Summer Industry Projects

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.
