Courses

Program components include experience in working on genuine engineering research projects, research skills and college prep workshops, science communications workshops, and additional supplemental seminars and opportunities. 

Enrollment in this course acknowledges the student’s participation in an industry project. 

Working with a mentor (alumni, adjunct faculty, or industry partner) in relevant industry, students will work with a team of 3-5 students on an identified project. The career placement officer can assist in administering the advertisement, selection and recruitment processes.  Students can enroll in ENGI E4700 for zero credit, zero fees; students who wish to earn academic credit can enroll in Fieldwork. The specific requirements for the project is defined by the mentor.  Groups should meet with their mentor on a weekly basis for at least 30 minutes. Students are also encouraged to submit bi-weekly progress reports to the mentor.  Upon completion of the project (end of July/beginning of August), each team will participate in an industry project showcase to present their project and deliverables.  Students will receive coaching on presentation skills from the professional development and leadership and the career placement officer teams.

Working with a faculty member and a team of 3-5 graduate or undergraduate students, students will have the opportunity to work on a small research project. Students can enroll ENGI E3900/4900 for zero credit, zero fees; students who wish to earn academic credit can enroll in the faculty member’s independent research course or Fieldwork. Specific requirements for the project are defined by the faculty members.  Research groups meet weekly with their faculty member. Students are also encouraged to submit bi-weekly progress reports to the faculty member.  Upon completion of the research project (end of July/beginning of August), each research team will participate in a research symposium to present their research and deliverables. Note: Enrollment in this course acknowledges the student’s participation in research with an Engineering faculty member.
