NSBE Austin Professionals

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers, hosts, and participating schools for making this year’s Engineering Day unforgettable.

Over 60 students from Harmony Science Academy, Pflugerville High School, and Killeen ISD went behind the scenes at the Austin campuses of Dell Technologies, IBM, Cadence, and Google. From touring high-tech workspaces to engaging in deep-dive Q&As with industry engineers, these students showed up with incredible curiosity and energy.

Events like this are only possible through the strength of our Greater Austin community.

🌟 From Engineer to Executive: Lessons in Leadership, Identity & Impact
Our theme challenges us to think beyond our technical roles and explore what it means to lead—professionally, personally, and within our communities. We’ll dive into how identity shapes leadership and how engineers can create lasting impact in every space they enter.

🔥 Fireside Chat Spotlight: Deonte Thompson
We are excited to host a Fireside Chat with Deonte Thompson, whose journey from engineer to executive reflects our theme.

This is an opportunity to gain real-world insight, ask meaningful questions, and be inspired by a leader who has walked the path many of us aspire to follow.
