LEARN MORE ABOUT ENGINEERING AND NETWORK WITH STUDENTS PASSIONATE ABOUT THE FIELD!
Engineering focuses on solving complex technological problems, and as the discipline expands on campus, so should your network and skillset! The Engineering Fellows program prepares students by getting involved in the engineering community and exploring the many exciting career paths.
The Engineering Fellows program is a selective program for students who have a strong interest in pursuing research, graduate school, or an industry career in engineering fields including: Chemical, Quantum, Biomedical, Materials, and many more!
The program is open to first- and second-years as well as transfer students. Students from all prospective or declared majors eligible, and those who are completing a major or minor through the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering are strongly encouraged to apply!
Access to mentorship and events to help you reach your career goals
Fellows have access to tailored career programming to expand their understanding of career paths and provide a competitive edge in their professional development. Fellows also benefit from small group peer mentoring through which they will be matched with upper-division Molecular Engineering majors to provide additional guidance on their academic and professional journeys. Through the program, students may engage in the following programming and experiences:
- Engineering Immersion Sessions to provide on- and off-campus engagement opportunities with employers and alumni and provide expert insights on professional development topics and industry trends
- Small Group Mentoring led by 3rd and 4th-year Molecular Engineering students to provide guidance and a supportive network of peers
- Faculty-led Talks and Presentations to highlight the cutting-edge research and new innovations coming out of the PME.
- Career Development Workshops to illuminate the many post-graduate paths open to engineering students and equip students with the tools needed to take the next steps.
