When choosing a company to work for, most young engineers spend a lot of time considering which firm is "right" for them. Everyone wants to make the "right" decisions to advance their careers, and one of the largest issues young engineers consider is whether it is better to work for a large or small firm. In order to provide further insight into this question, the Met Section's Younger Member Forum (YMF) chose "Engineering Firms: Does Size Matter?" as the topic for the Eleventh Annual CEO Forum, which was held at Columbia University in Manhattan on March 6, 2012.

Younger Member Forum 
On Tuesday, February 21, 2012, the Met Section Younger Member Forum hosted its first-ever information session for engineers registered for or thinking about taking the PE Exam. The YMF assembled a panel of engineers who recently passed the Civil PE Exam to share their personal experiences and participate in an open Q&A session with prospective exam takers. The attendees learned valuable study tips and test taking strategies. They also received a lot of practical information such as how to get to the testing location and what to bring with them.
On a beautiful autumn morning on Sunday, November 20th, members of the Met Section Younger Member Forum laced up their running shoes and ran through Central Park in the annual Race to Deliver. After the race, the participants went to a nearby restaurant to refuel and enjoy a well-deserved brunch.
