My Experience at KCI Technologies
as a Teacher Extern for the Maryland Chamber of Commerce
For four weeks, I am working at KCI Technologies as an extern. In this role, I get a snapshot of the different markets and will take back to my classroom what I learn in the form of lesson plans and project ideas.
Terry Neimeyer

After working at KCI for 43 years, Mr. Neimeyer has a wealth of information to share with future engineers. HE suggests future engineers to become preficient in time management, negotiating, presenting and public speaking and conflict resolution.
Nate Beil
President & CEO
Recruiting and retaining the best talent is only one part of running a company like KCI. Mr. Beil sums the work they do at KCI as "putting the 'quality' in quality of life." Outside of critical thinking, communication and group dynamics, Mr. Beil suggests students surround themselves with people they respect but think differently.
Stephanie Barrows
Director of Human Resources
Directing all 1700 employees at KCI is no easy feat but Ms. Barrows makes it appear that way. The dynamic, friendly and competitive work environment at KCI is one anyone would enjoy. KCI offers many great benefits to its employees and through recruitment, many come from diverse educational backgrounds.

As an environment scientist, Mr. Deriu is responsible for the nationwide oversight of KCI's natural resources, water resources, asset management and geospatial solutions practices. He also works with the P-Tech program at Dundalk High School. While education is very important to Mr. Deriu, experiential learning
