[FAST] For Graduating Seniors: Job Opportunity at Becton Dickinson

[Mae Abiog]

Hello!

My co-worker Joe Bieler, who is a Stevens alumnus at Becton Dickinson (where
I currently co-op), came up to me today and asked me if I knew any
graduating seniors majoring in mechanical engineering or biomedical
engineering because there are a few open full-time positions available. He
said he will be visiting campus sometime this semester but he'd like to know
who he is interviewing before he actually interviews with them. This is all
the information he told me today but if you are truly interested please
e-mail me back as soon as possible and I will get you more information.

Also, if you have never heard of Becton Dickinson here is some information
for my current co-op position courtesy of Christian Uhl. This is *not* the
job description for the open position I previously stated. I am just putting
