With employers like Hughes Aircraft, Raytheon, and Ball Aerospace on his resume, this alumnus now brings his expertise to the role of mentor for the next generation of engineers<\/h3>\n

He was a curious kid who wanted to know how things worked, including the television set, the radio, and the family\u2019s station wagon. He remembers taking the TV apart with his dad, and then pulling out a few of the vacuum tubes to learn how they control the flow of electricity.<\/p>\n

When Klem was a teenager, he started working on his first car as well as the family cars. In high school, he took his core academic classes in the morning at his high school and then went to a vocational technology school in the afternoon, where he could delve into electronics theory and hands-on projects.<\/p>\n

This was the life of a future engineer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Pursuing college and career<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/h3>\n
\"Kevin

Kevin Klem ’80<\/p><\/div>\n

When it came time to look at colleges, Klem gravitated to the University of Rochester because of its well-known engineering program. During his four years in the College of Engineering\u2014now the Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences<\/a>\u2014he had some very memorable experiences including working on one of the world\u2019s first CAT scanners with graduate students and professors at the University of Rochester Medical Center.<\/p>\n

After graduating with a degree in electrical engineering, Klem had a number of job offers from around the country. Since he was always drawn to the space and the military industries, he took a position with Hughes Aircraft Company in California. He was on a team that engineered sensors and electronics for missiles as well as infrared sensor systems for A-6 fighter planes.<\/p>\n

While at Hughes Aircraft Company, Klem was a awarded a fellowship that allowed him to get a master\u2019s degree in electrical engineering from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. After moving to Colorado with Hughes Aircraft Company and then Raytheon Company, Klem earned an MBA from the University of Colorado at Denver.<\/p>\n

A few years later, Klem worked on satellite ground station hardware and software for NASA\u2019s Earth Observing System and other clients from around the world. Klem was involved in the design, test and installation, and checkout of these ground systems. His role was to help ensure they worked in conjunction with the satellites to collect scientific data or provide communications capability.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Helping the next generation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Klem vividly remembers how people at Hughes Aircraft Company mentored him in his early years. Because of this, he wanted to play the same kind of role for the next generation of engineers, so, in 2015, he began working with the University of Rochester to help recruit students to the Raytheon Company.<\/p>\n

In 2019, after a short retirement stint, Klem joined Ball Aerospace Technology Corporation as its ground segment chief engineer. He continues to recruit students\u2014many of whom are optics engineers\u2014for summer internships. Klem engages directly with students, too. He offers them advice, reviews their resumes, provides professional insight, and connects them with people in the industry.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Mentoring and more<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\"Charles

Charles Pan ’22<\/p><\/div>\n

Since 2020, Klem\u2019s been part of The Meliora Collective Mentorship Program<\/a>, which runs two formal mentorship programs each year. One of his mentees, Charles Pan \u201922, a mechanical engineering major, was very interested in the automotive industry and wanted to know more about it. As it turned out, Klem knew someone who was very well known in the NASCAR world.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy tapping into my network, I was able to connect Charles to Dennis Fischer, who has built engines for Dale Earnhardt and other top NASCAR drivers,\u201d says Klem. \u201cCharles spent about an hour with Dennis who gave him insight into the field. Mentors can do this sort of thing\u2014open up their networks and share their life experiences and know-how.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKevin has been so helpful to me and is sincerely interested in my progress and success,\u201d says Pan. \u201cAlthough our match program has officially ended, we still talk, and I give him updates on my job search process. It\u2019s nice to know there is someone out there\u2014even as far away as Denver, where he lives\u2014who is always there to support, listen, and guide me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pan recommends that students and recent graduates take advantage of The Meliora Collective<\/a> and all it has to offer, including the mentorship match program. \u201cYou will get matched with someone who is committed to helping you, which can lead to exciting connections and opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Rose

Rose McDonogh ’21<\/p><\/div>\n

Klem has also been working with Rose McDonogh \u201921, who graduated with a degree in electrical and computer engineering and is currently pursuing her master\u2019s degree in it at the Hajim School. \u201cWhen Rose was thinking about her next steps, she thought about whether to head right into industry or to pursue a PhD,\u201d says Klem. \u201cI gave her my insights, what\u2019s worked well for me, and encouraged her to make well-informed decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKevin\u2019s perspective has helped me figure out that I want to look for employment after I get my master\u2019s rather than pursue a PhD right away,\u201d says McDonogh. \u201cHe told me that some companies will actually sponsor PhDs and that it’s common to change positions within an organization to grow skills and explore new interests. Kevin has also given me resume feedback and helped me find jobs, because I originally wasn’t too sure what was out there.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Trusting the experience of others<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Like Pan and McDonogh, Klem encourages all students and recent graduates to find a mentor and to connect with alumni through The Meliora Collective. \u201cFor young people, trusting the experience of others is so important. So often, we can say \u2018I\u2019ve been there and done that,\u2019 which can help a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor anyone considering whether to sign up as a mentee, trust the process, allow your mentorship relationship to develop over the three months of the program, and commit to being an engaged participant,\u201d says Michelle Calvalcanti, associate director, Career and Professional Affinity Programs at the University. \u201cSometimes, a mentee may not see an obvious reason why we matched them with a certain mentor, but we do look at every mentee and make matches with their individual needs in mind. This mentorship program is a great opportunity for both mentors and mentees to connect through the University.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” background_color=”#e6f3fa” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
