STUDENT PROFESSIONAL AWARENESS CONFERENCE:

 

Going Into Business for Yourself as an Engineer

Would you like to learn how to start your own business and if this is the Right option for YOU?  Mr. Orin Laney will show you how to realize this dream. 

 

Orin E. Laney

Orin Laney became interested in electronics when he built his first crystal radio at age twelve. He was raised in the Washington DC area and received his BSEE from the University of Maryland under its Co-op Engineering Program. After working as a design engineer for four years, he paused for two years to obtain an MBA from Brigham Young University. Since graduation, Mr. Laney has founded several small businesses in the electronics field. He is busier than ever, designing, researching, and making deals.

Mr. Laney does most of his design in video and high speed analog, digital signal processing, ultrasonics, and real-world computer interfacing. He is active in the IEEE as a senior member and is a former Chair of the Intellectual Property Committee.

MAKING IT: HOW TO GO INTO BUSINESS FOR YOURSELF

After four or five years of concentrated study neatly packaged into semester or quarter-sized challenges, the engineering student is ready to graduate and begin a career. Many are surprised to discover that employers value them less for their academic prowess than for certain intangible qualities. The flip side of the coin is that employers are always surprised when the engineers who exemplify those intangible qualities are first to quit their "careers" to start their own businesses.
