Industry Awareness Fair slated for Friday
Representatives from 21 major United
States companies and corporations will be
at CSUF Friday as part of the Second
Annual Industry Awareness Fair hosted
by the Society of Hispanic Professional
Engineers (SHPErand the School of
Engineering.
The fair will include students from not
only CSUF, but from highschools in the
Fresno area and from three community
colleges.
A formal announcement of the event
said that the fair is designed "to help students interested in engineering learn more
about the opportunities available within
the various engineering disciplines."
Last year's fair included only five corporations and the student turnout was
much less than the 100 who are expected
to come this year.
"The whole purpose of this event is to
get students who are interested in engineering in touch with people already in the
profession." said Aaron Reynoso. secre-
'ln the past, hispanics
have chosen fields and
have not considered
engineering
tary and last year's president of SHPE.
Reynoso was largely responsible for the
establishment of the yearly event which
was created while he was president of the
organization.
Reynoso. who is again in charge of the
fair, said that letters were sent in February
to "about fifty or sixty companies welcoming their attendance." Flyers were sent out
inviting students from local high schools
and students from Fresno City, College of
the Sequoias and King's River community
The fair will give students a chance to
make possible contacts in the professional
world and will give high school students a
look at CSUFs engineering program, but
Reynoso said that is not the main emphasis of the event. "This is more of an informative fair than it is one for recruitment of
jobs and recruitment of students to attend
Fresno State," Reynoso said.
A variety of specializations in engineering will be included among the representatives who have been asked to submit biographies of their professional careers.
The corporate engineers will share their
experiences in careers and then will participate in a question-and-answer session
with the audience. Students will also have
the opportunity to personally talk to the
representatives.
All participants at the fair will be invited
to a social dinner which will conclude the
"The social dinner will enable students
to continue the conversations under a
more relaxed atmosphere,* Reynoso said.
*We are hoping that 1his will be a time
when students ask more questions.*
The Society of Hispanic Professional
Engineers is a recently formed national
organization. The CSU F chapter was first
firmly established in 1980.
"We were around before then, but we
didn't really get things going until 1980,"
The organization gives its members a
chance to learn more about their future
occupations and has been active in informing high school students of the opportunities'in engineering.
"In the past, hispanics have chosen
other fields and have not considered engineering as a viable career- possibility,"
Reynoso said. "Students in this valley face
the problem of not being able to identify
with engineering because there is no major
industry or high technology here."
Reynoso said that his organization does
not put pressure on the high schools to
direct students into engineering. Instead,
he said, SH PE tries to motivate those students who are interested in the field.
The word Tiispanic" is used by SHPE
because the organization includes all
Latino students from any country, said
Reynoso, a senior majoring in electrical
engineering. Reynoso, a native of this
area, graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis
Obispo, With a degree in agriculture before
coming to CSUF lo major in engineering.
"One setback in agriculture is that in
many instances it doesn't pay," Reynoso
said. "Since I grew up in this area, I've
been around agriculture and that's the
first area I went into before I found that I
preferred engineering."
SHPE member Cristian Perez, a 21-
ycar-old industrial engineering major, said
that he joined the organization "to become
better prepared for a future in engineering
and to get to meet and work with people
with the same major.
'1 think that the fair will be a good
opportunity to listen to the different specialists in engineering to see what's going
on when you're out on the job," said
Perez. ^
The Industry Awareness Fair will be
held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the third
floor of the CSUF College Union. Inaddi-
tion to the company representatives, CSU F
professors ofengineeringand other related
studies will be on-hand to answer ques-

Stress topic
of research
Two frequently used and abused terms
that describe serious and widespread problems in students populations are "lunli-
ness" and "stress.* according to Dr. Janet
Lapp, an associate professor of psychology at CSUF. Both terms will be the subject of two separate studies being carried
pit beginning this month by Dr. Lapp,
with the help of psychology graduate
students.
The first study will have two major
phases. The first phase this spring will be a
comparison by questionnaire of ethnic
group differences in involvement levels,
activities, support networks, feelings, lon-
liness, and various attitudes including
those toward work and the family. Although the results of the questionnaire
phase alone should increase understanding of the relationship among these variables, the questionnaire will be used to
select participants for further in-depth
study, including long-term follow up.
The second study will explore factors
influencing stress reactions. Phase One
will involve detailed questionnaires regarding activities, alcohol, smoking, diet,
behavior patterns health status, and adjustment level. Phase Two participants will be
selected according to their initial scores,
and those selected will be given the opportunity to examine their stress "reactivity"
as they are "challenged" in different ways
while connected to the Psychology Department's computerized multiple channel
physiological monitoring equipment. Volunteers will be able to learn exactly how
they respond to different stressors, and

consumption and reactions of the
nervous system will be examined in the
light of different behavior patterns.
Depending on the results of Stage Two,
participants will be offered on of four
intervention plans, including both traditional and innovative techniques. In addition to stages Two and Three, and
dependent on funding, all questionnaire
respondants will be given the opportunity
to be followed over the next year to assess
changes in health and behavior patterns.
The studies are being supported in part

DiCerto said that until working with
Macris, she had no idea that nurse-midwifery was such a demanding and intense,
yet rewarding profession. Working with a
CNM gave just the right touch of reality to
help her decide in the future about a possible career in nurse-midwifery.
