; the student was excellently prepared, and our exchange—somewhere between formal and casual—was so engaging that we both found it hard to end the call!
We explored what it means to be an engineer today, discussing how to navigate different career paths while keeping human values at the heart of everything we do. We also touched upon the unique "plus" that an Arts et Métiers education brings to these journeys.
Definitely, a great experience for both of us!"
English teachers, Elaine Storie and Tessara Guillot, added:
"We would like to express our thanks to all the engineers who gave up their time to speak to the students.
From our point of view, the project was very successful. The students were very interested in the various career paths and jobs. They also got a real sense of achievement from conducting the interview in English and realizing that English is a professional tool and not just an academic subject. The project helped to open the students’ eyes to the vast range of jobs engineers do and broaden their horizons."
We look forward to continuing our collaboration with English departments in Cluny and other campuses to further explore engineering careers and strengthen connections between generations of Gadz'arts.
