College Spotlight
________________________________

[https://mcusercontent.com/0d0244cb97426858e89e8fe0f/images/75e7ef1d-b629-49fe-ac25-443c5ccda05b.jpg]

The college was established in 1949 by California Governor Earl Warren, to serve the rapidly expanding post-World War II population of Orange and Southern Los Angeles counties. Since then, CSULB has grown to become one of the state's largest universities.
The institution was first named as Los Angeles-Orange County State College. Peter Victor Peterson was its first president. It offered 25 courses, taught by 13 faculty members, in two apartment buildings at 5381 Anaheim Road in Long Beach. In June 1950, the citizens of Long Beach voted overwhelmingly to purchase 322 acres (130 ha) as a permanent campus for the college, then known as Long Beach State College. The purchase price was nearly $1 million. Student enrollment grew rapidly in this new, permanent location.

CSU Long Beach has become the most applied to campus in the California State University system, receiving over 102,000 applicants with a low acceptance rate of 28%, edging out San Diego State in number of applicants and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly SLO) in percentage accepted.

The university offers 82 different bachelor's degrees, 65 types of master's degrees, and four doctoral degrees. It is home to one of the largest publicly funded art schools in the United States. Some of the most popular majors at the university are business, social sciences, communication and journalism.

CSULB has more than 300 student organizations and 37 Greek chapters. Campus life places an emphasis on sustainability, with the CSULB Sustainable Transportation Program and the Sustainability Initiative, which focus not only on the environment but also on protecting the surrounding community and economic systems.

The school is known for its star alumni, which includes director Steven Spielberg, who left before graduating in the 1970s but came back to complete his degree in 2002. The television producer responsible for The X-Files, Chris Carter, and actor Steve Martin are also alumni.

Career of the Month
________________________________
Mechanical Engineer

[https://mcusercontent.com/0d0244cb97426858e89e8fe0f/images/03c6b98c-31c0-4ab7-a91c-132b326cdb87.jpg]

Mechanical engineers design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal sensors and devices. Mechanical engineers generally work in offices. They may occasionally visit worksites where a problem or piece of equipment needs their personal attention. Mechanical engineers work mostly in engineering services, research and development, and manufacturing.

Mechanical engineers typically need a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or mechanical engineering technology. All states and the District of Columbia require mechanical engineers who sell services to the public to be licensed.

The median annual wage for mechanical engineers was $88,430 in May 2019. Employment of mechanical engineers is projected to grow 4 percent from 2019 to 2029, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Job prospects may be best for those who stay abreast of the most recent advances in technology.
