Invest in Cohort Building and Experiential Learning Opportunities!
The Engineering Fellows program offers a curriculum designed to expand your network at both the peer and professional level - while offering experiential learning opportunities. The program provides three years of career preparation programming where you will develop leadership skills and collaborate in project-based scenarios! Throughout the process, Fellows receive mentoring from employers, experts in Career Advancement, and recent alums in the field!
Over the course of the three years, students may engage in the following programming and experiences:
- Engineering Immersion sessions where we bring in employers and/or recent alums to provide expert insights on professional development topics
- Engineering Competition where the cohort will be split into teams to design, to deliver, and to present a solution given a complex technological challenge
- Employer information sessions to learn about opportunities in the field
- Networking events to encourage cohort building and mentorship opportunities
