“Professor for a Day” Barbara Glassman, a 2003 alumna of the College of Engineering and Computer Science and a software engineer at Boeing Co. was among the more than 25 industry leaders to take part in the college’s annual “Professor for a Day” activities. Fellow alumnus Oliver Watson III, an electrical engineer at Boeing Co. in Anaheim, said the event is a way to cultivate relationships between industry and the university, which helps students become aware of where to look for jobs after graduation. Watson spoke about “Engineering Probability and Statistics” and explained how it is used in industry. “Hopefully they’ll have an appreciation for what they’re learning and it will be an advantage when they go out and start their careers.”
