Keith Davis, who graduated in 2011 from Middlesex County College, was named the 2013 Outstanding Senior in the Department of Engineering Technology at the Newark College of Engineering, which is a division of the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The two schools have a strong transfer agreement and he transferred to NJIT after graduating with high honors from Middlesex.<\/p>\n
Mr. Davis came to Middlesex as an adult student following work as a machine operator for a concrete preparation service and an asbestos abatement company. His work with the former got him interested in engineering and construction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a very good experience at MCC,\u201d he said. \u201cThe professors were knowledgeable and approachable, and it prepared me very well for NJIT. I made lots of friends, some of whom transferred with me to NJIT.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Davis now works as an estimator for a company that does site work and paving. He anticipates taking the exam to become a Certified Professional Engineer.<\/p>\n
Thomas Sabol, chair of the Department of Engineering Technologies, said the relationship between Middlesex and NJIT makes transferring easy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very proud of Keith,\u201d Professor Sabol said. \u201cHe was an outstanding student at MCC and it is great to see he has continued his excellent work at NJIT.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Davis is the fourth Middlesex graduate in six years to earn Senior of the Year honors from NJIT. Owen Fitzgerald \u201906 received this award in 2008; Walter Vittitoe \u201909 won it in 2011; and Tia Montalto \u201910 in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
