报告摘要：

This presentation is based on the personal experience of Dr. Wing Ng, as an engineering professor, as an entrepreneur, and as well as from his work experience with industries. The targeted audiences are undergraduate and graduate engineering students who will be finishing their education and leaving the university soon. The discussion is divided into three parts.

Industry: What is expected of you? How to manage your career?

Graduate school: What are a MS & a PhD? On choosing a project/Professor/School

Entrepreneurship: Why do you want it and what it takes to succeed?
